See what I did there in the title? All jokes aside, the Celtics 2 days after a dissapointing loss to the Spurs they come back big with a huge win over the Thunder. I never lost faith on the C's. Our whole team played great it. Although the Thunder where making a comeback the Celtics never gave up and Jason Terry put the dagger with a 3 with a little over a minute to go. Anyway lets look at the grades.

Rajon Rondo: A


Rondo played great again as always with 6 points 8 rebounds and 16 assists, continuing his streak and is now 1 behind Skelton for 2nd most.

Paul Pierce: A










Pierce, wow I thought he was off his game but did he prove me wrong tonight. He had thet team high 27 points, 4 rebounds 3 steals and he went 7-7 at the free throw line. He was a big part of the win.

Kevin Garnett: A


KG played 32 minutes and had 18 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Not bad for a 36 year old.

Jason Terry: A-
       










Terry got 16 points and went 4-6 shooting 3's and one of them was the dagger. Who needs Ray Allen?

Brandon Bass: C


Bass had 6 points for us, had 6 rebounds and shot 3-12, not good.

Bench: A+


The main reason we won was because of the bench. They outscored the Thunders bench 35-13. What more could you ask for?

Defense: B+


I know allowing 100 points isn't good but it was against one of the best offensive team in the league and the Western Conference Champions from last year, that's pretty good.

Anyway with that win we improve to 7-6  but with 3 winnable games coming up against, Magic (5-7) Nets (7-4) and Portland (6-6) we could improve to 10-6. Who knows maybe with this win it could be the start of something. So what do you think? Comment!
