Celtics (51-22) at Spurs (57-17) 3/31

Great win tonight. Nice to see KG, Pierce and Rondo play so well. Nice game out of Baby too. Also Green, who I'd like to see play more.

Dang though Shaq we need ya and Murphy too.

[birdwatcher]

on a side note, I also liked McHale as a color analyst. His best line of the night"...he did everything he possibly could on defense besides grow..."

[LilRip]

great win. not thrilled about the b2b. we could lose that game. but nice to see JO getting some productive minutes in the game. if we get Shaq back, and add JO and KG into that mix, that is a very strong front court!

[Drucci]

Clearly Rondo's best game of the season and a magnificient way to get out of his slump. I'm not going to say "wow he can shoot consistently now!!" but it does make feel good about his jumpshot and confidence heading in the playoffs.

Great win anyway, let's hope tomorrow's game won't be disappointing and Krstic's injury won't be that bad (but I fear the worst).

Rondo had an assist to turnover ratio of ∞ tonight

I know it has been some time but games like tonight's were routine for Rondo for the first quarter of the season... I expect the same routine in the playoffs.

[JohnBagleyValueMeal]

Am I the only one that could care less that Krstic got hurt?

He was a no defense playing scrub.

Now this forces the Celtics hand with Shaq.

Thats great Mega, wonderful attitude. Let's cheer for an injury.

OMG!! Are kidding me??? He still finds a way to post something NEGATIVE!!!!

you see him trollin'
he hatin'

Maybe the Krstic injury is a blessing in disguise--we'll get to the see the smallball Doc has been talking about a lot. Green with the starters and Baby with the starters.

you're right--blessing was probably a bad word choice.

Oh so true. Especially at this point of the season.

[Jon]

I've been on the Jermaine O'Neal bandwagon all year, believing he would get back.  But I've gotta say, he even exceeded my expectations.  

If this is what he can do after not playing all season and not having his conditioning and plays down, he's going to be a huge upgrade in a few weeks when he gets all that stuff down.

I was high on JO when the season started, thinking he wasn't done--then he got injured and I started doubting, *big time*. Its a nice start back for him, just hoping he can maintain it.

[Celtic]

Solid win, Rondo looked amazing, as did KG. JO looked terrific for his first game back.

Murphy better get ready, losing Krstic sucks.

That stat at the start of the fourth quarter (avg 17 points and garbage fg % last 4-5 games in the fourth) made me think, this is a game (or quarter) where the Celtics close out a game and a good team the way they should. Turned out to be right, unlike the last few games the offense in the fourth was spectacular. Overall the defense was spotty at times (parker early) but they stepped up in the fourth and closed out on both ends. GREAT win!
