Celtics Notes

What can I say? The Celtics are looking better than ever now. They are looking like the 2008 team, if not better than the championship team. They're still going strong coming into the final stretch before the all-star break. Everything (for the most part) is clicking for the men in green. I couldn't be any happier about it.

Last night, the Celtics eked out a victory over the Kings, with a ton of contribution from the starting five. The Celtics went 3-1 on this past road trip, and beat the defending champion Lakers in the process. The Celtics are looking to be one of the best, if not the best teams in the league right now; they are getting great contribution from every position, every rotation. Though there are still many games left in the season, it can't hurt to be ecstatic with the team's progress.

Also in this game, Ray Allen pulled much closer to tying (and surpassing) Reggie Miller's record for three-pointers in an NBA career. Allen is now just nine three-pointers away from tying the legendary Pacer. It would be phenomenal to see Allen break the record, and, barring any unusual circumstances, he most likely will.

It feels great to be a Celtics fan right now, but we'll see what the second half of the season has to offer for the C's. Many still question if the Celtics will go back to the old habit of falling apart post-All-Star game, but that remains to be seen. But for right now, I'm basking in the winning ways of the NBA's proudest franchise.
