(Early) Saturday Morning Thoughts...

1. If we're the Celtics, we're not that worried about having to bang heads with Cleveland in the playoffs. Boston was in control of last night's game from start to finish -- minus Kevin Garnett, of course. They successfully doubled and trapped LeBron all night, to the tune of 5-15 shooting. And they were only too happy to let newly acquired Joe Smith hoist jumpers and dent the rim. Memo to Cavs: When mortals like Big Baby and Leon Pow, errrrr, Powe hurt you, you've got problems.

2. Enough with the Brian Scalabrine is injured and it's hurting the Celtics talk. Puh-lease! Scal sucks. Scal sucks Big Time. However, because he's white, goofy, willing to abuse his body, and always ready with a clever quote, some losers people actually think he is pretty good. If fact, he is not.

3. And leave Rajon Rondo alone. The third year Louisville native has turned himself into a damn good point guard this year. But, as Stef Djordjevic famously screamed at Coach Nickerson in All the Right Moves, "You are not God!" He's a great penetrator, rebounder and passer. But he can't shoot and he gets locked up in the post on D. What he is right now is one of the top five or six point guards in the league. But some people this week actually said he is a future Hall of Famer. Um...not so fast. And let's see how he does when he doesn't have KG, Fat Boy Pee Pee or Ray Allen to pass to on the wings. Oh yes, and we can't wait to see how much coin it will cost Danny Ainge to keep him.

4. Chan Ho Park was tough yesterday for the Phillies. He went 4 innings, striking out 3 and yielding just 1 run. He figures to take the fifth spot in the rotation from Kyle Kendrick, who has basically turned into a pu$$y.

5. Finally, if we find the person who's in possession of our beloved camera, we're gonna kick the sheeeet out of him/her. Of course, if we find it in our house beneath a pile of junk, all is forgiven!
