The WrapUp

The NBA playoffs are off and running with some great games thus far.  The one that surprised me most was Chicago @ Boston.  Not only was I shocked that the Bulls won, but I couldn’t believe a defensive minded team let a rookie score nearly 40 points.  It’s pretty obvious to me that without KG, Boston is in big trouble.  Their defense will always be worse without Garnett in the middle as he is a tremendous player and leader.  This leads me to think back to last season and want to give KG all the credit for making the Celtics champions.  Someone else better step up soon to set the tone on defense before they get bounced in the first round.
