RECAP
The Celtics blinded the Suns on Wednesday night. We were up 29 and then things got a little close in the 4th until we put them away. They climbed back because they are a high scoring team, we took the foot off the gas, and we were letting the backup trying to get some meaningless minutes. Not a trend we want to hold on to but a win is a win.
The first thing I want to bring up is no one gives a shit about Celtics/Suns including and especially the Celtics. Like yea KG sac tapped Frye last time we played then Gentry talked to some shit about him. Kevin wanted to play hard out here tonight, sure, but its not like he went home after last game in a blind rage and circled this one on his calendar. There is no rivalry here, no one cares. They are not good, we are. Thats the end of it.
But on the topic of KG, he had whatever the hell he wanted going to the basket. He finished with a season high 28 to go along with 11 boards. A strong game on both ends. Rondo went for 16 points and 15 assists and was dishing some world class passes early when we looked like a machine. Ray added 19, Paul 16 and 13, and Krstic went for 13 of his own who has continued to be a very nice surprise.
Murphy was getting his sea legs under him in this one, finishing without a bucket and 1pt. It will take some time for him to get his wind back, but I am psyched about that pick up. Same goes for Pavlovic. I look forward to them getting into the system.
Pierce had a ferocious dunk on Frye after Grant Hill missed one on the other end. Then he looked at Frye like the blow up doll that he is and they T'ed him up, obviously. This happened in a college game recently and its just as much of a joke here. Like what do you have to do after you put some clown on a poster. Eyes to the floor, no smiling, and immediately get back down the court. What a joke.
I also have no problem with Rondo's three. People jack 3s at the end of the game, it happens. Definitely rubbing it in to some degree but word is the Suns bench was chirping him the last few seconds so he took one. I have no problem with Dudley trying to block it either. The game ends when the ends. Not 3 seconds before.
Big Baby tweaked his knee landing from a dunk at the very end which sucks. Apparently the MRI was negative and he should only miss a week, but I'm just so sick of your players dropping like flies for the stupidest things. Lets hope it really is just a 2/3 game strain.
Finally things with KG and Gentry got a little heated again towards the end. KG got a tech and appeared to have some words with the bench. Then in the post game when asked about it he said, "Alvin Gentry was asking me for tickets for the first round of the playoffs and I told him I'd hook him up. That's what that was about." Such a cold blooded comment. Love it. You need finals tickets bro? Hit us up.
