Guess who ended the Cassell/House debate?
From Steve Bulpett in Thursday's Herald:
[quote] He’s not a member of the Big Three, the New Three or the Three
Amigos. He’s not even 23.
But last night Rajon Rondo saved the Celtics season.
And he did it with a couple of 3’s.
The Celts were listing toward doom, down a dozen at the Garden as
halftime neared. LeBron James had flown out of his funk with 23 points
in the opening 20 minutes. Everything was going Cleveland’s way, even
when Rondo wound up with the ball on the right wing with the shot
clock waning. The guy the Cavaliers are essentially daring to shoot
had no choice but to do so.
The shot that found only net with 2:42 left wasn’t just Rondo’s
third trey of the playoffs, it was his third trey since March 8.
Then, as if to prove it wasn’t a fluke, the kid came down less
than a minute later and pulled up for another 3-pointer. More net.
In the blink of a statistical anomaly, the C’s pulled their one
sneaker out of the playoff grave and were on their way to cutting
their deficit to three points by the break.[/quote]
Rondo's threes were momentum changers, but it was the deferral of
Pierce and Co. to let Rondo run the offense that extended the momentum
and led to the win.
Remarkable, we found our ball movement.
In the last few minutes when the "heroes" forgot to get Rondo the ball
they made four turnovers and almost blew the game.
Luckily Pierce made his freebies.
Another key to this game was Cleveland missing numerous foul shots
throughout.
Can the Celtics continue their unselfish ways, overcome the plethora
of fouls shots the opposition is sure to take and beat the dreaded
home court advantage that seems to be looming like Godzilla on the
horizon?
Justin, JB and the Duke will be on hand after Friday night's game to
celebrate or start getting really worried.
