It's laughable that Rondo is not an all-star. PPG is not all that matters.

It isn't, but I don't think he is none-the-less. He's good, but he does benefit from the team he's on, and the All-Star field isn't exactly weak.

I will say that both he and Mo Williams deserve it over, say, Iverson.

Man, have the Spurs had one possession where the C's haven't put their hands on the ball?

EDIT: Man, Powe didn't even have to tip that or anything. He just took it.

i'd like for us to go in up more than just three.

i'm still not set on Rondo being our last possession guy. it'd make way more sense to just run Ray off a screen.

Half-good, half-bad quarter.

Don't like Rondo trying to pull little Pierce moves with ball fakes and then taking a jumper with contact.

These two teams are so evenly matched. I'd be more afraid to play the Spurs in the finals than the Lakers.

Not happy with the way the quarter ended. I hope the bench comes out firing today in the 2nd.
Tommy: He's got a line about me. Tell him the line.

Mike: Everybody 60 or over knows Tommy as a player. Everybody 40 or over knows Tommy as a coach. Everybody 20 or over knows Tommy as a broadcaster. And everybody 10 or under thinks he's Shrek.

Bad close to the quarter but overall not too bad.

Anybody else think a Celtics/Spurs Finals would be great?

I hope House set the roof of fire.

  • Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...
Seems that Rondo is going to be really REALLY overated after this game.

Watching House try to get the ball up the court, hurts my stomach.

The Spurs will be definitely be tougher to beat but I would love a Celtic/Spurs final. I was hoping for one last year. It'll be great basketball. Team play, defense and no Zen mistress whining after every game. Perfect.
