good game, glad rose didnt play...

What would you rather have?  Good Rondo playing like this 33-50% of the time (Bad Rondo otherwise)?  Or a point guard who would give us 75% of what Good Rondo gives us, but give us that kind of play 80-90% of the time?

Serious question.  I'm not sure what the answer is.

Given that Rondo is playing like a superduper star about 50% of the time, a good player, the type of player you say is 75% of Good Rondo, about 40% of the time and that he just doesn't show up maybe 10% of the time during the regular season but always shows up in the playoffs, I'll take Rondo.

The amount of time people think Rondo has bad games is so grossly over exaggerated on this blog that it is pathetic. He has had 4 bad games this year 2 of which can be attributed to returning from an 8 game layoff due to injury.

In past years my guess is the numbers are closer to what I say regarding how he plays than how you describe his play.

Though the frequency with which we see "Bad Rondo" might be exaggerated here, I think you exaggerate how often we see "Good Rondo."

Especially when you consider that even in his best games, Rondo almost always disappears in the 4th quarter.

Is it just me or are the celtics more interesting whenever a starter is out?

I'm going to assume this one is in the bag now and start with the TP tradition I've missed out on for the past few games.

TP for you, slam

Maybe my favorite game of the year. I love seeing the veterans and youth playing major minutes together.

I totally agree, but what's sad is Doc never does this unless he has to

Good Rondo 50% is a team that wins 1/2 of the time.

Andre Miller or Baron Davis is .75 X .80 = .60 or 6 out of 10 Woops.

You can't blame Danny for not giving him the pieces.

No, but when you use the piece wrong like 95 times and then you use another piece a few times and it does well....

Today was a very good Celtic day and a reminder to all fans and Celtic personnel never to give up on the Celtics cause. Effort and energy made a court appearance for the green and we cannot be more grateful for that. We need to keep fighting for victories and avoid the negativity from the media and from the bloggers. Rick Pitino is not walking through that door. Paul Ga$ton is not walking through that door. Jerome Moiso, Vitaly Potapeko, and Calbert Cheaney are not walking through that door either. BCP.

Rondo played better because we had some guys who would run in Wilcox and Johnson out there.  I thought Doc almost lost it going to small ball at the end.  The running bigs thing was working nicely.

end of game all i could think was the old saying
close games good teams find a way to win
but we were good enough to beat one of the top 3 teams in nba with/without rose

does anyone else think they'd be better trading boozer for a slighter scoring pf but better defender, he doesnt' seem to care about defense at all

I agree!! It's a Doc thing.
