Alright, welcome to the party. Sorry I’m a little late to the show, I couldn’t find the channel and didn’t get here until 5:30 left in the first quarter. No worries though, the C’s are up 13-8 and Perk just picked up his first foul.

C’s rocking the gold and green. Ugh. The black and green is so much more bad ass.

Alright a three from Houston and it’s 13-11, no worries the Celts will go back up four on this trip down the court or miss the shot and the Rockets can run it back the other way. Another Boston foul on you guessed it Perk. Way to fuck up the rotation with early foul trouble. Dick.

4:34 1st quarter- Game tied at 13. Thank God I tuned it to watch the C’s give up the lead.

2:55 1st quarter – PJ Brown with 3 rebounds already since replacing Perk. Will Perk ever learn to not use all his fouls in the first quarter?

1:53 1st quarter – I love TNT and the long commercial breaks. C’s up one 17-16 and Mutumbo has another block. This guy is the ageless wonder. He’s what 42? 45? Who knows with the forged African birth certificate.

Back from commercial, Leon makes it 19-16. Why is this guy so underrated? Leon Powe is seams to get a double/double every time he gets minutes. Which is a lot because Perk’s continual foul problems.

Welcome in Delonte Cassell with about 30 seconds left in the quarter who proceeds to turn the ball over and the C’s end the 1st quarter down 22-21.

While we’re here at TNT I’ll let it be known for all that are interested (or not) that I don’t watch Tyler Perry’s House Of Payne and as much as you cram it down my throat at EVERY commercial break, I’m still not going to watch.

Welcome back for the 2nd quarter. Let’s make sure we get a man on the perimeter defensively and contest the 3’s that Houston loves to rain down.

11:26 2nd quarter – What the fuck did I just say? Contest the shot assholes!! Houston 24-21

9:46 2nd quarter – Tommy Point for Pierce diving on the floor for the loose ball. C’s still down 26-23. Pierce wins the tip to the Rockets who score uncontested again, proceed to steal the ball from the Celts and go up 7 30-23.

Hey Doc, I’m no head coach, but a time-out here would probably sway the momentum a little bit. Cassell looks lost in the offense. Maybe it’s the lack of practice the announcers keep talking about.

Another TV time-out. Nice that the C’s are down 7 with T-Mac on the bench. I guess we can take solace in the fact that KG is on the pine as well.

7:20 2nd quarter – OK, so now the C’s keep missing shots and turn the ball over, again. What the fuck? T-Mac in the game. The C’s have Posey, Powe, Tony Allen, Cassell and House on the floor. That’s a Championship line-up.

KG back in the game.

6:12 2nd quarter – C’s drain a three to cut the deficit to five. This is going to be a late night.

I do love them dishing to Leon under the basket. We need someone to step it up especially when the other team is hitting 52% from the field.

Another Tyler Perry commercial. Someone shoot me. It’s almost as bad as John Mellancamp and Chevy. Scratch that. Nothing is that bad.

5:30 2nd quarter – Leon has 11. Keep dishing to him.

Another commercial break, we made it without a Tyler Perry commercial. Oh, TNT snuck it in as we come back to Houston. Stop It!!

2:16 2nd quarter – Leon slams it home for his 13th point and the C’s are down only three, it was eight.

1:28 2nd quarter – Steal by Pierce and the C’s keep it at 3. It’s amazing how much better a defensive unit the C’s are with Garnett in the game. C’s force a 24 second violation on the Rockets

0:30 2nd quarter -Tie game off a Pierce 3 off the back board. Pierce then proceeds to steal the ball and get fouled.

Doc rallies the troops and draws up a play for the last 2.2 seconds. What a stupid play. Throw it over the backboard? Game tied at 40 going into the half. KG gets hit in the head by some white nobody from the Rockets and Doc tells him to chill out and get in the locker room.

Oooh, A Tyler Perry movie! Because I’ve seen all the others. Enough already. And while we’re on the subject of enough, what’s with Brady Quinn on my TV so much. An EAS commercial followed by Subway? This guy is a backup quarterback that went late in the 1st round last year and he’s on my TV more than Tom Brady. Based on the Quinn logic, I should see Matt Cassell in commercials soon.

Back to the action and the C’s going up five early to start the 3rd quarter. It’s apparent that when Mutumbo hits the bench Houston really sucks on the post.

Bullshit goaltending call on the Celts. C’s still up 5. Let’s leave the Cletics game and make me watch a Kobe Bryant interview and the end of the Dallas game.

Dear TNT, Fuck you!

Back to the C’s and the team is up seven. Eight after a technical foul on the Rockets. Right in time for another commercial. (see above note to TNT)

Back to the action and another Perkins’ foul. It’s like a script. Perk comes in the game, Perk gets foul. C’s up 54-45.

6:40 3rd quarter – Rondo hits his 3rd shot in a row and the C’s are up 11. I blinked and it’s 13.

3:18 3rd quarter – This Scola guy (#4 in your program) on the Rockets is a goon. I just don’t like him. He commits a flagrant (questionable) foul on Tony Allen who goes down like a sack of potatoes and is clutching his back. Tony hits both and the C’s are up 64-52. Allen leaves the game.

For reference sake, I hate thundersticks too. Wicked irritating. I thought so when the Angels won their World Series a few years ago and still think it. Sorry your fans can’t make any noise like Boston fans can.

Let’s all get together tomorrow night for Tyler Perry’s House of Payne. 9PM on TNT. I can’t wait. What?

2:24 3rd quarter – Another turnover by the Rockets. Love seeing the “D” step it up this quarter. Scola gets his 4th foul and is really gooning it up (It’s a hockey term. Look it up)

1:36 3rd quarter – Another turnover. This is great! And another Houston foul. Pierce to the line hits two and the C’s are up 68-54.

End of the 3rd quarter and the Celtics are up 16, 72-56. Powe hits another bucket at the buzzer for his 15th point. Um, we Love Leon!

11:24 4th quarter – Leon is running wild and gets fouled underneath. Leon to the line hits one of two. 73-56 C’s.

9:56 4th quarter – Leon from the field knocks it down for his 18 point 77-56 Celtics.

Going into the game I said yesterday that the Rockets wouldn’t have an answer for KG. Well apparently I was wrong. They don’t have an answer for Leon. He’s playing like a man possessed.

8:45 4th quarter – Tommy point for the Big Baby. Diving to grab the rebound and knocking his elbows around.

You have to give the Houston crowd some props. The team is down 21 in the fourth quarter with a little over seven minutes left in the game and the fans are as loud as they were when I first tuned in.

TV break with 5:56 left in the fourth, Celtics still up 21. No Tyler Perry commercial. I’m shocked.

4:33 4th quarter – The Rockets have pulled their starters down 83-64. KG still in there for the C’s. I hope he has gas on Thursday when the team goes into Dallas. Good news on that game, since acquiring Jason Kidd Dallas hasn’t beaten a team over .500. Plays pretty well for a team that’s the best in the league.

2:06 4th quarter – KG SLAMS it home for his 20th 89-64. Then slams it down again for his 22nd 91-64.

Doc has the team commit a foul just to get Garnett out of the game.

Another commercial break. The Barkley T-Mobile commercials with D-Wade = Funny. These Tyler Perry commercials = annoying. Just had to watch another. Maybe I should have just DVR’d the game and done my recap in the AM. After yesterday’s win I didn’t want to miss all the action.

Great news, the Dallas/C’s game on Thursday will be on TBS. Another night of Tyler Perry commercials. I can’t wait!

C’s wrap it up with a pleasing 94-74 win. Tony Allen never came back meaning I hope Ray Allen is around on Thursday night. Dallas has big men that the Rockets lacked so it should be a very good game.

For reference sake I have a whole new respect for our boy Bill Simmons after doing a running diary. First off this is the longest column I’ve written since starting my blog. Second of all, I’m fucking tired.

The bottom line is the C’s won their third straight, snapped the Rockets streak, guaranteed a winning record for the trip but more importantly showed on a national broadcast that they’re the shit. They also helped solidify the nations hatred of all things Boston Sports. Life is good.
