A last second loss, on the road, to one of the best team in the east is no reason for Boston to panic. But it did serve as a reminder! They’re not young, or quick to react. And even with ‘K.G.’ back, terribly athletic. Then again, the freakiest athlete in the building did do that! Dwight Howard passing to nobody! “Oh-oh!” You know Magic coach Stan Van Gundy snapped when he saw that!

And the only thing more inexplicable than that pass was Vince Carter breaking out that undershirt. ‘V’, Khalid El-Amin called, and he wants his shirt back. Thought I’d shout out to you, ‘K’…it’s been awhile. So does Patrick Ewing! I know the Magic broke out the early 90’s “uni’s”, but why was ‘V.C.’ the only one who accessorized them? Why not just lace up some pump-kicks, compression shorts and rec-specs while you’re at it?!

But it wasn’t all about bad passes and bad gear. There was some bad blood too! Paul Pierce and Matt Barnes went dome-to-dome under the basket. You know, the old “let’s get as close as we can and make it look like we’ll go when there’s zero percent chance of that ever happening”. The Celtics probably don’t want their potential hall of famer in the middle of that. Just as I know they really don’t want their other hall of famer, getting dusted in the final seconds either.

But that’s what happened when someone nailed Kevin Garnett’s feet to the floor and Rashard Lewis blew right by him for the winning bucket. Either ‘K.G.’s’ still not right, or he ripped Ron Artest’s concrete boots, because that doesn’t happen, to that guy. Or at least it shouldn’t!

I don’t care how many times he pounds himself in the chest, or screams “Michael Foxtrot”…you can’t pump yourself up enough to get over a bad stick. Back to the ice tubs, ‘Ticket’. No way a team this old and banged up can survive two long playoff series this year.
