It's going to take a super effort tonight to keep the streak alive.  Good luck Rockets!

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

go Celtics!!!  8)

[BWCoach]

This will be the toughest one in the streak.  Its really hard to match up with the celtics, player for player.  But, with that said, I don't think anyone intimidates the rockets right now!!!! Can't wait to watch it!!!!

[Gabe]

No Ray Allen for the Celtics tonight

[BMTSoulja1]

No 'Jesus Shuttlesworth (sp)'?  This greatly increases our chances to keep the streak going!

[Guest DickVitale]

:D LOL @ "Jesus Shuttlesworth"! That was the worst bit of acting that I have ever seen...Glad Ray Allen had another career....He was making DENZEL look bad in "He Got Game"....It was atrocious acting by Allen...LOL :D

[PURPLE 4EVER]

If Alston can come back with another HUGE game the Rockets have a really good shot.

Look for the Celtics to shut down T Mac.

The Rockets will need two other players to get 15+ points.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

go C's! 

[KFDM COOP]

Come on Rockets!!

[PURPLE 4EVER]

Rockets bench playing HUGE in 2nd quarter!

[PURPLE 4EVER]

40 to 40 at half.

Rockets bench has played good enough to keep them in the game.

[82 5A State Champs]

Haven't had much of a chance to see Kendrick Perkins play, as we dont see the Celtics much, but he looks really good! Seems to be a great defensive player!

[PURPLE 4EVER]

Celtics winning 3rd quarter big by dominating the paint.

Celtics playing like they are the best team in the NBA.

Can the Rockets stay close???

[Master T]

Celtic is going to win with the way Rockets are playing but I blame the Officials on this one. They making it hard on them. > >

Celtics played stellar defense all night.  T-Mac was bottled like a genie.  They played great defense on out pick and roll and they switched great on our screens that we like to do.  it also didn't help that he had horrible spacing either.  On offense, that Powe dude off the bench was the X factor.  He came to play.  Of course we had no answer for 'the big ticket' or Pierce. 

With that being said, T-Mac, I know u been trusting your teammates on this streak.  But in a game like this, you have to take over like I know you can.  This game would have been a lot closer.

If you just look at his stats, it wouldn't appear that Perkins plays a big role in the Celtics' success.  When you watch him play, however, you see just how valuable a player he is to them.  His interior defense is huge, and his hustle play and ability to clean up the scraps down low are important as well.  He may never average 20 points a game, but the Celtics are where they are today in part because of his play.

As for the game itself, the Celts made the Rockets look pretty average.  Keep in mind that this was the second game in two days for the Celtics after a hard-fought win over the Spurs the night before.  The streak was impressive, but I still find it hard to believe that the Rockets are good enough to advance in the playoffs over one of the top-tier teams.  Hopefully they can prove me wrong.
