Deep Sixing The Drought

The Celtics ended their dismal six-game win drought with a convincing 115-83 drubbing of the Trail Blazers.

Captain Paul Pierce looked like the 5-time All-Star he is with 35 points (20 in the pivotal 3rd Quarter) and new acquisition Wally Szczerbiak added 21 in the win. Notable also was Raef LaFrentz who scored 18. The Celtics held the worst offensive unit in the NBA to only 19 points in the 3rd frame.

So, is this the quality of play we can expect from ther re-tooled C's, or was this just a happy clash with an even more abysmal team? I've given up trying to predict how this bunch of Celtics will respond on any given night. Maybe Ainge knows. Let's hope so.
