Tonight’s game with the Bobcats features two teams on four game winning streaks and don’t sell the Bobcats short, either. They are very underrated the way they are playing right now. The Bobcats play great defense. Top five in the league. When they score points they can be very tough to beat. Just ask Cleveland, who were beat down by the ‘cats last week. Having said that (nod to Curb)… the Celtics have also won four in a row and, however unimpressive some of the victories were, they are getting their swagger back. They have a huge lead in the division already can move the focus to the conference. Not bad for a team that has largely failed to meet its own expectations.

KG v. Boris Diaw– I have loved Boris Diaw’s game ever since his days with the Suns when he was a fantasy stud. I feel like he is the Chone Figgins of the NBA fantasy-wise, for those fantasy baseball guys out there. He is very athletic and can play three or maybe even four positions. He defends well and when he rebounds, he is a borderline elite player. That being said, KG had his best shooting night of the season against the Heat, going 11 for 12 from the field.

Prediction– The Celtics and Bobcats, two of the best defensive teams in the NBA, are going to both allow more points than they allow on average. Celtics 101-95 in an entertaining affair. Or else it will be a 89-85 clunker…but I hope I am right.
