Comeback? We ARE Back!

If you had any doubt that this edition of your Boston Celtics was for real, it's now official in the wake of their 93-91 come from way behind win against the San Antonio Spurs. People, the Celtics are 40 games over .500 now. In the recent past, 40 total wins would have been a successful season. Holy Jungle Jim Luscutoff!

Newcomer Sam Cassell was the highlight reel champion with a clutch 3-pointer to put the C's up in the 4th Quarter, but this was a purely Red-like team effort. Paul Pierce got 22 points, Rajon Rondo (increasingly the point guard of the present) got 20, and the aforementioned Cassell had 17. Oh, and that Garnett guy, he netted 21 with 8 boards.

This is the part of the C's schedule that critics said would test their mettle—facing the iron of the NBA as they approach the Playoff Holy Land. "Playoffs?" You betcha!
