BE ADVISED: THIS GAME SUMMARY CONTAINS EXCESSIVE TNBC HANG TIME REFERENCES.
As you can see from the highlights, Coach Theus was not happy with his team tonight. Without Kevin Martin, the Kings folded worse than that time Danny tried to tell Julie that he liked her.
After the Celtics got out to an early lead, the "road warrior" Ron Artest lived up to his billing and led the Kings back in the second. The Celtics let their guard down and trailed by a few at half time. In the 3rd the Celtics gave the Kings their business and were able to open-up a double digit lead. By the fourth, the game was in the bag and the Celtics cruised in for the easy dub. After the game Coach Theus treated both teams to burgers and milkshakes at The Stadium.
The real story tonight was the absence of Kendrick Perkins. He missed the game tonight after suffering a bruised toe after dropping his bed on his foot.
"I guess whoever put my bed together didn't put it together right," Perkins told the Associated Press. "When I moved, one side of my bed fell. My bed was tilted, so I got out of my bed to go push down on the other side. And when I was about getting ready to push down on the other side, the headboard started coming in. So I tried to push the headboard back so it wouldn't fall over. My foot was under the bed and the other side of the bed fell on my foot."
Im no Al Borland, but I dont find it surprising that when a 300 pound man moves to one side of his bed, it tilts. Don't count out the possibility that "fixin' the bed board" is some sort of alibi for a much more embarrassing cause of injury such as "hurt in the act of boofing" or "hurt in the act playing guitar hero II." When Police first questioned Jamaal Tinsley about the gunshots found in his car and personal trainer's elbow, he too claimed it was a bed-bored related accident.
Luckily for the Celtics, Glen "Teddy Broadis" Davis saved the day, making his first career start and scoring 16 points and grabbing 9 boards in 26 minutes. Even with those numbers, the box score never does Big Baby justice, as his hustle and relentless pursuit of the basketball turned the negative of missing Perk into a big positive for the team.
Player of the Game: Paul Pierce. The Big 3 have been playing "humble" basketball of late. Paul returned to superstar form tonight with 26 points, 6 boards, and 4 assists. He showed real "truthiness" tonight as he played like a captain should and never let Artest into his head.
Coach of the Game: Doc Rivers. I love to trash the guy, but right now I can't. Starting Big Baby was genius and in a game where they struggled early, he made great adjustments in the second half. While Reggie Theus has done a solid job this year, he got burned tonight. Maybe Sacramento ought to think of hiring Dick Butkus.
LVP: Artest. Even though Artest played well and his point total currently exceeds his album sales, he is still a D-bag who likes to abuse his animals and spouse.Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/12/celtics-give-kings-royal-kick-in-sac-as.html
