I'm a day late on this one, but the Celtics improved to 26-3 on the season on Sunday night by beating the 1980's Lakers (understandably, since they were without Kareem and Magic). The Boston Three Party (taken from Scott Van Pelt) combined for 74 points, Pierce leading the way with 33. Those who were reserving judgment on Boston for when they went out west now have evidence in the trip that just ended with a 4-0 record in a five day span in Sacramento, Seattle, Utah, and Los Angeles. It's no trip to San Antonio, Dallas or Phoenix, but it's still pretty solid evidence that this team should be on the short list of title contenders for this year.
With their next two games coming at home against Houston, without Tracy McGrady, and Memphis, it could get to 28-3. Of course, both games are mere tune-ups for another meeting with their top rivals in the East next Saturday. Considering the Pistons just won a game by 45, that could be a tough one to win.
