Well, I'm surprised.
The Celtics -- though without Rondo, Allen, O'Neal, Dooling, and others; these injuries seem to come and go -- seem unstoppable, as they have torn through three teams that would qualify as legitimate contenders. Plus, the Washington Wizards -- a team that would be good if it could get its act together.
They've done it with rookies, roll players, and a rejuvenated Pierce and Garnett.
And they've done it with heart and perseverance and resolve.
Pierce, in particular, has been impressive. He's proving that he can still lead this time: his scoring is down, but his assists are way, way up. Players are learning from him.
Also: I want to see more of E'Twaun. Get it?
The season's looking up. I'm happy.
Regarding last night's Celtics vs. Pacers game: Were Lou Amundson and Scott Pollard separated at birth? To my knowledge, they're the only two NBA players that have ever rocked the Samurai ponytail.
David West is tough, smart. It's a shame he didn't come to Boston. Oh, well. As players like to say: "That's the business."
