It had to be a buch of green-jersey wearing doofuses, didn’t it? The Houston Rockets’ 22-game winning streak came to an abrupt end last night at the wrong end of a 20-point game. Boston, led by Kevin Garnett, dunked the crap out of Houston, especially on the offensive boards. All those scrappy plays, those lucky bounces of the ball that went Houston’s way during the win streak, went Boston’s way last night. But cheer up, Houston, if history is any indication, this Boston team of Garnet, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce aren’t going anywhere. Houston tried it two times, and the Lakers tried it once, but the results were always the same: great winning percentage in the regular season, but failure in the playoffs. You don’t win championships by cobbling together aging great players, the way Boston is trying it; you do it with a team that’s played together for years.
