5-2 without Garnett. We are really stepping up without our main star. This is impressive and a message to the rest of the league that we're good because we're a team and not just the L.A Kobe's

How 'bout it!?!

At the beginning of the season:

"Celtic is only pounding on bad teams. Play a team in the west; play a team in Texas."

Against Texas teams: 3-0
Against the west: 16-0

Some much for all the naysayers who say we can't beat the top WC teams.

Well to be fair SA was missing TP and Dallas was missing a few players. However I'm glad that our guys were able to step and continue to play the kind of Defense KG has implemented on this team.

We've been playing well without the MVP of the league. The experience that guys like Davis, Powe and Rondo are getting will prove invaluable going forward.

Or those that say the team is extremely weak after the top 3 players. Guys like Rondo, Powe, House, Posey, Allen, Davis and Perkins have stepped in nicely.

Kevin Garnett >>> Tony Parker and Devin Harris. It doesn't take anything away from it.

Perk being out is pretty big too.

Big WIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Davis defense on Duncan was phenomenal!

First win over SA in Boston in a long long time. This game was all about defense, Davis, Rondo, Tony, and Powe all were very aggressive and making the Spurs rush their shots. Ginobili was just flailing about trying to get a foul and Tony just backed right up off from him. Think he learned a lesson from the Detroit game?

That was so satisfying, I'm half tempted to rewatch it right now.

Davis played incredible defense on Duncan. He may not be a 7 footer, but his quick feet and hands will keep his man honest.

What a win. I have no idea how they continue to play so well with KG, but they do. We were without an MVP candidate and didn't have a guy out there over 6'9 and we just beat the defending champs.

Big Baby played some phenominal D on Duncan and Pierce was the truth.
