CELTICS GREEN BLOG by and for boston celtics fans: Fiddlin' and Diddlin'

Herald Allen scores with D
FL's Take: Ray played great defense on Hamilton and that was one of the reasons we won this game. It is easy to overlook defensive contributions because they don't show up in the box score but they are actually more important than the stats that are on the box score.

Globe Tactful Brown won't shoot down the Bulls
FL's Take: PJ is a very classy person and because of that, he will fit right into this team. Red Auerbach once said that when he was bringing in players, character was the most important attribute. Danny has done a great job of bringing in great character guys to build this team.

The horror, the horror: Pistons-Spurs II looming?
Hoopsworld The hard fouls are coming
FL's Take: One thing is right, the Celtics are in for a battle no matter who they face in the playoffs, but particularly with the Pistons. They are still the Bad Boys and take cheap shots and then fall down like a bullet hits them when touched. I think I would go to battle behind Perk, Leon and Baby any day, though.

FL's Take: I love this picture. Should happen much more often in my opinion. There are just some players that you love to hate and Kobe is one of them.

Detroit Free Press Amir Johnson can't stop his favorite player
FL's Take: I remember Big Baby talking about stepping onto the practice floor the first time with KG. I can imagine for a player like Johnson who has KG for his idol, having to cover him inspires some kind of awe and that gives KG the upper hand right away.
With season series with Celtics over, what can the Pistons take away from it?
Celtics are more than Big 3 and that's scary
FL's Take: Scary indeed. With Perk and Rondo picking it up and breaking out of late and Cassell and Brown on the way, there is plenty about the Celtics that should scare opposing teams.

Fang's Bites Celtics set ratings record in Boston
FL's Take: The Celtics are setting ratings records. They are filling the Garden. They are setting records with merchandise sales. There are a lot of bandwagon fans out there popping up. But, it is so much more satisfying to those of us who have watched every game and proudly wore our Celtics gear throughout the lean years. Knowing that I stuck with this team through the good and bad makes this so much sweeter.

FL's Take: I think giving the team days off is a good idea, but they still need practice since they are trying to work in 2 new players and they can't do that without practice.

LeonPowe.org Celtics get big win over Detroit
FL's Take: I love Leon Powe and agree that he should be getting more playing time. I disagree though that Perk doesn't work hard. He works as hard as Leon but he tries to stay in his role and has had injuries to hamper his play. Perk is getting more comfortable and is going to quiet a lot of his critics the rest of the season.
