We have now beaten all 6 division champions this season.

Big time win. BG didn't have a good game, but the rest of our guys stepped up with a solid performance, especially big Mo with the huge 3s. Foye played playmaker out there with 12 assists, and DJ was dunking all night long out there and ends up with 21 on 9-10 shooting.

yay win!

Great win. I went out for a little bit but I was still watching the game. I knew the Celtics would come back, but we were able to hold them off. Great win and that's four in a row for us. I'm hoping that we make it 5 in a row against the Nets.

They may be without Deron who was said to be out a couple games. They did beat GSW without him tonight though.

Cavs fan here, good win for you guys...I see Mo is playing well again...How do you guys like him thus far? He absolutely thrives as a second or third option, it was kinda painful watching him try and carry the Cavs this season, but with BG demanding so many double teams and with EJ on the wings, I can see Mo getting open A LOT and he is lethal when left wide open. He also seemed to move the ball better after his short stint with Byron Scott (great assist numbers)... anywho, cheers! great victory!

What's up with all these early games. I don't even get home until 7pm from work.

[Det the Threat]

Wow, 4 in a row and a win at Boston.

And all of that without EJ and with Blake having a bad game.
Really like the other guys stepping it up and DJ owning them inside.

Now let's try to make it five in a row.

Celtics impressed by Blake Griffin

"He's just going to keep getting better," Rivers said. "And, by the way, just from the All-Star weekend I was actually more impressed with him, forget the basketball part. He seems like a solid kid. For us coaches, whenever you see that, it's real nice."

Rivers was asked if Griffin's athleticism outshined his skill set.

"Yeah, but it would with anyone," he said. "I think if Ray [Allen] was that athletic you wouldn't talk about his shooting as much. He's that athletic. It's amazing."

Speaking of Allen, he too had a few things to say about Griffin.

"He's definitely proven himself to be a man amongst boys," Allen said. "I think a lot of people thought that he was injured, he wouldn't be as good as he would otherwise. He came out this year and showed a lot of people he can be one of the best players, if not the best player in the future, in the NBA."

DeAndre Jordan ties up loose ends as Clippers beat Boston, 108-103

"Rondo was telling me to tie my shoe: 'Tie your shoe. Tie your shoe.' I was saying to myself, 'Don't look down. Don't look down,' " Jordan said, grinning.

He was trying so hard not to stress. His new teammate, point guard Mo Williams, told him not to rush getting to the line and his best friend on the team, running mate Blake Griffin, assured him he would knock both of them down.

That he did.

On a personal level, Williams has made it his mission to help Jordan.

"That's my guy," Williams said. "That's my project, I've got to make sure he's involved in the game because he gives us so much when he's involved in the game. When he's not, it shows. The main thing is to get him involved in the game early and he's going to give you a lot."

"I talked to him and let him know I'm going to get it together," Williams said, smiling. "I'm glad it happened the next game and he can believe me now when I talk.

"He played great, man. He's so special as far as his attributes at his position. Teams don't want to see him."

Really like him. It's nice to have a consistent PG who isn't afraid to take and make clutch shots, which he has done every game. With Blake and Kaman getting doubled, Mo is left open quite a bit. And once Gordon is healthy, watch out.

What a nice surprise it was this morning to see that we have beaten the Celtics. Looks like Mo and DJ had big games. I have the game on my computer and will watch it tomorrow.

5 in a row wouldn't be bad at all
