CALL ME SNAKE

That inspiring bunch of athletes affectionately known as the Boston Celtics has done it again, beating a red-hot Houston squad (on the road, no less!), 103-92. Once again, Antoine Walker stepped up big, pouring in 18 points, including 3 of 5 from “downtown,” and making some key free throws down the stretch. That’s 6 straight for the C’s and 10 of their last 11 since Walker’s return. If there was ever even a glimmer of a doubt regarding the sagaciousness of the Walker deal, that should now, and forever, be put to rest. Questions about Ainge’s perspicacity, and powers of discernment, should similarly be silenced. As for the most important streak concerning the Celtics, I have now been wrong–STONE COLD DEAD WRONG–for 7 straight days, which in my book makes a week. This is, in all likelihood, a record that will stand the test of time.
