Why is Eddie entering for Rondo???

[scoop]

It has been a pattern when the C's are playing their lethargic game that they threaten to take it and then let up.  7 points leads evaporate.  This is solvable, but they really need to keep the intensity up until the game is won.  Cannot keep letting these lesser teams feel like they can win.

This has been a pattern for the Cs for many a year now.  It is stress inducing.

Although, when the Cs were a struggling team, I distinctively remember the false hope that we would hold on to when we "stuck with" the visiting good team for 3 quarters before the visiting good team woke up and dominated in the 4th.  

In other words, I don't think "playing down to the competition" (with all due respect to the Bucks and other sub .500 teams) is something that only plagues the Cs, I think it plagues all good teams, and is something to watch out for...

It's not a plague, it's just that the difference between good and bad NBA teams isn't that big - most games among them are still competitive.

Okay, so why is Eddie in for Rondo again?

C's need a couple stops here to finally put this game away.

In fairness to Ray, Perk dribbled the ball for too long and made a tough pass there instead of just handing it over to Rondo.  Needed a score there hopefully the Bucks don't come right back and cut it to 3...

man..a hoop there would have pretty much done it...boston sure comes out if few days rest and looks slow, bored, and not ready to play....

Rondo has raised his FT% all the way up to 47%

Hack-a-Rondo, maybe? Rondo's back in anyways.

KG with a nice hoop but terrible play on defense.  He was late getting to Ilyasova and gives the Buck 2 points without running the clock.  Bad play there once again on defense...
