Great Start For "Big Three II"

Well, it's just two games. But, the early returns on "Big Three II-The Next Generation" are pretty encouraging. First, the Green dispatched the Washington Wizards and Gilbert "The Mouth That Bored" Arenas. Then, on Sunday, they traveled up to America Lite and whipped the Raptors 98-95 in OT. The final nail in the coffin this time came via a corner three by Ray Allen.

But, again, Kevin Garnett soared with 23 points (10 in OT) to go along with 13 boards in what is shaping up to be one continuous Double-Double. Oh, and the screen off which the Allen winner was sunk was set by Mr. Garnett.

Our original All-Star (Paul Pierce) chipped in with 13 points and 6 assists, while the almost forgotten James Posey netted 11. This is balance, my friends. Unselfish balance. The watchword of Red.

This could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship, Boston.
