Well How you like rondo now....assists and world leader..YES...

Not excusing the way the guys are playing tonight, but this game here is clear proof as to how important Ray is to this team. People would do well not to forget what we are seeing here. Ray Allen's experience and what he brings to this team is not so easily replaced.

Ray defends heinrich far better than what we saw at the start of this game, which would have likely cut down on the three pointers hit so far. Bradley is great defensively, but also undersized, hence teams get away with more against him out on the perimeter. Not only that, I think with Ray on the court, and with the threat of his three point shot, the Celtics would possibly be leading this thing right now, or not be down by as much.

Ray in his prime was the primary reason it took seven games for the C's to get by the Hawks the year they won it all.  The other two of the Big Three are stinking it up tonight.  You can't just assume that Ray would be playing great--even if he hadn't been out for weeks and would likely be rusty were he playing.

How does Teague get a rebound over KG and Bass?

Rondo's defense/positioning on teague is truly horrendous...

Speaking of deer in the headlights...avery bradley anyone?

not bradley.  he's still cutting and scrapping.   his FTs aren't good though

[j804]

Bass is useless

[letsgoblue86]

I hate Josh Smith so much.

[slamtheking]

man, Rondo should have had that loose ball

[Redz]

Energy level is up at least

[Chief]

Bass is just worthless. He just stands around on both ends.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Bass doesn't even want tthe ball....bradley will get it going, we already know he can hit that shot.....

[Who]

Ronnie Brewer = best baseline cutter in NBA

[YouCantHandleTheTruth!]

OMG Bradley

[letsgoblue86]

Anyone know if Avery played any minutes at all during last years playoffs?

[Andrew Celtic Nation]

Bradley has missed free throws and open jumpers...shots that he was making consistently for the final few months of the season. If he made that three it would have been a huge momentum turner and he was WIDE OPEN.

[The Walker Wiggle]

Bradley clanging shots that Ray would've hit...
