Kings are missing shots but the Celtics can't score right now.  

Eddie House had a great second quarter and finally gets in the game here with 1 minute left in the 3rd.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, we are up 7 and have missed about 20 layups.

Kings hit shots and you go after the Celtics d and then when they miss it is the Kings' fault.

Seems like the lead part is being neglected.

I just noticed the Thunder now have 31 wins.  That's right.  In a short time (5-6 games) a team that won fewer than 30 games last year could have a better record than us.

reality of how average this team really is

Or maybe OKC is just that good?

Seems to me the C's had an even more phenomenal turnaround just a couple of years ago.  But really, I'm not sure whether this comparison means anything.

The good is that the Celtics added 2 points to their lead instead of blowing it.

The bad is that the Kings were ice cold from the field but the C's could not get any separation.  They should easily be up 15 against a terrible Kings team.  Unfortunately missing at least 10 layups and blowing numerous fast break opportunities has allowed the Kings to hang around for a late push.

So far this game looks eerily similar to most recent Celtic games.  Maybe the bench will build the lead early in the 4th before the starters come back in...

[Kuberski33]

Trivia question answer...the deal was Danny going to Sac for Ed Pinkney and Joe Klein.  Who was the 4th player involved?

I think it was a 2 for 2 swap....
