Great article, but another reminder why you don't go to school in the middle of nowhere in New York (Skidmore).

You're right about Rasheed Wallace being the one bright spot last night. I was sitting in the Garden and was pleading with the Celtics to take Rasheed out when he came in at first, but he actually moved up and down the floor and was a pleasant surprise. Maybe he heard I was in the building and didn't want me to put him down finally but if Rasheed continues to play at that level and better, he could be a nice guy off the bench down the stretch.

It was a good game, but I kind of expected to see the 110% effort Celtics of two years ago. Yes they played as close to 48 minutes since Christmas, but two years ago they would have saw the Wizards game as a wake up call and would have tried to demolish the Bucks and I didn't see that last night.

Hopefully tonight is a win against Memphis at home. Finally a return to the garden for me.
