BIG BABY GETS IN (ANOTHER) CAR ACCIDENT; CELTICS WIN 18th STRAIGHT


    AWKWARD
    First of all, hopefully Big Baby can bounce back quickly, but it is a little worrisome that he gets into dangerous car accidents on what seems to be a fairly regular basis. (There was a bad one back in college.) While it certainly isn't fair to conclude that Big Baby is a bad driver- it could be bad luck- I just hope that Big Baby minds his 10's and 2's, signals properly, and does not funnel cake batter whilst driving.

    As for the game tonight, the Celtics won their 18th straight. People keep on saying that the Celtics can break the record for best start by a team with two losses. If anyone could explain what the hell this means I would appreciate it. With two losses? Are they on pace for the best start ever? Has there been a team that started 26-1? I don't get the "with two losses" qualifier, and why that is significant. If it's the best start ever, say so. All I know is that the Celtics are ridiculously good and they beat the ever-loving shitcakes out of bad teams. Which brings us to tonight's game.

    The last time the Celtics played the Knicks the Knicks had all kinds of smack to talk after the game. We were all very impressed with their street smarts, their terrifying demeanor, and tough "trash" talk. As soon as Quentin Richardson started his postgame interview last time I locked all the doors in my house, and now I pee myself on reflex whenever I see Moesha. Well, those street toughs backed up that smack talk tonight, as Scal rained threes on their sorry asses in another soul-destroying rout. I'm sure if the game was played in the terrifying neighborhoods in which they grew up in it would have been a completely different story... much like if the game was played with a 35-pound medicine ball instead of a basketball it would have been a completely different story. To recap, Quentin Richardson is dumb.

    Rondo was, again, the best player for the Celtics, or the other team. He was all over the place, especially in the third, driving by whoever was guarding him and tossing in easy layups. I loved his postgame quote from the ESPN recap:

    The Knicks trailed 69-63 before Rondo took advantage of some poor interior defense, driving past defenders -- mostly Chris Duhon and Quentin Richardson -- for layups and all of Boston's points in a 10-4 run that put the Celtics ahead by 12.

    He was 12-of-14 from the floor for the game.

    "I think eight of them were layups. So, hah, I make my layups," Rondo said.


    Yes he does. The Celtics can break the franchise record for wins in a row (now that's a record!) if they can beat the Sixers at home on Tuesday. Go C's, and hopefully everyone traveling for the holidays will do better than Big Baby. Feel better, Baby!Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2008/12/big-baby-gets-in-another-car-accident.html
