He had some nice shots that he created himself.

But i did not see a lot for the rest of the team.

Result? 2 assists in 34 minutes.

He looked like a SG and not the PG.

he made a crucial mistake  when there was about 2 minutes left to the game.  Going after a Raptors loose ball that would have a half court violation. Instead he knocked it out of bounce and they got the ball back.

I agree. I would have liked to see Delonte get the nod as the starting pg, even though he supposedly doesn't know the plays but Nate does. I mean, Delonte was here for training camp and every practice since then, he was suspended, not injured, so I'm kind of surprised he doesn't know the plays yet, considering he also played for Doc before too.

Scoring Point-Guard makes me 

Can we make a hybrid? Mix Rondo's court vision, with Nate scoring.

can't fault a guy for going for a loose ball. You never know who it was really knocked off of, and you never know how the refs will call it. Guys should always go after the loose ball no matter what.

I hate losing, but this loss I predicted that morning. A buddy of mine(LeBron lover/sports Junkie) argued with me about the importance and greatness that Rondo brings(best PG in the league at being a PG)
My friend makes the comment that Nate is the better PG. I argue that Nates a great scorer, but he's not a starting PG on this team. Rondo makes the entire team better. Dude says let Nate start and see what happens.

I go home, read that Rondo had a hurt hip, and was listed day-to-day. So it was bound to happen that we lose this game.



Top it all off, the Celtics are playing sorry teams with a bag of Dorritos on their shoulders, and they're giving the games away from the start. This team should easily be 13-0, but they're not. The biggest questions of chemistry have been answered. The talent is there, but we're not winning and it sucks. But point blank. Rondo is our PG and he is what makes this team live and Die.

Exactly.  An NBA player with the experience that Barbosa has usually doesn't dribble the ball off his own foot.  Also Nate probably would have gotten control of that ball if he wasn't fouled.
