another off balance rainbow shoot with a hand in his face, if that kid would go cold we'd go on a 10-2 run

EDIT: that one was just bad. paul got smoked

i hate that gallinaroi dude. rondo limping again....call doc will ya....

[Who]

Semih belongs in the NBDL. Unfortunately, all of the Celtics real centers are hurt.

I don't think that would help him any. He already has considerable experience in Europe playing against a better caliber of opposition.

It's hard to see him improving any by stepping down to a lower level of basketball.

[vinnie]

Ridiculous that rondo is in. Limping badly. Come on, doc. Nice d by pierce. Not

[fairweatherfan]

Rondo looks like an old man out there...if he doesn't loosen up in the next minute or so we should pull him.

[RJ87]

Dear Pierce,

See that guy Gallinari? You're supposed to be defending him.

Thanks,
RJ

[Meadowlark_Scal]

bbd keeps rebounding he could be the man.

[butterbeanlove]

the refs gave us the two token calls to even it out.

Prepare for no love down the stretch.

there you go doc..keep playing rondo push him big time in a dumb game...ya the knicks are just the same as a championship RIGHT......dumb old doc, no vision..oh ya doc this game is so important...screwed now, ham, foot and ankle....we'll play him tomorrow though...right....!!!

he rolled an ankle on someones foot.

I'd be with you if it was one of the other injuries flaring up, but should doc just not play rondo ever because he might step on someone?

 That injury could have happened in the first 30 seconds of the game or the last minute, it wasen't a wear and tear injury for pete's sake....

you're missing the point - too many minutes + fatigue + playing USA ball this summer all add up to make Rondo more susceptible to injury - a rested body and fresh legs simply don't get caught up in "routine" injuries like that rolled ankle. i have a close friend who is a PHD is exercise physiology who has explained studies on injury vulnerability to me - fascinating stuff.

[crownsy]

felton from waaayyyy downtown. man.

[fairweatherfan]

Despite all the frustrating stuff, what a great game this has been.  Lot of fun.

[ejk3489]

Some defense would be nice.

[vinnie]

Could celts play any worse defense? Just awful

[PosImpos]

TAKE RONDO OUT OF THE DARN GAME! 

He can't defend right now, he's too slow.  TAKE HIM OUT.
