ESPN's Marc Stein and SI's Chris Mannix have released their updated NBA power rankings. Guess which team sits atop both polls?Here's what Mannix has to say about the Celtics:Rasheed Wallace is a pretty good fit in Beantown,
isn't he? Wallace, who is averaging 10.0 points and 4.0 rebounds, has
ensured that the Celtics don't miss a beat when Kevin Garnett is out of
the lineup. He may be needed to fill Garnett's shoes more often, too:
Said one Bulls player, "KG's knee just doesn't look healthy."Maybe that Bulls player should have been playing defense instead of watching KG's knee.Here's what Stein has to say about the Celtics:If the Rondo contract extension saga has been a distraction, imagine
what kind of D we'll see from the C's when they're focused. They held
the Hornets to 87 on Sunday and at times you were asking: "What's
wrong?"The Magic are ranked #2 in both polls.

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them
here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite
as satisfying a good morning dump.“Hey,” said Wallace, “it lets people know that I ain’t a liar. I mean,

crazy and militant, but, hey, it came...

For the most part, Philly fans weren't expecting a win in this game but they were hoping for a competitive game. Unfortunately, their team didn't comply and it ended up another Celtic blowout. It amazes me when fans bash their own team instead of realizing that the Celtics are just playing that well.
Did any of you watch Boston dismantle the Bulls? Offensively they...

Wallace finished with 20 points off the bench, hitting 6-8 from the three point line. The Sixers seemed lost as to how to defend the perimeter. Boston also got 21 points...

by Matt MooreFiled under: CelticsThere were two lingering questions for the Celtics coming into this, a season where they are widely expected to contend for a championship. The first was the status of Kevin Garnett's knee which appears to be just fine. You can notice a very slight hobble by Garnett after an ill-advised dunk, but that could just be reverberations from the accompanying...
