Well, KG is playing great, and then the bench has started the spark. Lee and Pierce weren't playing very well in the first quarter, but after the bench guys (Bass, Green, Terry an Barbosa mainly) + KG have built a lead, they've come to play better.
This has to do a lot with the King's D, awful since the end of the first. Also our guards didn't start the game very well, too much turnovers and bad game direction. Let's hope they just were disoriented by not having Rondo on the court.
We miss Rondo, anyways, and that was obvious at the game start. We're lucky the King's D has helped us to overcome it.
Go Celtics!!!
If this is what missing rondo looks like i hope we miss rondo for the rest of the season!
I hope we can get this kind of confidence (2nd quarter) from our guards the rest of the season too... but in the playoffs it will be harder to make up for Rondo's absence.
Of course, Celtics were underachieving, and I want them to play much better, I just hope Rondo is able to watch and learn how to lead this team while making his teammates better when he comes back better than ever.
Go Celtics!!
