That one game suspension that Garnett got was exactly what the doctor ordered. I know it has only been two games but it we are playing much better. With Garnett suspended Rondo was more willing to shoot the ball because he knew that the Celts needed a little more offense and Perk has played real well too.

These two just needed a reason to get going and i think that suspension did the trick. With a confident Perk and Rondo let me be the first to say look at the rest of the NBA!

Or maybe we simply needed to play the Knicks.

It is funny that they have the best record in the east and really haven't played well.

I can't go too many posts these days without mention Tony Allen. He's been better than advertised lately, really hope he continues to improve.

I'd say we haven't seen very much of both the starters and bench having good games on the same night, but thankfully the yin has yanged when the yang hasn't been yinning and v/v or whichever way actually makes sense for the point I was trying to make...Which was what?
Yup

Yes, I think it was good for the team. The supporting cast were relying on the Big Three too much, Garnett's absence forced them to step their own games up.
