I know most of you won't care what anyone thinks, but i just want to say i'm now a firm BELIEVER IN THE CELTICS AMAZING D.

I was too stupid before and didnt believe it, I thought it had it's weaknesses, it was overrated, over hyped, I didnt want to believe it but that was indeed wishful thinking.

I've watched this team all season, but what happened tonight, and even the night before when kg and pierce struggled YET they were right there, the D has been fantastic.

It's so good and really earned it's reputation.

Props!

I'm here to ear crow guys...make me eat crow!!

Naah. I'll just thank you for your kind words.

But yeah -- it's pretty amazing. And they did it without even having Rondo and Perkins out there for much of the half.

I don't think the defense was even that bad in the first half. The Lakers just did amazingly well in transition, helped by the Cs' offensive woes.
