CELTICS BUILD HUGE LEAD, THEN DECIDE TO TAKE THE FOURTH QUARTER OFF; VIOLET PALMER MAKES THE WORST CALL IN HISTORY
The Celtics quickly built a 28-point lead on the second most chaotic team in the league (behind the Knicks), the Miami Heat. Just as quickly, they started sleepwalking the ball up the floor and the lead was cut to 7 points in the fourth. Thankfully, the Celtics pulled it together just enough to pull out the 95-85 victory. I don't know where people will come down on this one, but I am going to chalk it up to the second game of a back-to-back. Another factor, of course, was that the Heat are terrible and the Celtics had a huge lead for the second night in a row so they lost focus. Some victories are moral losses, this one does not fall into that category. Let's get to the superlatives.
MVP: I am going to give this one to James Posey, who didn't have a great statistical night but played ridiculous defense and had a lot of little things like rebounds down the stretch and a clutch diving steal that made him the most important guy on the floor for the Celtics. Tommy just gave him the Tommy Award, so I know I'm not alone on this one.
LVP: Mark Blunt. 0 minutes. He was spotted down the stretch grazing on palm trees with other retarded giraffes.
WTF Award: Ray Allen was 3-17. WTF.
WTF Award, Part 2: The Heat STARTED Chris Quinn?!? He's not a bad player at all, but WTF!?
Most Impressive Rookie: I love Daequan Cook, and I will never, ever spell his name correctly.
Douchebag Award: Udonis Haslem. He had a perfect form tackle on Ray Allen in the fourth that Violet Palmer called a jump ball. It was an outrageous call and reminded me that Haslem is vastly underrated in the world of douchebaggery.
UP NEXT: Sunday afternoon against the stupid Cavs.
