A great week of basketball fell just a quarter short of perfection last nite in New Orleans. For the longest time it looked like the Celtics would sweep a five game road trip for the first time since one of Tommy’s teams did it back in the early 70’s. However a flurry of uncharacteristic turnovers enabled Chris Paul to salvage an otherwise un-MVP like game and stop the road winning streak at 8. But even a defeat cannot change the fact that the Celtics are exactly where they want to be with three weeks or so left in the season. The defense is fierce, the offense is efficient, and the chemistry is as good as it has been at any time this year. Sure it would be better if the playoffs started next week, but let’s just savor the games that are left, enjoy the eye popping development of Rondo, and make plans for a spring and early summer of basketball. Something we haven’t had in a long time.

   I like the end of season schedule. We should be able to take care of a number of those teams early so we can rest the starters before the playoffs.

   Who will earn the chance to lose to us in the first round? Atlanta? New Jersey? Indy?
