We’re just two games into the KG/Paul Pierce/Ray Allen experiment, but it already looks like it’s a success. Two days after blowing out the Wizards, 103-83, on opening night, the Celtics beat the Raptors in overtime, 98-95, on a Ray Allen three-point shot with 0:04 to play in the extra period. So that’s two wins over two teams that made the playoffs last season – not a bad start.

Allen, Pierce and Garnett are all averaging over 20 points per game. Garnett has been a monster on the boards (16.5) and leads his team in assists (5.5). Boston is using an eight-man rotation that includes starters Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins and reserves James Posey, Eddie House and Brian Scalabrine. Surprisingly, Tony Allen saw just three minutes of action against the Raptors after playing 16 minutes against the Wizards.

It’s early, but Danny Ainge’s creation looks good so far. It’s not a huge surprise, either. Garnett and Allen are known for being pretty good teammates, so it was expected that they’d be willing to share the ball. Boston has three of the top 12 (or so) players in the conference, so it’s just a matter of the other players finding and filling their roles.
