Celtics 98, Bucks 89

 The Celtics made it 8-straight wins Tuesday night, knocking off the Bucks, 98-89. KG once again led the charge, going for 25 points and 9 rebounds. Rondo was an rebound shy of a trip-dub, with 9 rebounds, 11 points, and 13 assists. And Perk continued his season-long hot shooting, connecting on 7 of 8 shots for 15 points. Some notes:- Is their a quieter captain in the NBA right now than Paul Pierce? Seriously, he goes for 15, 5, and 5 tonight, and I maybe remember 3 of his shots.- I love how Perk's game has developed over the past few years. He's gone from having nearly every shot in close blocked, to having a very solid offensive game.- KG is back. B-A-C-K.-The bench looked pretty ugly tonight. No cohesion. No offensive flow, other than it being offensive. - Andrew Bogut is not Wilt Chamberlain, though he almost looked like it tonight.- Tommy reminded me of the Tommy of a few years back tonight, getting a little grumpy at the zebras rom time to time. Loved it. - Tony Allen looked lost out there. It's his first game of the season, but still.....- I'm hoping Scal decides to not cut his hair until the Celtics win the Championship The win puts the Celts at 17-4 on the season, tops in the East. They'll hit the road again for a 3-game tip, starting with Washington on Thursday, where they'll look for their 9th straight win.
