MVP of the game: I give it to Young. His effort when the game was tight in the fourth quarter was really impressive. Had that monumental steal and then drew a charge. Lots of guys playing well though. With the usual exception of Bogdanovic, whose confidence is totally shot.
Bargnani was a thing of beauty in this one. Larkin has been doing ok lately, playing with confidence. Hopefully that chemistry with Bargnani is here to stay, because more often than not, what happens is some rushed play, moving screens, etc. Bargnani was really in a nice rhythm.
What am I saying? As long as he doesn't up his intensity on defense, it's tough to rely on him. For all his work, extending the lead... he only got a +/- of +1. 
RHJ is really impressive. He had like 4 steals in the first 6 minutes of the game and he was looking to poke the ball from behind all over the place. But yeah, he's going to have to work on a jump shot, otherwise it's a big liability. To his credit, he seems to have nice hands and be able to pass the ball well, but there were occasions where he was totally open and he didn't know what to do. Maybe his energy his contagious? The Nets certainly have played with a lot more force than expected and seem to feed of his activity.
With how well most guys did, the game shouldn't have been that close. Avery Bradley in the last 5 games: 20 pts, 50%fg, 53%3ptfg/6.2 attempts). That's the sophisticated Celtics offense. Thomas. Bradley. And for all the sucking up to their coach, it was ironic that they fouled RHJ on the inbound play and he nailed both at a crucial time stopping their momentum.
P.S: it's hilarious hearing/reading the Celtics announcers/fans whining about the refs. It was the EXACT same thing in their loss to the Mavs recently. Every game it's a conspiracy against them.
