C's Extend Streak on Ray Allen's Game Winning 3

Aiight, so hear me out. I'm not gonna be doing a big recap of this game. I wish I could because it was a helluva game. But, my SlingBox wasn't working. PC suddenly doesn't carry CSN anymore, but the ever popular "GolTV" which shows soccer (ahem, football) matches all day. So I was forced to watch online to a stream that wasn't directly from the TV, but a guy holding a camera up to his TV. I was able to watch smooth-flowing video for about 5 second intervals, but the video would lag and the audio would continue. So it was like radio with sometimes pictures. Awesome. But I battled through it the whole game (almost headache inducing).

Anyway, here's what I surmised (nice word, huh?) from what I could see/hear.

--The 2nd quarter was complete bullsh*t. Turnover after turnover after turnover. The sloppiest 12 minutes of game I've seen the Celtics play the whole year and probably since The Trade. 

--We've gone 2-0 with KG out, but I thiiiiink I'd like him back for the Lakers game on Thursday. Thanks.

--Big Baby continues to impress with his jumper.

--We were lazy and got outhustled for the most part in the transition game. Show up!

--Despite shutting down Allen for most of the game, he stuck with it and scored 3 key baskets down the stretch (including the game winning three from the baseline from Pierce, a play he'll make I'd say honestly 8 out of 10 times.)

--Pierce hit some big free throws that he does not make 3-4 years ago.  The best clutch player in the league.

--Intestinal fortitude. After an awful second quarter and extended periods of awfulness and the last two frames, the Celtics showed why they're a veteran team/the champs. They buckled down, didn't let it get under their skin, and stole one in Philly.

The win streak stands at 12 now, with the Lakers coming into town for a rematch of the Christmas Day stupidfest (mostly the refs fault, if I remember correctly. And I'm not even saying that because we lost. It was an abysmal night for the refs on both ends, but ending up hurting the C's more. Oh well, revenge is a dish best served with the Big Three on your ass all game.). To top it off, the purple and gold (ha, they suck) are without Bynum, who's out 10-12 weeks with a torn something-or-other in his knee. OOPS! Too bad.

Nice win tonight. Now 41-9, still best in the league. Sorry for the skimpy recap. If you were on my end for the whole game you'd understand. Yowzahs. Kthxbye.
