You Only A Customer:
Hedu Turkoglu was only a customer in the presence of Paul Pierce who was a step ahead all night ... Pierce led his team with 27 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Pierces menu included serving Hedu with a sick 3 point play with under a minute to play in the 3rd quarter to put the Celtics up 11 points.

The Blueprint:
Kevin Garnett scored 16 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. Modest numbers at best for the future Hall of Famer but K.G.'s impact goes well beyond numbers. His infectious intensity is a mainstay for anyone in a green and white uniform and when that aggression runs 8 players deep other teams have no chance. K.G. is indeed the blueprint for championship success.

Meet The Parents:
K.G. is in his early 30's and Big Baby Glen Davis is in his early 20's but the relationship they share is like that of a father and son. K.G. must have been like a proud dad watching his kid grow up right before his eyes. Davis scored 12 of his season high 16 points in the 4th quarter as he and the rest of his Celtics crushed any Magic hope of a rally.

Dirt Off Your Shoulder:
The Celtics started off an NBA record 27-2 through there first 29 games then lost 7 of 9. There were whispers of age, bench weakness and the fact that the Lakers, Cavs and Magic were all hungrier and even more talented. The Champs have been feeling good lately and have brushed away their last 5 opponents and won 7 straight games regaining their strut as the games best team.

Dominant in Defeat
R. Lewis, Orlando - 20 pts, 10 rebs (9 offensive) and 2 stls.

Stu Parker	wow. after reading this blog....You are spot on. I do not deny Kevin Garnett's ability as a player but HATE the BS stuff he does...All negative crap.
	This is a very unfair article. Garnett is an Olympic Gold Medalist, an MVP, an ALL STAR MVP, an ALL NBA member and an NBA Champion... you know how many current players can say that? 2 others (Shaq & Kobe) and they are all considered among the best players at their respected positions in the HISTORY of basketball. The same should be said for K.G.

Ra	This is blasphemy. I hope a Celtics fan did not write this article.
KWAPT	How old is that clip of KG? C'mon..of course that was a punk move, but what was that, 10 years ago? It's simple: KG is a fierce competitor who uses intimiadation and mental toughness to strike fear in the heart of his opponents. If he is on your team, you LOVE him. If he is not, you may loathe him. But either way, he is a great player. You cannot deny that.
Alex	Wow, now we are going to call an Olympic Gold Medalist, an MVP, an ALL STAR MVP, an ALL NBA member, an NBA Champion, a player that has more 20-10-5 seasons than Larry Bird, Defender of the Year (2008 and most likely, this year) overrated? Hmm, right now I'm kind of smelling a bit of jealousy mixed with stupidity in this article.
Tweedster	This blog is poorly written, scattered and incoherent. Thankfully, someone else already tackled the inconsistencies and leaps of logic. Check it out hear: http://celticshub.com/2009/10/22/did-you-hear-kg-is-overrated/
Tweedster	Some actual statistics, and not just conjecture and strange conclusions based on the number of 'chips KG has. http://www.celticstown.com/is-kevin-garnett-clutch.html
SP	ron campbell must love the Lakers. Or the Cav's. Or the Magic. but he doesn't know @$@@ about basketball!
Ed The Sports Fan	I'm sorry, there's no way in life Allen Iverson isn't in the starting 5, especially ahead of Nash. Give a damn about MVP's, Iverson's done more with much much MUCH less and totally revolutionized the game. Other than that, I think your decade team is cool. -Ed.
Lebron is the King	The way you analyzed your stats is flawed. If your saying Bird is better because he hits more 3 pointers, scores more, and passes more, your wrong. Bird had exceptional teammates which explains some assists. Now Bird was a great 3 point shooter and you said Duncan was a "center playing a power forward". Now if he does this, why would you bash it? All it shows is how versatile Duncan is in his position on the court. Duncan although not a flashy player, showed dominance under the goal. Duncan didnt need to pass because he could school anyone under the goal. Duncan is better because he has more rings. End of story. And to your comment on "We will never see another Larry Bird." Well we see a better one now, he goes by Ray Ray.
