Break out the bandwagon. The C's are back!

great win on the road against a very good team.

only negative, of sorts, was the bench. every player had a plus/minus of -7 or greater. bench needs to produce better if the starters are to be able to rest.

but tonight, even that is not a killer. great game by the celtics.

number 18 looks to be a bit closer.

If Celtics stay healthy and keep improving and playing like that, I wouldn't bet against us.

key to the recent change in performance is the big 3 actually playing big.

c's bench: -47.. OOF

[Tenacious D]

Pierce definitely looks like Pierce. KG more like KG. Ray still Ray. Everyone else in their roles, plus Rondo turned it up when needed. This is very promising.

Fantastic win.  Great to see Pierce, Ray and Rondo play great in the same game.  Perk with a very good game as well.  KG was weak offensively but solid on D.  The bench, aside from Baby's energy and Finley's poise, was terrible and almost cost the team the game.  

And thanks to Caron Butler, whose shot selection and inaccuracy really helped our cause.  I'm very glad we didn't make the rumored Butler/Jamison trade.

Rondo only starter over 36 minutes

Good Point..I'm glad we had Vintage Captain tonight....good thing is that the bench has played well up until tonight.

As long as the bench show up in Utah, I'm good.

[Tenacious D]

Catch Paul post-game? He pretty much admitted he'd played when he maybe should have been setting. He's looking good now.

Here's to finishing the road trip out with a W on Monday.
