The Best Game of the Year

Hey, it's still April Fool's Day, right? Whatever, this one was alright, I guess. 106-92, 22 points for Ray Allen, 20 for KG, 10 assists for Rondo (to go with 7 turnovers... shhhh!!!). It gets our magic number down to 2, which is exciting because it makes me think of the playoffs. Big Baby's mohawk will surely be a lively topic of discussion over the next few weeks, provided he gets in games: don't look now, but he hasn't played more than 17 minutes since the first week of March, and while that's partly due to the ever-unfolding genius of Leon, there's little denying that Baby has slammed into the rookie wall in a major way, and judging from appearances it may have been a wall of milkshakes and cupcakes. On the bright side, this is the last time we have to watch the study in misery that is the Chicago Bulls this season, so we've got that going for us. That and 59 wins.

Also, Kevin Garnett won the 500th Tommy Award, so that elusive Championship would really just be icing on the cake at this point. Gary Tanguay also just asked Donny Marshall if he anticipated ever having 500 "Marshall Plans" and I nearly threw my remote at the television in terror.
