Herald FL's Take: C's Perkins makes a veteran move
I really like Perk. He says it like it is and we need his toughness. I see a lot of criticism of Perk's game, but he is filling his role on the team and is doing what the team needs of him.
Globe Arenas trashes old view, now praises Celtics
Knicks trounce Pistons
FL's Take: I really enjoyed watching this. The Pistons are a very arrogant team and they needed to be taken down a notch. I have disliked the Pistons since the days of the Bad Boys when Bill Laimbeer practiced his thuggery. But the new version of the Pistons aren't much more likeable. There are 3 teams I just can't like: the Lakers, the Pistons, and the Bulls.
MetroWest Daily News Celtics depth issues exposed by losses
FL's Take: We have known from the beginning of the season that depth at the PG spot would be an issue. We have two spots open and I believe that Danny is weighing options and will bring someone in. Right now, Tony is getting experience he will need to get his confidence back to give the team what they need from him in the post season.

SouthCoast Today Celtics learning to rebound
FL's Take: The rebounding, or lack of it, is concerning. Much of rebounding is effort and desire and we aren't seeing either from the Celtics right now. With all of KG's intensity, he needs to focus it on getting into the paint more.

FL's Take: Hmmmm. Sounds like Pierce has an ego problem. But it isn't as though we didn't already know that.

Gulf Times Celtics in first slump after loss to Wizards
FL's Take: I wouldn't quite call it a slump just yet. They have lost 2 out of 3 but still haven't lost 2 in a row. If they lose tonight, then we can call it a slump.

Fox Sports Has the league figured out Boston?
FL's Take: The league has somewhat figured out the Celtics but it is more a case of the Celtics getting away from what made them so successful early. They are beating themselves more than the other teams beating them. Teams are learning that if they press the Celtics, it takes them out of their game. So far, they haven't adjusted to be able to handle the pressure. But, the Celtics have also gotten away from playing the kind of defense that made them so successful early. They have stopped moving the ball like they did in the beginning. They are also not playing with the energy and hustle that they once did.

Garnett an all time Celtic great?
FL's Take: KG is not an all time Celtic great yet. He is an all time Wolves great, but has not even been a Celtic for half a season and hasn't really done anything here yet. The Celtics need to win a championship or two with him and then we can talk about it.
