Boston heads down to Oak-town tonight to match up with Don Nelson’s Warriors. Golden State begins a five-game home stand tonight and has been playing pretty good ball lately. They ended the first half of the season by taking out Nash and the Suns to finish the last 5 games 4-1. Although they lost Tuesday night to the Jazz, they have won 7 of their last 10. (By the way, they outscored the Jazz 32-19 in the last quarter of that game). Garnett’s return to the lineup on Tuesday seemed much worse that it actually was. To me, it simply looked as if the C’s were expecting KG’s usual level of enthusiasm to be returning along with the Big Ticket himself, unfortunately, this was not the case. But if anyone is worried, they should ask whoever’s closest to them for a slap in the face. KG is gonna be fine so relax, he knows he’s not 100%, and said he was “rusty as hell”. The Celtics can now cant their losses on two hands…and its Feb 20th…they’re going to be fine. I ask you, does this man look nervous…
With no Stephen Jackson (out with ankle sprain), the fact that GS is averaging close to 10 pts more a game then the C’s is less important. What is important now is that Boston’s opponents this season are averaging 19 points less than those that have faced GS. The Celtics hate losing, that’s why they have been trying to hard to keep the “L” column in single digits. Now that it’s reached 10, they’re pissed, and they’re gonna let it rain.
Final Score prediction: Boston 109-88
Tommy Award tonight will go to Garnett. He going to find his touch and begin a momentum swing towards Friday--his matchup with Kazaam.
