Fun game to watch if you have a severe heart condition and want to die.

A win is a win and against a playoff bound team no less. A win in Philly and the C's are in first place!!!!!!

[Swoopz]

Oh well, a win's a win. 5 straight!

[CelticSooner]

Hey it's a win, that's all you can ask for at this point.

Starters will probably be shot tomorrow night though.

This team is going places, finding way (multiple times needed unfortunately:) to win, grinding it out. Go Cs

Lakers and Pistons going to overtime too.

Stuckey has made some great plays against LA down the stretch. Had a lovely dribble move that faked Kobe out of his shoes and a really tough finish on a dribble drive over A.Bynum. Two huge plays late in that game to pull Detroit back into it.

Hopefully, Detroit can pull that out in overtime.

Rodney Stuckey with seven more points in OT (17pts in the fourth and OT for Stuckey) + an assist to setup a Tayshaun Prince jumper + drew a charge on Pau Gasol to stop an easy finish at the rim. Huge game from Stuckey down the stretch.

Jason Maxiell made two great plays on the boards too. A wonderful offensive rebound and putback and a deflection on the defensive glass to keep the ball away from Pau Gasol to stop an easy interior bucket. Ball bobbled loose to a Piston instead.

Pistons up 3 with 8 seconds to play. Lakers ball.

Pistons win -- Kobe misses a three, Artest misses a three at buzzer.

Celtics Win, Lakers Lose...perfect night.

I'm almost amazed that we didn't manage to give that one away. Definitely not how you want to finish.

On the other hand, 5 in a row, 1 game back in the Atlantic with a chance to take the lead tomorrow, by virtue of the tie-breaker if we win.

Where we rightfully belong 

[GronkSpike]

Man, tomorrow it's gonna be so hard to watch.

GO CELTICS!

The Rockets just wanted it more. It being to give it away.

[Tenacious D]

And, as a footnote, Orlo drops one to Charlotte

[Kiorrik]

Celtics win, Lakers lose, all is well.

We just won against a playoff team in the west when we are the 7th seed in the weaker east.

Be happy, the rockets are the better team (record wise) you cant be mad about a win tonight.

This team has an extra gear defensively that they didn't have last season.  If they stay healthy I think they're going to surprise some people in the playoffs.

Need to find an answer for the rebounding. My heart can't take this. We are letting teams stay in the game by giving them way too many looks. You can play the best defense in the world; but if you are not going to rebound whats the point.

Only hope of fixing that is someone wanting JO's corpse.
