Tel-FAIR? Tel-WICKED GOOD!

Sebastian Telfair sent a vibrant message to his former team--"You made a mistake". The new C's point guard poured in 15 points and dished out 7 assists in Boston's 118-90 thumping of the Portland Trailblazers.

The Celtics have now won two straight after a hideous 1-6 start, and have registered back-to-back blow-outs.

Paul Pierce poured in 29 and Wally Szczerbiak added 19 as the new "run and gun" Celtics rested the entire starting squad in the 4th Quarter. And guess what? The kids outscored Portland anyway in the frame, 41-25. Hey, maybe 35 wins are within reach.
