PERKINS PROBABLY GOT CALLED FOR THE FOUL ON THIS PLAY
There are many unsavory aspects of New Jersey- the inferiority complex, the horrific stench of the Jersey turnpike, the hellhole cities- but the New Jersey Nets franchise is by far the worst. Ever since the Byron Scott days, they have employed almost exclusively d-bags and moral degenerates. So, it's always nice to beat them. Again. And again. And again.
This game was close, thanks to the refs calling silent farts as fouls against the Celtics the first half and Vince Carter choosing to put forth a magnificent 25% effort, as he is wont to do a couple times a year. But, after almost screwing up this game worse than that abomination of a Spurs game a couple weeks back, the Celtics executed nicely down the stretch and pulled it out. I honestly can't remember the last time the Celtics lost to the Nets. Was it back when the Celtics sucked, two years ago? It's been a long time.
So, despite Vince Carter playing his best game of the season, KG being out, Scalabringinthepain being out, and the refs basically performing fellatio on the whole Nets roster the entire game, the Celtics emerged with a victory. Good learning experience for the not-at-all young team.
Stephon watch: Starbury was booed every time he touched the ball, had two of the worst shot attempts in basketball history, but racked up 4 assists against only 1 turnover. As far as we know, he didn't terrorize the team at all! Rondo's starting spot never really was in question, but if it was, it isn't any longer. However, the Marbury pickup is looking like a wise one, as is Mikki Moore. Also, worth mentioning is that Gabe Pruitt is going to have benchsores on his ass for the rest of the season. Even Bill Walker got some burn tonight. Don't drive and drive, kiddosSource URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2009/03/celtics-beat-nets-vince-carter-is-nancy.html
