Relax Rook, Relax

The last thing I want to comment on before I go stew in my anger is Al Horford. Rookie needs to get slapped up. If you didn't watch the game, with just around a minute left Pierce was guarding Horford while Atlanta was just running down the clock. I didn't see how it happened, but Pierce slipped (tripped?) and fell around the 3-point line. Horford, now wide open, got the ball and knocked down the open jumper. On his way back down the court, he began pointing and screaming at Pierce, who was rising to his feet. First off, that should've been a technical, but keeping with their sub-par standards, the Ref's let it go. However, Pierce got to his feet, a look of absolute anger on his face, and began to follow Horford down the court. Luckily, our dear friend Brian Scalabrine (decked out in a nice suit tonight) ran down and pulled Pierce back to the Celtics bench. That was the end of that altercation.
But there are 2 things any Celtics fan knows about Paul Pierce that Horford may not be aware of. First, the man is crazy. Second, you don't want to piss him off... but that's exactly what Horford just did. I absolutely expect Pierce to go off for 40 points on Monday. Whatever Paul does, we need to take back control of this series, let the Hawks know what Playoff basketball is all about, and get back to playing the brand of basketball that we expect.
