Celtics (13-4) at Bobcats (7-9) 12/1

Great start - we look focused and prepared.  Honestly, when was the last time we had a significant lead after the first 6 minutes?  I can't even remember.

Yup, loooong time ago. Hopefully we can keep it up.

Also, nice timeout by Doc, we were starting to get too tentative on offense.

Wow, this game is going REALLY fast.

Yeah, I know what you mean.  I think the thing is the Bobcats are not a very good shooting team, and this team is very good at shutting down teams that can't shoot.

It's just that easy for KG right now. Naysayers say nay no more.

GREAT D, 5 assists on 7 FG, looking very sharp so far.  Me likey.

At some point Perk is going to start getting more attention on the offensive end.  It will be interesting to see him handle/pass out of the double team.  He has become, dare I say, another weapon.  The more attention Perk gets, the better for the other weapons.

[USG]

I love seeing Daniels at the point. Makes the offense flow so much better than Eddie of the Turnover. Even Pierce tends to get stuck too much in 1-on-1 iso mode.

Of course, that doesn't get rid of Eddie's defense. Oi.

Perk is getting anything he wants. Including layups.

[Drucci]

EXCELLENT passing game!

"Best defense in the league" <- we're getting treated to that alright!

Exactly. Recognition of a weapon (and Perk is absolutely that ever since he's developed a post game--God love Clifford Ray) only helps when there's enough non-weapons to guard. Unfortunately for teams trying to stop the Celtics, Perk was the only guy who WASN'T an offensive threat amongst the starters. I'm not sure they're not better off letting Perk post up 1-on-1 than trying to help off any of the others.

Perk's really got his swagga up.. I love it. Playing with s much confidence

5 times C's got their hands on the ball in that possession and Charlotte ends up scoring.
