Who had the worst first half?

My vote probably goes to Pierce, because of his lack of aggression and the horrific point differential.  Rondo is a close second.

Perk's stats don't look terrible, but mentally, he hasn't seemed into the game at all.

Team defense.



It wasn't until the 2nd quarter that they started putting their arms up.

Nobody really stood out as worse than all the rest. They all underperformed, they did it as a unit. They didn't execute offensively, defense wasn't as good as previous games. They're primarily team things. Individually most if not all were below par.

To pick one:

Rondo

He was doing it again tonight, it being getting team very slowly into it's halfcourt offense. Why is he dribbling the ball so long before making the first pass? His lack of shooting hurt the team also. Delonte on the other end looked too comfortable, better D please Rajon.

its been the same thing every away game, we come out slow and sluggish and that effects everything we do. Don't blame Rondo if the player are not fighting to get into position, or not fighting through picks. The entire teams does not believe they can win on the road right now and are doing it to themselves.

They are slow to get into their offense because they are not making the usual stops.  Prevents them from pushing the pace.

That's no reason for Rondo to dribble the ball for 10 seconds before passing. He's just standing at the top of the key dribbling instead of passing to a teammate and getting their halfcourt offense going.

KG isn't getting the ball in the post here in the third either. Rondo is the point, that's primarily on him (it's on all but firstly him).

I'd have to say Rondo.  He's been pretty terrible and he's supposed to set the table.  He's killing the team in this game.  Can't even make a layup. >:(

Man, they needed to put in House in the 1st quarter....

I wish we went to the Hack-a-Ben when we were down in the 1st.

These games are a vivid reminder that we need to slow down the "Rondo to the HOF" bandwagon.

Both of our two kid starters have totally laid an egg in this game. Frankly, I'm ready to start someone else besides Perkins.

And Rondo. Dude, we cannot win with you pounding the ball and looking for your shot like Marbury every time down. Plus, you've got to at least attempt to guard the Cleveland points.
