One Hundred Shots Heard Round The Garden

The Charlotte Bobcats (a team named after a small snow removal device) nearly beat your Celtics at the Gaaden on Wednesday night by taking 100--that's right--100 shots. We're not even going to talk about how the North Carolinians dominated the Green on turnover points (35-5), or the fact that Boston blew numerous double-digit leads. Let's just say they were WICKED LUCKY to pull out a victory.

The 109-106 shaky win was the result of another MVP performance by Paul Pierce (31 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds--and some want to trade this guy?), and another complementary effort by the suddenly 'Character Guy' Ricky Davis (23 points).

Future star Orien Greene layed in the game winner with under a minute to play, as the Celts stayed teasingly just good enough to keep us all from counting down the days to Spring Training (44).
