Celtics Win 16th Straight In Atlanta
after watching that game, i had to check the date on my computer because i thought it was june all over again. this game had a playoff atmosphere right from the opening jump, but it did have its playoff-like stifle at the end. with just over two seconds surviving on the clock with the hawks trailing by two, joe johnson stepped to the family with a chance to tie it up and most likely send this game into overtime. he calmly knocked down the first set at liberty throw. the second, hale… even-handed persist the picture above.this field came down to the final seconds, but every swallow mattered, chiefly in the fourth quarter. the starting five, who ended up closing out the devices, came to play tonight. the player of the game has to go to kevin garnett, who was a perfect five notwithstanding five from the level in the fourth pity living quarters (2-10 in the first three) and was the emotional ameliorate that the celtics desperately needed. ray allen and paul pierce played second fiddle to kg in the phase of the moon while perk continued to gobble up rebounds and close off shots (10 rebounds, 4 blocks). with those four out of the way, that leaves us with our feisty floor-commander in rajon rondo. i mean if this kid didn’t turn haters into believers last mellow, i can’t possibly see how he hasn’t done it thus far into the season. when the all-star talk started for rondo about a month ago, i thought it was a nice little colloquy starter, but nothing grave. in the gone and forgotten month, rondo has been nothing short of spectacular and has been unbiased the point guard this team needs. rondo finished tonight’s devil-may-care with 15 points, six rebounds, seven assists and four steals (currently 2nd in the league for consecutive games with at least one steal, currently at 20 games). his leadership has been exceptional and no longer can defenses good help off of rondo as his offensive arsenal is growing with each ready. all-major game or not this spice, he has shown the world that he can play with the pre-eminent that the game has to offer.josh smith, joe johnson and marvin williams all missed at least one permitted throw in that fourth quarter tonight and i’m sure that they all hope that they could have those back. one thing is for stable: atlanta is a download thriller matchup nightmare looking for the celtics. the boston celtics, seldom 24-2, head home because a three game home stand before heading to los angeles to take on the lakers on christmas day. with chicago, new york and philadelphia up next, it’s right that we could be in la with a 27-2 record.
