Celts Eaten By 'Cats*

Well here's one that you didn't see coming: The Charlotte Bobcats beat the Boston Celtics.

Apparently none of the photographers at the game saw it coming either because the above photo of the Bobcats' Gerald Wallace taking a charge against the Celtics' Rajon Rondo against is the only photograph that I could find showing a Bobcat in a positive light. Seriously. You should see the ones I didn't post.

The Bobcats are 13-21, not terrible but definitely not good. The Celtics were playing without Ray Allen and Glen "Big Baby" Davis, which is apparently all they need to look average. Not a good sign come playoff time, when Ray Allen (most likely) or one of the other two (KG, Paul Pierce) falls.

And the Celts were at home. Coming off their tight win against the Detroit Pistons (looking much like the Pistons who have lost deep in the playoffs every year starting after 2004) on Saturday night, maybe they just didn't get up for the game. Or maybe they are just overrated . . . Oh well. Can't win 'em all.



And on a sidenote, Isiah Thomas, coach of the New York Knicks (but you knew that), was ejected after arguing with a ref on the floor during the Knicks game (loss) to the Houston Rockets. Some reports say he bumped the official prior to being ejected. Good job, Zeke.



* Am I the only one who is still not used to 'Cats referring to an NBA team?
