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.

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!

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.

      But it's not a stretch... we have 7 that could go 7 innings. Not saying that it will happen but no reason to lie about it either. We have some great pitching on this team and have had 7 or more go 7 innings this season.

      All Three Liberal Supreme Court Justices Recuse Themselves in Lawsuit Over 2020 Election Fraud Case!

      By Reagan · Posted

      From the article:   "In a rare move, all three liberal Supreme Court justices recused themselves on May 28 from a case involving a lawsuit filed against them for rejecting a previous lawsuit that sought to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. In the case, the Supreme Court turned away a longshot bid by Raland J. Brunson of Ogden, Utah, who has gained notoriety among Trump supporters for his legal activism. The case at hand is known as Brunson v. Sotomayor. The petitioner sued Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson in their official capacities for voting on Feb. 21, 2023, to deny the petition for certiorari, or review, in his previous lawsuit, Brunson v. Adams." This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up

      Funny how “MAGA” is considered a bad thing…. The MAGA crowd….etc…. Whoever doesn’t want to make America Great should leave.

      That's an interesting take, but considering that an incumbent enjoys a HUGE advantage historically, I think Covey came pretty close to an upset. I don't care one way or the other - the biggest reason being that I live in Hardin County. But I have to think the Trump endorsement got Covey that close in the first place. His only recognition was on a very local level, virtually unheard of before the Trump endorsement. Otherwise, he probably would've lost by thousands of votes instead of a few hundred. Just my observation.

      I think the interesting point is this… Trump backed candidates do better when Trump is on the ballot. Back in March Covey was up by 3%, and that skirt from Jasper pulled about 10%… and most people believed that her voters would go directly to Covey. Conventional wisdom was that Covey would be up by 10-12 points if all things went according to the pattern from March. That just didn’t happen. Typically turnout is lower in runoffs than in the primaries, and my guess is that Phelan had fewer votes this time around than last, but covey had WAY fewer votes. A friend of mine has been watching a similar runoff in central texas, and the results were similar. The MAGA guy just didn’t turn out the votes this May.    My opinion is that a large portion of the support these Trump guys are just that…. Trump supporters. They’ll vote down ticket according to MAGA directives when Trump is on the ballot, but when they can’t vote Trump, they just don’t show up at all.
