The Celtics had a nice, easy win against the Warriors at home tonight. They took a lead in the first and then cruised to a victory. It is weird to have boring wins back in the rotation. Since I am leaving to drive 5 hours in the rain at 6am tomorrow, I am going to make this baby short and crappy, like Baron Davis.
MVP: Paul Pierce. He took almost exclusively good shots tonight, pulled down 10 rebounds, and decided to strop doing his Eddie House impression and shoot every shot from three. This is how it should work- KG works inside, Pierce handles midrange, Jesus handles the perimeter. That's how it was tonight, thanks to Pierce, and it was an easy victory. (Runner up is KG, who was +22 for the game...)
LVP: I love Powe, but all he gave the C's tonight was 2 fouls and a turnover in 2 minutes of action. I feel bad for Powe, though, because his contract is very incentive-laden. He needs minutes pretty much more than anyone else.
Scalabine Update: He drained a three, didn't faceplant, and was hitting the glass. There are few players more painful to watch in the league, but I have to admit that when he's on the floor with a good lineup, he can serve a useful purpose! Just don't let him dribble.
The "I Want His Life" Award: Austin Croshere. Laugh all you want, but this pasty balding doofus has been in the league for 10 years. He has averaged 6.7 ppg for his career, his highest output being 10 ppg. Can you guess his career earnings, so far, not counting this year? Close- it's actually $53.6 million dollars. His HOF probability, according to Basketball Reference.com? Obviously, 0%.
Random Image Award: That one I posted up there after GIS for "Celtics". The Celtics apparently are known for their logo, their dancers, and Snoopy these days, because that's all you get.
The "Other Two" Update: Rondo was oddly absent from the box score, as he does from time to time, but he looked good. Perk didn't have his most graceful game (4 TO), but he dished out 4 assists. Since I can't really recall one of them, my guess is that the dudes keeping the stats were interpreting the term pretty liberally.... but I'm not hatin'!
UP NEXT: Friday against the Lakers. Lock up your wives and daughters unless you are in the multi-million dollar diamond business.Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/11/back-to-domination.html
