Josh Q. Public: Simple and plain. Give me the lane. I’ll throw it down your throat like Barkley. See these car keys? You’ll never get these. They belong to the 98 posse. -Public Enemy

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Finally. Finally we made it. Looks like we made it. Barry Manilow style. But hold on there big fella. Not so fast. There’s still business to take care of. Serious business. Big business. Growed folks business. Cleveland Cavaliers business. LeBron James business. King James. The King is dead. Long live the King! Witness. This is the question on everybody’s mind today. How do the Boston Celtics stop the King today? How do you top a car? Tep on the break, tupid! If only it were that easy. We all know the Celtics play defense. Ridiculous defense. Preposterous defense. Ludacris defense. When I move you move. Just like that. Hell yeah! Hey DJ, bring that back! The Celtics are going to have to bring that defense back. Bring back the best defense in the NBA. Getting stops. Big stops. Important stops. Stops in the name of love. Getting huge defensive stops that enable the C’s to go on huge runs that lead to huge leads that means never having to look back. Howeva. Howeva, during the regular season, the Celtics and Cavaliers split their four games. Both teams winning on their home court. Boston won a game that LeBron James missed. Cleveland took a game that KG sat out. Pretty even. You know who you are? Even Steven. The Celtics are going to have to do better than Even Steven in these here playoffs against these here Cavs with this here Bron Bron. Paul Pierce will try not to exhaust himself defensively against the King. Why should he? He has help. He has Defensive Player of the Year help. Kevin Garnett help. Big Ticket help. Here’s your ticket. Hear the drummer get wicked. Garnett will be able to help because he will be able to leave Big Ben Wallace. Offensively impotent Big Ben Wallace. Offensively impotent Big Ben Wallace who averaged a paltry 3.2 points against the Wizards. Yes, Garnett will be able to leave Big Ben Wallace. But in order for Garnett to be able to leave Big Ben Wallace and help with LeBron, Kendrick Perkins must do his job. Perk must do his job and hang tough with Ilgauskas. Žydrūnas Ilgauskas. Make sure you spell it right. Mike Bibby called Perkins “soft.” Mike Bibby said a lot of things. Where is Mike Bibby now? Perk cannot be soft tonight. Perk cannot be soft in any of these games. Perk will have to get physical. Let’s get physical, physical. I wanna get physical. Perk will have to get physical and keep a booty on the brother at all times. He will have to do his job so Kevin Garnett can do his. He will have to do his job so Kevin Garnett can free up and help with LeBron. Kendrick had his best game of the playoffs on Sunday. Heck, Kendrick had the best game of his life on Sunday. Ended up with a double-double. Double trouble. Throw it down, big man! Throw it down. He also blocked a playoff career-high five shots despite not playing in the fourth quarter. Perkins dominated Al Horford at the offensive end of the court. Perkins dominated Al Horford at the defensive end of the court. He limited Horford to four points, on 2-for-8 shooting, through the first three quarters. For the Celtics to win this series, they need more of the same. They need more Kendrick Perkins. NBA Action. Win or go home! Roll Celtics roll!
