One would have to feel better about the state of the second unit and what they bring to the table, but will this be enough? At last week’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Celtics had an extended run with Jeff Green, Troy Murphy, Carlos Arroyo, Nenad Krstic and Sasha Pavlovic as they looked to erase a 20 point deficit to the lowly Clippers. All five on the floor where either on other teams or watching the NBA from their sofa a few weeks earlier. The Celtics need to get these players plenty of opportunities for minutes down the stretch as they are a KG turned ankle away from being a starter expected to put up big numbers.

What do you think?

KG stood out this week and was the player most deserving of the Hardwood Houdini award. During the week, the Celtics went 3-0 by blowing out both Charlotte and OKC, while defeating the Spurs in a game that turned into a battle going down the stretch. Garnett showed that he can be consistent, and was not a one hit wonder. With that, he got the Player of The Week honor, and is the first player in the very early stages of the award, to win it in back to back weeks.
