4-Game Road Trip.......

wasn't Portland the first team to ever sweep the Texas Trio back in the dark ages?

I was thinking the same thing - at the time I remember it was considered a very big deal.

But as tough as that might be, the Celtics completed a rare sweep of the Texas Triangle on Thursday night by defeating the Mavericks 94-90 at a sold-out American Airlines Center. It was the first time an NBA team had completed the Texas Triangle undefeated since the Sacramento Kings in 2001. It was also the first time Boston accomplished the feat since the 1986-87 season, and its fourth time in 13 tries.

Hm, maybe Portland was the first western conference team to do it?

These next two games have me more nervous than the first two. Of course, if we had just beaten OKC and HOU on consecutive nights and were about to play DAL and SAS I'd say the same thing.

Completing this road trip 3-1 or 4-0 would silence a lot of doubters. I'm hoping the fact this game is on national television serves as a motivator to our team to show the East Coast Media what this team is capable of.

I wish it had been the DAL game on TNT. We didn't "live by the jumpshot" there, we just destroyed a playoff team on their floor with dunks, LaMonster inside and decent D. The garbage time would've allowed for lots of announcer fill time to talk about the Blazers and their rise.

As it is, I'm afraid that it'll be 8-on-5 and it'll be a 150-minute homage to Howard and Harden, who have a combined 0 titles among them.

You both dropped the ball. It's Gaucho Marx in his avatar.

That deserves capital PUNishment!
