House stresses importance of each win
TD BANKNORTH GARDEN — The Wizards (6-25) are a bad team, but Celtics guard Eddie House (11 points) didn’t diminish the importance of tonight’s win.
“It’s important to try to take care of homecourt advantage,” said House. “If you don’t take care of home during the regular season it’s pretty tough to take care of home throughout the playoffs.”
Celtics forward Brian Scalabrine, who had 5 points in 10 minutes of play, said the Celtics never look at the quality of their opponent.
“I don’t think it really matters,” Scalabrine said. “Doc [Rivers] said at the beginning of the year that he wanted to make a schedule up, and every single game that we had was going to be a signal of the Boston Celtics, meaning we play against ourselves. Every night we play, it’s us that we lose to or it’s us that we beat. Really, it’s all about us.”
