Holy Kevin Durant

The kid is 6'10", handles the ball like a point guard, is a pure-shooter with unlimited range, and can post-up on the block with the best of 'em.  I dont know what's scarier, the fact that Kevin Durant is going to be in the league for another 10-12 years, or the degree of respect his given by the refs at the age of...21?  The dude can flat-out score, but last night, he was getting to the foul line a little too frequently.  As Kevin Garnett pointed out, he(Durant) got to the line almost as much as the entire Celtics team.  That's inexcusable, especially on the road, where away players typically aren't treated to home cookin' by the officials.  I don't know if the free throw discrepancy cost the C's the contest, but it certainly didn't help in a game where both teams shot an extremely high percentage from the floor.  With the loss, the green team now fall into the 4th spot in the conference, which means a potential matchup with the Bucks could be lurking.  Although they won't admit it publicly, I'm sure Doc Rivers and Co. would prefer a matchup with the Miami Heat, as opposed to the Bucks, who are playing good ball, and bear striking similarities to that pesky Bulls team from a year ago.  The same Bulls team that took us to 7 games, including several multi-overtime thrillers that left the Celtics gased going into the next round.  This isn't to say that trying to contain Dwayne Wade would be a simple feat, but it just seems like a more favorable matchup for the defensive minded Celtics, who have had success with these types of teams.
