celtics afterthoughts: tommy quotes me (ha!)
Celtics v. Knicks 110-101
Technically this isn’t an afterthought because I’m watching the game right now, but what-ev. I feel the need to relay that after a successful bucket by Leon Powe, Tommy Heinsohn just declared, “That’s money in the bank right there!!” YES! SCORE! I knew the nickname would catch on… I just knew it. *winkys* I also must say that I just watched, with my own two eyes, Glen “Big Baby” Davis nailing two long jumpers in a row. Go bench go! Oh and the most interesting factoid of all regarding this game? Brian Scalabrine started the game in KG’s absence. Like whoa. Apparently Doc wanted to keep the bench intact. Good call from Doc apparently because the bench is tearing it up.
Post-game update: Scal nailed a sweet 3-pointer near the end of the game which was named, “Play of the Game” and Perk was named, “Player of the Game.” Scal was also given the post-game Tommy Award from Tommy Heinsohn. It appears that tonight could best be coined “Brian Scalabrine Night”… Now how often can you say that? Way to go, Scal.
Celtics @ Bucks 102-97
As previously stated, I’m not enamored with watching the Bucks. I’m not sure what I was smoking in an earlier blog post when I said I missed the game because they were playing in Milwaukee and I hate the playing floor — because that was a home game for the Celtics. However, this game was actually played on the Bucks floor, so of course I didn’t watch it. Turns out it was an exciting game that went into overtime and featured a scuffle that ultimately got KG suspended. Ballicky brickhouse monkeyballs, why do I always miss the good stuff? I guess that will teach me to boycott certain games over ugly playing surfaces.
Celtics v. Denver 85-94
Billups seemed to have his way with the Celtics all night. I think he’s exactly what the Nuggets needed because he – oh I don’t know – plays defense.
