The Celtics had another laugher tonight against the Chicago Bulls. The Celtics were really on their game tonight hitting 58.1% from the floor and 50% from behind the three point line. Paul Pierce led the way for the Celtics in this game with 22 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. Eddie House was electric off the bench with 22 points and 2 rebounds in only 22 minutes. Kevin Garnett only had to play 25 minutes tonight in which he scored 16 points, grabbed 4 rebounds and dished out 2 assists. Shelden Williams had his best game of his NBA career tonight finishing with 10 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocked shots in only 24 minutes. The Celtics are now 3-0 on the season.

The Celtics were relentless on defense in this laugher of a game tonight in Boston. The Celtics held the Bobcats to 18 points or less in each of the 4 quarters tonight. The Bobcats only shot 31.1% from the floor, 0% from three point range (0 for 10) and 52% from the free throw line showing how great the Celtics were on defense in this game. Ray Allen had a poor shooting night (6 of 17 from the floor) but he still led the way for the Celtics on offense with 18 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. Paul Pierce was also effective with 15 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in only 25 minutes on the court. Back up big man Shelden Williams had a really nice game for the Celtics as he finished with 12 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists in only 22 minutes on the court. The Celtics are looking pretty darn good as they are 2-0 on the season.

The Celtics sent the Cavaliers and the NBA a message in Cleveland last night…..that they intend to win it all in 2009-2010. Paul Pierce led the way for the Celtics in this game with 23 points and 11 rebounds. He was hitting big shots this whole game and he was mixing it up in the paint which is a little bit unusual for him. Ray Allen was o.k. in this game finishing with 16 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. Kevin Garnett was very effective last night especially on defense as he finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocked shots. Rasheed Wallace was outstanding off the bench which is the reason the Celtics wanted him so bad. In 24 minutes, Sheed finished with 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocked shots. The Celtics are now 1-0 and it was because of the defense which shut down the Cavs last night.

The Celtics have lost Glen “Big Baby” Davis indefinately as he recently has underwent surgery to repair his right thumb that was injured in a fight with an ex-teammate in Louisiana. Davis’ injury won’t hurt the Celtics too much as Rasheed Wallace will likely pick up all of his minutes in addition to backing up Kendrick Perkins at center. Still, the Celtics are a better team with Davis on the active roster so they hope that he will be ready to return to action soon.

UPDATE: Davis will miss two months as he recovers from surgery to repair his broken thumb. He was also indefinately suspended by the Celtics which was deserved.

The Boston Celtics are so deep and talented that I would have to take the over for this season. Any team that can sweet talk players like Rasheed Wallace and Marquis Daniels to sign with them for way below market value is going to win a lot of games. Doc Rivers has the Celtics on a roll lately and they are going to sneak up on “experts” who keep talking about the Cavs and the Magic. That is because K.G. is healthy and ready to rock this season. So, take the over with confidence.
