I seem to remember when the Celtics picked up Cassell last year, it had a mental effect on Rondo's play. He seemed to press and rush things, like he was scared to fail knowing they had just signed a veteran backup. It lasted a few games at least, if I remember correctly, before he eventually came out of it. Well, not trying at all to panic, so please don't grill me for bringing it up, but I sort of some the same stuff last night (only saw the first half). Taking a lot of jumpers, looked timid and hesitant to drive and score... if he got that way when 38 year-old Cassell came in, I can only imagine his thoughts/worry when Marbury comes in. Yeah, he's a championship point guard now, but he's still a kid. It may just be one bad (shooting) game... can't argue with 17 assists (through only 3 quarters I read? Wow!), but how he reacts to having a little push behind him in the form of a former all star point guard has me just slightly, minutely, little bit worried. Probably not enough to even bring up... but hey! That's what forums are for!
