the rise of the Boston Celtics is easily the story of the year so far in the NBA. from the boogah basement of the oh-so-soft east, Boston has risen to an NBA-best 20 wins so far this season with the arrival of Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. with Paul Pierce rounding out the Boston Three Party, the Celtics have believers whispering NBA finals, but as my uncle always says, "if you wanna BE the man, you gotta BEAT the man..." and the Man in the east has been the Detroit Pistons, who have fought for the eastern conference title for each of the last five seasons. yesterday the unstoppable force and the immovable object collided, and when the smoke cleared, The Pistons walked away confident that they were still the team to beat in the East.while i don't totally dismiss the Celtics 20-3 record, my people keep reminding me they have yet to go out west, where the team's rep will really get made. it would have helped the case of the Boston faithful to knock off these Pistons, the only contending team the Celtics have faced so far. even a cursory glance at the standings reminds us that the east is still weaker than the west, so if Garnett 'nem want respect, they'll wanna do big things on that upcoming western road trip!
holla!
