Rudy Gay

The Celtics squeaked out a win against the Grizzlies on Friday. Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce had 23 each but Ray Allen had two foul shots that came in the last seconds of the game.

For Celtics fans, that is worrisome. Allen has proven that he is an elite scorer through out his career and the new Celtics are preaching "harmony", but this can't continue. Pierce leads the team in field goal attempts almost every game. Has he taken it for the team? Doesn't appear so.

Garnett was able to get his 23 on only 10 field goal attempts. Pierce shot a respectable 9 for 17 but Ray Allen needs more touches and field goal attempts to help this team over the long haul.

Tony Allen had another great game scoring 20 in 25 minutes. With every game Tony Allen seems to get better and strengthens a bench that was a major concern to start the season. However, even with the bench providing scoring, rebounds and energy, Ray Allen only scoring 2 and disappearing over the last few games is not a good sign.

Former UConn star Rudy Gay, lost a tooth to a James Posey forearm. Gay has started to show flashes of NBA stardom but a James Posey forearm will send him to the dentist in the next few days.

That bodes well for tonight's game against the Pistons, who stole one from the Celtics on a Chauncy Billups head fake in Boston. Giving the Celtics one of their three losses. Expect a physical, low scoring, NBA playoff type game tonight.
