Celtics (23-6) at Warriors (8-21) 12/28

Monta Ellis plays incredible tonight.

C's still on pace for 100 points or so against this horrid defensive team after a 35 point first quarter.  

For all of Rondo's great moves his defense is still nothing great.  Baron Davis torched him last night and Ellis is doing the same.  SO what if he scores 20 but gives up 30 that ratio doesn't cut it.

On the radio they said that Garnett hurt his right knee. Why isn't Tony Allen playing in this game? Why? He is the only one who can have a shot at defending Monte Ellis. Why Doc, why?

How are we only down 3? Is the scorekeeper secretly subtracting points from the Warriors?

Rondo: 28 and 14 assists on 10-17 and 7-9 free-throws. Nice.

Rondo's doing a great job on D and O, but Ellis is just having a stellar night.

Jeez Rondo, nice jumper.

He's insane.

Great job on D? Ellis has 35 points.

Monta Ellis plays incredible tonight.

I thinks Donny is going to ask him for his phone #.

Pick and rolls and contested shots.

I disagree with that last bit. He's doing all he can. Ellis has been scoring more over others, or when there's picks. Rondo isn't big enough to push through picks by bigs, which is how teams plan their O against us.

What jdpapa said, and read my last post for reference.

Exactly Rondo gives up more than he scores so let's hold off on the great D praise.  Just like Baron Davis torched him last night too.

They final called that! I wish I new what spread the refs were covering so I'd know the final margin.

Baron and Monta are offensive machines... it's going to happen against guys like that... and he's closer to scoring 30 than 20, so that ratio is a little easier to deal with.

Look for Ellis to drive and either score or dish to Turiaf.
