I was wrong.
With the 4th Quarter beginning I turned to a few of my esteemed colleagues who were with me at The Garden and I said, “I don’t like this lineup for the Celtics to start the 4th.” The lineup consisted of Nate Robinson, Tony Allen, Ray Allen, Glen Davis and Rasheed Wallace.  Woops, I’ll take a mulligan on that one.
This unit turned the tide of the game and maybe the series as the Celtics tied up the NBA Finals at 2-2.  Down 62-60 to start the quarter, the Celts jumped on the Lakers with a 10-2 run to go up 72-64.  The heart and hustle of this unit was unbelievable.  Big Baby was in his words after the game, “a beast.”  He poured in 18 points, 9 coming in the 4th.  Robinson is instant offense scoring 12 points but he also played strong defense and made a great steal and called a timeout before he could be tied up for a jump ball.  Tony Allen played ferocious defense on Kobe Bryant and even chipped in some gritty offense.  And Rasheed Wallace nailed a 3 that caused The Garden roof to almost blow off.

The All Star Break is almost here and no team in the NBA could use the break as much as the Celtics.  Injuries and a slump since Christmas are reason enough for Celtics fans to be thankful the break is finally here.  Boston has gone 9-13 since a win over the Orlando Magic on Christmas gave them a 23-5 record.  Instead of using that game as a springboard they have gone backwards.
Injuries have been a part of it as Kevin Garnett, Rasheed Wallace, Paul Pierce, Marquis Daniels, and Ray Allen have all missed games due to injury during this stretch.  But even when the team has had most of its main parts, they just haven’t been consistent.  The rock solid defense of the 2008 championship team hasn’t been there.  The Celtics also have been running out of gas at the end of games.  In recent games against some of the best teams in the league the Celtics have built up double digit leads only to see them slip away in the 4th Quarter.
So what’s the solution?  There have been trade rumors floating around.  The Celtics that have been put on the trading block seem to [...]
