Celtics Bulls Contributions by "Other than Big Three"

[Russell Richards]

I was really stoked when I read the box score for the Celtics/Bulls 
game.  Yes, Garnett and Pierce did their usual thing, but focus on what 
Rondo and Perkins and Powe and Brown did.  Rondo: 5 for 9 in field 
goals, 6 for 8 in free throws, 5 assists; Perkins: 4/7 in field goals, 6 
for 6 in free throws, and 11 rebounds; Powe got 10 points and 3 bounds; 
and PJ got 6 rebounds (3 offensive) in about 6 minutes.  These are 
fantastic stats.  Each was doing what they were supposed to contribute.  
Rajon and Perk have really had some fantastic games lately -- certainly 
more than what one would expect from journeyman fill-in players.  I 
think they have ascended above that.  And if PJ continues to contribute 
anything like what he did against the Bulls, he will prove to be an 
exceptional pick up.  And, we have yet to see the contributions of 
Cassell.  For the first time, I think NBA finals are reasonable.
