Finally we can watch the most successful franchise in Boston's history led by the best coach in Boston Doc Rivers vs the lowly Bobcats led by the worst GM in basketball Michael Jordan.

This is also an awesome game because Paul Pierce is surely going to break Larry Birds record for points in a Celtics uniform. Think about that for a second? Not only has Paul Pierce cemented himself in Celtics hierarchy forever already he is about to pass one of the biggest legends in Boston in Larry Bird. That's pretty impressive. Pierce just won the player of the month for January so I expect him to do great things against Gerald Henderson or Tyrus Thomas.
The Celtics have been really clicking lately and have gone 7-1 in the last 8 and with a healthy Rondo they should have no problem beating the 3-21 Bobcats. Normally in past years the Bobcats have given the Celtics a tough game, but since they are so bad I expect this to be a blow out. One of the better things that may have happened to this team is that Avery Bradley was such a defensive stopper in Rondo's absence, that it has motivated Rondo to be more of a nuisance on that end of the court.
KG has gone 3-3 from 3 in the last 3 games, I don't know if that it's a good thing, but lets see how long this streak goes.
