So will it still be Rondo's fault for everything wrong happening with this team or, are we now going to start blaming D West?

Well, I do think Rondo is banged up in part because Delonte is as brittle as Jermaine O'Neal.

Well, I was wrong about winning with the blow out. But the Celtics did win. The offense ran way better with Delonte in there. West came up with some big time plays, including a game saving rebound.



The starting unit with West looked a lot better. The Celtics started to lose the huge lead when the bench was in.


The 25 point lead the Celtics had is indicative of what West can do with the starters.

We scored 85 points against the Wolves. Offense looked pretty much the same to me.

Celtics blowing out Minnesota in the first quarter.

Ball movement is the best ive seen it all season.

Sorry Rondo, you need to be benched for the rest of the season. Our team is better offensively without you.

Next time you should wait before declaring your winnings.

I disagree. The first quarter was the best offensive basketball I've seen the Celtics play in two months.

Celtics Jekyl and Hyde half syndrome is alive and well.

Only team in the league that goes from playing like the best to playing like the worst team in a matter of a 20 minute halftime.

It's too bad they don't count who wins the first quarter as who won they game... We'd already have Banner 18 hanging.

  I guess all the people who were looking for a moratorium on the West vs Rondo must have decided that Rondo in the worst slump of his career is about as good as Delonte on an average night.

  • GOT IT!!!
The Celtics are a TEAM!

Why are people picking favorites when you need everyone to play together to win a championship?

The C's looked good in the first quarter because they were playing as a TEAM. It had nothing to do with West starting in place of Rondo. West had 5 assists, it's not he was Magic Johnson out there.
