big 2nd half for Rondo, he needs to get his mojo going.  I think there was some carryover from his 4th Q benching in game 1, he looked very hesitant out there to start the game.  We may win this game (and series) with Sam I Am but these team needs a confident Rondo to make the finals.

As for Ray Allen, I'm befuddled.  He not forcing things but seemed to pass up several decent looks in the 1st half.   
Rondo's problem is that he is constantly jumping in the air to pass the ball. Its a bad habit he picked up in the Atlanta series. Stay on the ground Rajon.

Ray Allen is missing shots and just looks old out there. I wonder if he is sick or something.

What I'm seeing is a lot of double teaming and trapping from Cleveland on Ray.  They're taking him off the game.  His missed one jumper where he was fouled, a runner, and a 3 pointer that looked great and rattled out.  He's also been finding open people when they double team him, but those people have blown the opportunity.  Let's see if we can exploit this in the 2nd half. I really want him to get it going because I think he's feeling good about his shot tonight.

Ray's finally showing some hustle and aggressiveness.  That's what has been missing in his game.

6-0 run to start the third, good way to start.  Appears Ray is back.

Refs really don't want a blowout, doing their best to get Cleveland back in the game.

Wally hammered Ray on his 3 point attempt.

How many bad calls does it take to get Cleveland back in the game? Joey Crawford's trying to find out.

Great start to the second half. Celtics need to keep this lead at around 15 going into the fourth. Cavs don't have the firepower to make back that type of lead. If it's around 10 it'll still be a ball game.

Next 6 minutes is the time to show off their killer instinct

The NBA doesn't want a blowout, if the c's sweep they dont make as much money as if it went 7 games, and a blowout makes them loose more money. As for the Lebron, he should have took up acting instead of basket ball, as i am sure when he retires he will become an actor. The foul on Perk when Lebron grabbed his arm down low was pitiful. If they keep the ball out of Lebron's hands and out of Pierce's hand(to keep it away from Lebron's acting) the C's should be able to keep the points down.
