Rondo ready to go
boston.com

Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo took extra shots in at the end of shootaround this morning after struggling with his shooting touch during the Orlando Magic's 95-90 victory over Boston in their Eastern Conference semifinal series opener Monday.

Rondo scored 14 points and added 10 rebounds and 8 assists in 39 minutes of play, but he also committed 7 turnovers and shot just 2 of 12 from the floor.

"That's the reason we lost," Rondo said today.

Rondo is upset that he didn't play up to his usual standards in Game 1 and admitted he is determined to play better tonight.

Rondo said he feels fine heading in to tonight's Game 2. He has had issues with his ankles and feet in the postseason, and he was bothered by a stomach ailment in Game 7 of the Celtics' first round series against the Bulls because of eating some bad food.

I expect him to play better. I'm more worried about Ray honestly. He needs to hit those big threes if we're going to win this series. For all the three pointers that Orlando takes we shot a lot this season too, at a better percentage.

Remember Ray being ticked off last year and complaining that Rondo isn't getting him the ball where he needs it?  Not to say that Ray's play is up to Rondo, but perhaps when Rondo gets in gear, opportunities will open up for Ray to get back on track.

unless you're a former president, they get like 100k for a speaking engagement, crazy, no?

This is true. But Ray also bricked a few open shots that I recall in Game 1. He also did a poor job of attacking JJ Redick.

[celticinorlando]

i wonder why he wasn't ready to go in game one?

[PosImpos]

Yeah, talk is cheap.

Yeah, they make bank

He's still not shooting very well, but he's almost got a triple double after 2 quarters...I'd say he's back.
