I'm very worried about Rondo.

Adrenaline helped him get through the dislocation but it's going to be very sore the next day.

He will probably play on Monday, but how much can we expect from him with a gimped left arm? He's a tough cookie though.

We NEED a healthy Rondo. Fingers crossed.

Fortunately, their three best players play the same position as our Big Three. If we can keep that matchup close, we can win the series despite a 100% Rondo.

With KG dominating and Pierce winning his matchup, even if Wade trumps Ray, our C, bench, injured Rondo and coaching staff will beat the Heat.

I agree but the injuries are really starting to pile up. They need time to heal, time we don't have. It's been such a cursed season thus far injury-wise, just glad the Big 3 haven't had anything serious *knocks on wood*.

What I find funny is if we do lose this series, Ainge has the perfect out.

I'm sure that's his fault too though.....

The naysayers' heads will be twisting exorcism style.

The line is 80 threads of debate. I'll bet the over.

I'm pondering if I need glasses. I could have swore I saw Shaq playing tonight when we knew with out a doubt he was "done"

I experienced a Shaq sighting as well, he didn't do much tho lol. Hope he has a monster game 4, but I'm being wayyy optimistic.

I don't think he will be starting, but there is a decent chance he may be active instead of Troy Murphy.

Rondo and Delonte will play monday night i guarantee it....this is the playoffs. not the regular season where theyll rest these guys...considering rondo played tonight, nothings gonna stop him from playing monday

same with delonte...these guys are warriors

I think they both will play. The question will be, how effectively will they play.

  Rondo with one good arm is better than Arroyo. Delonte too, for that matter. He'll put in a decent game, but I wouldn't really expect a triple double or anything.

No offense vinnie, but topics like these are why people give you grief for your lack of optimism.....

Doc expressed concern about Delonte West's shoudler. Delonte on the injury: "Still lingering, but nothing that should hold me out."

I think more important thing to ponder is whether the Heat will fold as a result of tonight.

No offense, Tai, but that is what a board like this is for. Not to hide one's head in the sand and pretend things are great. Thanks for your opinion though, but I won't consider it in the future. And honestly, I really don't care what people think.

Rondo said himself that he'll be able to play defense on Monday.  Rondo lasered in on defense may not be such a bad thing. 

Arroyo is an NBA point guard and is capable of a decent game against a not too spry PG like Bibby.  I wouldn't want any big Arroyo minutes on a reglular basis, but for 1 game sometimes mediocre players can rise to the occasion.

I think West would start and Arroyo come in off the bench.  Can't believe the season may be in West's hands, though!

Why not Delonte? I don't understand.
