Some Thoughts on the Celtics and Patriots

The Celtics beat the 76ers by 10 tonight.  C's didn't play well through three and then turned it on in the fourth, thanks to some nice shooting by Posey and House.  For three quarters the defensive rotations were slow and the team has gotten away from the nice passing they showed over the first five games or so.  Although we finished with 22 assists that is misleading as many were off dribble drives and not from moving the ball well.  Come the fourth both the defense and offense improved significantly.  However, playing one of the worst teams in the league, and coming of three days rest, we should have put this team away quickly.

As for the Pats, as Napoleon said, "Give me a man who's lucky."
