Celtics (0-1) at Heat (1-0) ECF Game 2 5/30

[BRC-14]

the difference between Hollins and Steimsma has been very apparent this game.  Steimsma was grabbing rebounds, scored and playing decent D.  Hollins, none of the above.

Which is why I still don't understand how we can give minutes to a guy that Cleveland didn't even want..

Stiemsma scored on the most open put-back of the night, and almost single-handedly put Miami in the bonus in 3 minutes of play.

my God, I feel we re unbeatable when we re clicking like this.

4am, I have to go to work in couple of hrs but I can't help but watch it.

[Chief]

Triple Double watch:

Rondo 18 pts, 7 assists, 4 rebounds  (1 steal)

2nd half heat will come with wrath. Celtics have to keep what they are doing now. Rondo has to keep pushing. He needs to score 40 today

[slamtheking]

Rondo is the man.

and yet there'll be a resumption of the 'trade Rondo' threads after the game

What is it with this teams inability to make layups?

And if the Cs defended the 3 better in this half, this would be a blowout right now.

But then again, if this was a blowout, there's a decent chance we would blow the lead anyway.

Spoken like a victim of this season.

[Spilling Green Dye]

Rondo's aggressiveness is the biggest reason we are winning.  Next is our defense.  But we need our defense to really enable a hard push by Rondo.  

I hope in the 2nd half Rondo attacks like there's no tomorrow.

[Senninsage]

Very incredible play by Rondo so far, but the biggest surprise, I have to say, is Ray. He's really looking sharp out there today. I like

[Tgro]

I hate Ryan Hollins. Worst player in the nba.

He'd be a star in Charlotte. 

That used to talk reserved for our good buddy Dooling.

[mctyson]

at the very least this should to prove to all of us that this team has the ability to win this series, they just need consistency

[vinnie]

I would love to see Sean Williams get Hollins' minutes. He can't be worse.

Hollins best asset is that he is good Pick-N-Roll player. Stiemsma struggles with that play

the refs call fouls on him for breathing so I take that bonus issue with a grain of salt.

as for the putback, it's better than Hollins has done.  Steimsma has good hands and can score.  Hollins, nothing other than a lob for a dunk.

[Rondo_is_better]

He made both and I swooned.
