Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen have final say to dump Atlanta By Mark Murphy Thursday, December 18, 2008 - Updated 18h ago http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/basketball/celtics/ view.bg?articleid=1139798&srvc=rss 這篇其實對超賽和老鷹的過節問題講的蠻清楚了....事出必有因...... --------------------------------- ATLANTA - Kevin Garnett wanted to make something understood. “This is not a rivalry, and I want that on the record,” he said after the latest night of madness. “You have to win some games first. But they’re a very good team.” If true, the Celtics [team stats] still looked like the most relieved team on the planet after last night’s 88-85 win over Atlanta, extending the Celtics’ win streak to 16 games. Paul Pierce [stats], in a move that infuriated many members of the raucous, screaming crowd, made a slashing motion across his throat while heading to the bench for the last timeout. Perhaps this isn’t a rivalry, but the Celtics captain, criticized for flashing a gang-like B sign at the Atlanta bench during Game 3 of last season’s inflamed first-round playoff series, appears to be at his most emotive in Philips Arena. It’s probably not because he hates the city of Atlanta, either. “Just not tonight,” the Celtics captain said, putting his latest gesture into words. “We weren’t going to lose tonight. It’s a contentious game when you play the Hawks. They’ve been talking about this game for a couple of days now. ” That talk probably isn’t going to stop, considering how close Atlanta, which won all three playoff games here last April, came to ending what is now the third longest win streak in Celtics history. behind only the 1981-82 C’s (18 straight) and the 1959-60 team (17). ↓ PP完全不想輸給老鷹!!!!!!!! 雖然PP早在波士頓雙槍時代就已經以垃圾話聞名，也一向相當自負 不過他的城市情節從以前到現在一直是LA 斗膽推測PP之所以對老鷹要硬上，除了拼連勝，可能還有其他理由...... 因為這傢伙根本連下一場對公牛都不確定是否可以上場..... 重點是兩隊賽前就已經在互嗆了........ (在此我就不得不提一下Al Horford去年對PP的那個動作.....嘖嘖) Their climb up the NBA chart continues as well, now with a 24-2 record that ranks only behind the 1966-67 Sixers and the 1969-70 Knicks (both 26-2) in league history for the best start by a two-loss team. The Celtics to a man claim not to be impressed by the streak. But most will admit that of those 16 games, none matched last night’s for the intensity of the opponent or its crowd. As during their home playoff games, the Hawks once again took it to the Celtics in everything from defense to the offensive glass, where they grabbed 13 offensive boards, including four each from Al Horford and Marvin Williams. It wasn’t until Joe Johnson missed the second of two free throws with 2.7 seconds left, leaving the Hawks behind by a point (86-85), that their run broke. But the Celtics, accustomed to this kind of pressure, once again played their best basketball over the last five minutes during a furious stretch in which the lead changed hands nine times. This included lead changes on six straight possessions in the last 2:35. But Garnett, who scored 10 of his 18 points in the last quarter, and six of those 10 in the last 2:52, decided it was his turn to look rim-ward last night. Still, he needed a little urging. “I told him, ‘You’ve got to take us home,’ ” Rajon Rondo [stats] said of a challenge he laid down for Garnett during a fourth quarter timeout. 軟豆：我告訴KG，帶我們回家吧~~~~~~~~ ---------------------------------------- GO GO CELTICS ~~~~ 連勝不止，冠軍所指！ # --
