The Chicago Bulls came out onto the court last night wearing what appeared to be the Celtics alternative home jerseys -- the only difference was that they said Bulls. Do they want to be us? Of course they do, we are the champs! So they tried to confuse us by wearing our colors, and it worked. The Bulls scored like us on a normal night...and our defense?
What defense? They scored 127 points last night; the most the Celtics have allowed since 2005. Got to give it to the Bulls. They gave us everything they had and we took it, until Doc got a technical foul with 54 seconds left in the game and the Celtics down 3. After the free throw and the ball -- game over! It was a horrible call and Doc himself was as angry as I have seen him in years, with a good right to be. Everyone's out to get the champs, and last night that included the Bulls and Referee B. Kenny. That loss could cause us to be out of the running for the one seed for sure, and now we have to battle for the two seed against Orlando which is not going to be easy. Now with Powe going down last night we are really hurting. No big men inside and Perk and Moore haven't stepped into Mr. Garnet's shoes, but who could? Tomorrow we rematch the Heat who we just lost to last week. This is when we need Pierce and Allen to step up and take charge because Rondo and House have been getting the job done. This should be a Dwayne Wade vs Paul Pierce show, so tune in. And let's get a win tomorrow night, get KG back on Friday, and go on a run into the playoffs. 1 seed or not, we are still the champs!!!!
