I've been on the Rondo bandwagon since 2008. Went to a game with some buddies and a friend of mine go thim to sign his Rondo jersey, he even shot the shit with us for a few minutes, cool dude.

Really all Rondo needed was to be taught the right mentality. Bringing KG (back in 08 when he had something in the tank still) in with his intensity as well as Ray Allen's quiet leadership really brought it out of him. Add that to Rondo needing to be the Alpha Dog last year in the playoffs and you get the player you see now.

I'd hold off on calling it his team til Pierce is gone.

Celtics have only lost two times at home so far this postseason I believe. I don't see the Lakers beating them twice in Boston.

The reserves did well for Boston tonight as well. Rasheed played well as did Glen Davis for the most part. Nate Robinson came in and energized the team in the 4th, Tony Allen did well. Overall it was a team effort that made up for Pierce and KG's shit performances. That and Allen getting 32 with 8 3 pointers, and Rondo's Triple double.
I do. If Kobe doesn't get into foul trouble the Lakers would be up 2-0
I would have to disagree with this. LeBron didn't "rape" the Celtics when pushed. Neither did Howard. The Celtics have the team to keep Kobe in check. Not stop him, but certainly control him.
Plus, his foul trouble was not an accident, it's called tough team defence. You say the Lakers would have been 2-0 if he wasn't in foul trouble. The fact is he was in foul trouble because of the Celtics. Hopefully they'll put him there again in Boston.

Kobe isn't LeBron or Howard, he's a bit more seasoned than they are.
That's really just conjecture though, you have no idea if that's what actually would have happened. Either way the series is tied and Boston's got the next two games at home, so things are looking good right now for us. If we can keep up the great defense and get better performances out of KG and Pierce, we have a good chance to take both of those home games and take the 3-1 lead in the series.
Great game tonight, much better than the first (and not just because my team won this time!)
Great game. This series has to go at least 6 games. I think it'll be seven, because things are going to be tight from now on. Although, I have to believe LA is going to slow down Allen some how. There's no way that can let him go off like that again.
Great game.
Very impressed by Boston. Even with Pierce and Garnett both playing like a couple of worthless pieces of shit they still managed to hang on and take the win. I definitely see them winning at least 2 of the 3 games at home now.
And I didn't like all the Big Baby hatin' I saw in this thread.
Boston wouldn't have won tonight without him.......

Boston wouldn't have won tonight without him.......Ray Allen's acting job also helped with the foul trouble. When Kobe has been on the floor the Celtics have struggled to stop him
My high disdain for the Celtics do lead to a lot of my comments on this series but one thing I would say even if I liked the Celtics was that Big Baby is not that good. He plays hard but he also plays like a shooting guard. The guy is 6'8 and probably close to 300 pounds. He needs to stop taking jumpers and he gets backed down to easily in the post.
But this "acting job" is typical of the modern day NBA. Everyone does it, not just Allen. Plus, with possibly one exception, I wouldn't consider Allen acting.
Plus, if they can continue to play strong on both sides of the court, they can keep Kobe in foul trouble and off the floor, or less dominant when on it. Then they won't have to worry as much about stopping him.

Also, his offensive game is 10x better than Ben Wallace, while still giving as much hustle and determination on the floor as Wallace ever gave.
