I’m so over you, yeah I’m so over you. Yeah I fly over you, cause I’m so over you. -Lil’ Wayne
When I first heard the news about Kendrick Perkins, I was like Doc Rivers. When I first heard the news about Kendrick Perkins, I took it personal, “very personal.” When I first heard the news about Kendrick Perkins, I was like Kevin Garnett: “I felt like I’ve lost a family member.” I also wondered aloud how my beloved Boston Celtics could continue down the road to glory without his presence in the defensive post. I wondered aloud how my beloved Boston Celtics could continue down the road to glory without his presence on the glass. But, as the Good Book says, “And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that ye be not troubled for all these things must come to pass. The end is not near.” No, good people, the end is not near. The sky is not falling. The Boston Celtics will continue down road the road glory! Can I get an Amen?
The Celtics will continue down the road to glory because they still have Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. The Celtics will continue down the road to glory because they still have as a fearsome a foursome as the NBA has to offer. A fearsome foursome that strikes fear in the heart of men. Last night, said fearsome foursome struck fear in the heart of the Phoenix Suns.
In the Celtics’ victory over the Suns last night, Ray Allen struck fear in the heart of men. The Three Point King knocked down four of six shots from beyond the arc. The Three Point King knocked down a grand total of 19 points. Knock knock. Who’s there? Ray Allen bitch! The king is dead. Long live the King!
Without either O’Neal in uniform, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett struck fear on the glass. Without either O’Neal in uniform, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett persevered on the glass. They out and out bombardiered the glass. Paul Pierce grabbed 13 rebounds. Kevin Garnett grabbed 13 rebounds. It was only the third time that Pierce and Garnett each collected more than ten rebounds in a game for the Celtics. But you know what the man says. The man says, “When the gets going tough, the tough get going.”
Rajon Rondo got tough. Tougher than Marshamallow Fluff. Like my main man JFK always says, “Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Celtics.” The torch has been passed to Rajon Rondo. Last night Rondo carried for the torch for 16 big points. Last night Rondo carried for the torch for 15 big assists. Last night Rondo carried for the torch for three big steals. Carrying the Boston Celtics to the Promised Land in his freakishly large hands.
Doc Rivers Rivers now has a tad under two months to get this team in sync. Doc Rivers Rivers now has a tad under two months to get this team used the system, to learn their roles, to get into a groovey groove. Then it’s the post season baby. I say, bring on the Heat. I say, bring on the Bulls. I say, give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses. Because you know, I know and Ben Grimm knows, for the fearsome foursome, playoff time is clobbering time.
Peace out homies. Six two or even!
