What to make of the Celtics? For one, Rajon Rondo is becoming the best point guard in the league before our eyes, regardless of the fact that he can’t shoot long range or make free throws. Paul Pierce is aging like fine wine, as he dropped 27 points for the Celtics tonight. And if you watched the game, you had to be extremely impressed with Kevin Garnett, who knocked down shot after shot from mid-range. The Celtics are about to move into 4th place in the Eastern Conference, and may be the hottest team in the NBA right now. Defeating the Heat in Miami is no small accomplishment, and although they won the previous matchup with defense, they won this game with an offensive explosion. I’m not sure what kind of push the Celtics can make in the playoffs, but I certainly wouldn’t want to play them.

Wheels down in Boston, Celts day ends with this: A win tonight against Atlanta puts them in home court position for the first time all year.
