I often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics after playing the Celtics. Here's a dose of 'enemy chatter' from Washington.
"We beat ourselves by getting them energized, which got their crowd energized," Saunders said. "Dray is wolfing the whole time at Kevin Garnett. You can't do those kinds of things. When you're coming up and establishing yourself, you don't take a guy that's been defensive player of the year and is probably the best power forward and get that guy juiced up to play against you. You got no chance."

As I watched the Celtics make their 4th quarter run, I did not think of the Blatche-Garnett exchange as a tipping point. It seemed like such a minor incident.
And it's not like KG took over the game. He was 2-4 FTs with 2 rebounds during the final 5 minutes of the quarter.
