The bench, plain and simple, sucked tonight. And they weren't all that better last night either.
I hated the turnovers tonight, though, turnovers are not this team's nemesis this year like it has been in past years. Rondo had about three really bad ones but when a guy has 15 assists and plays 46 minutes and had the ball in his hands almost constantly, I can forgive him 2-3 stupid turnovers. What I can't forgive is Tony's 5 TO's, Perk's 4 TO's and Baby's 4 TO's. Just God awful.
KG and Rondo played hurt tonight. If I'm concerned about anything after these last two games it's that the health of this team is slowly getting worse. Typical log season stuff. I don't think anyone is getting over played. I just think regular injuries and wear and tear is catching up with this team right now.
Second year in a row where a slump after Christmas wouldn't surprise me in the least.
On the good side, Rondo was 6 for 11 from outside tonight and 7 for 9 from the line. Over the last 10 games Rondo is shooting over 70% from the line.
