Celtics-Knicks Game (Round 3) Highlight
Both teams play with more subdued, unlike their previous match-up. Watch highlight (NBA TV).
The Celtics' list of injury is piling up, adding Brian Scalabrine to a groin pull, and Glen Davis (twisted knee) joining in soon after.
Good thing is that they can now nurse injury over the All-Star weekend.

Celtics-Spurs Game Highlight
The winning record against the Western teams is still intact. Watch highlight (NBA TV).
Take a look at the defence stats, the Celtics kept the Spurs shooting at 44.3% overall, in which Tim Duncan is 10/20 and Manu Ginobili at 7/15. This is without the presence of Kevin Garnett and Kendrick Perkins.
Their replacement have played a solid game, by being physical defending Duncan and to avoid getting into foul trouble. In particular, Glen Davis has 8 rebounds (he also contributes 9 points and 3 steals). But it is his intangible play that is significant (read Steve Weinman's article). Tony Allen comes off the bench to help harass Ginobili into six turnovers.

Doc Rivers' strategy of running game works very well, relying on young legs helped the Celtics to take 18 fast-break points. Rondo has 12 rebounds and 11 assists (only 1 turnover).
"We could not win this game if the pace slowed down at all," Rivers said. "We're not going to win a half-court game against the Spurs because we didn't have a post presence."

Celtics-Pistons Game (Round 2) Highlights
The game is played at Auburn Hills (ESPN, NBA TV).
Both teams have played the night before, so it evens thing out in terms of fatigue factor.
Introducing Glen "Big Baby" Davis (NBA TV). The Pistons have done their best to defend the Big Threes, and they have left the rookie open on several plays and paying the prize. On the other hand, both Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton have uncharacteristic missed free-flows towards the end.
Rajon Rondo continues to struggle against Billups, which prompts Doc Rivers to play Tony Allen instead for 22 minutes.
