Celtics Make History

In very nondramatic fashion the Celtics made history last night taking out the 76ers 110-91. The Boston Champions have wont heir last 19 contests and have set a fanchise record. Not only that but they made NBA history as well becoming the greatest team with 29 games played ever.

The 76ers did run it, they did gun it, and they came up short. There was some Philly dunks, and some blocks here and there, but the Celticsw kept their poise and took care of buisness. They didnt even look like they were trying very hard, and the fans were looking ahead as well. With a little more than 5 minutes left in the 4th the fans started the 'Beat LA' chant as we all anticipate the greatest christmas present we could have gotten, a finals rematch tomorrow.

For all of us here at Dueling Couches, have a very merry Christmas, a happy Haunuka and a Merry (?) Kwanza.

Celtics Preview

the Bostons Celtics look to become one of the greatest teams to ever start a season tonight. With a win not only to they set franchise record for most consecutive wins, but they will also set the NBA record for best 29 game start to a season. I dont see how they wont get it.

Fuck a jinx, fuck poor luck, the Celtics are going to win. In their last meeting Boston took out Philly 102-78 and that was when they had Brand still playing. I will say that i think the 76ers will ultimately do better without Brand in the lineup, and they have won of their last 5 without him, i still dont think they have a prayer tonight.

The Celtics are running on all cylinders right now, and at the heart of the big green machine is the young man from Kentucky, Rajon Rondo. Coming off a career game against NY Rajon has once again proven how far he has come in just a season. His decision making is so much better and thats saying alot since he wasnt making people frown last year. However this year hes taking it to the hole and finishing, and his numbers reflect that.


Philly will run, and Philly will gun, but they will fall well short of making this an interesting game.
