The Magnificent Seven

If Paul Pierce remains out for the two weeks plus that is currently indicated, we may see a few more of these games—with 7 different C's in double figures on the way to a 128-119 drubbing of the Grizzlies.

In the roundball version of Tom Brady "spreading the ball to multiple receivers", the Celtics got quality point production from Wally Szczerbiak (26), Tony Allen (20), Ryan Gomes (16), Brian Scalabrine (16) Delonte West (16), Al Jefferson (12) and Kendrick Perkins (10).

For the casual Celtics fans who may be reading this, the photo above is of one Brian Scalabrine, an actual member of the squad who will not have his number raised to the rafters at the Garden--just so you know. Anyway, try to get through this Paul-Less Period with your Celtic pride intact.
