Don't read into this game too much. Boston was playing without their best two players (Pierce, Garnett). You add that to the fact they are already missing Glen Davis and Marquis Daniels, you got yourself a problem.
So here is the good news. The 2 players I hate on the Celtics (Tony Allen and Shelden Williams) had good game. Allen logged in 32 mins putting up 12 points with 6 assists and 5 boards. The only knock you could have on him was his fouls, but you can chalk that up to the number of mins he had to play. Williams added 14 points of his own and 5 board in only 19 mins. Perkins also had a solid game with 13 points 7 boards, but 1-5 from the free throw line is unacceptable.
The bad news centered around the play of Rasheed Wallace. He was invisible during this game. He only put up 6 points in 31 mins of playing time. Boston really needed him to step up to have any shot at this game, but once again you can't read too much into this game when you are missing 4 really good players. So relax Celtics fans and wait till they are healthy...
