Rondo

e the ball well but Ray misses a short jumper

Bynum misses, Gasol rebounds, misses, KG rebounds

Artest misses a 3, Bynum rebounds, makes the shot and 1. Misses! KG rebounds

So the Lakers just went up 13-12 on a bullshit foul by Rondo on Kobe. Rondo apparently already has 2. We can see where this is going.

On the plus side, Garnett looks like he came to play tonight. 16-16.

Get your head in the game Pierce. Defense is good. Just make a shot.

Rondo hits a 3 as the shot clock expires!

and after all that, it's 61-61 with 7 left inthe 3rd

Celtics are going to be in serious foul trouble in the 4th...Garnett just picked up his 4th doing...nothing.

Ah well.

 So now the series moves back to Orlando, and I'm willing to bet that Rondo is going to have a bounce-back game, and he will carry the team to the Finals. That is, assuming the SI cover curse doesn't smite him. Damn you SI!!!

Then he lost his dribble, had the ball stripped by Tony Allen, and Rondo finishes at the other end with 20 points.

 I think my favorite part of the night was the taunting cheers of the Garden faithful while James attempted free throws, "New York Knicks... New York Knicks"...I can tell you right now, it's the only time you'll hear Boston fans chanting something besides New York Sucks in the Garden. But Please LeBron, do me the favor of going to the Knicks or the Nets. As if I need any new reason to loathe those teams.

Garnett hit key shots to stop a Cav's run. Ray Allen was just deadly from beyond the arc. Rondo didn't have a huge game, but he didn't have to. Indeed, he sat longer in this game than he did the entire rest of the series.

 Rondo is playing out of his mind, with 19 assists that led to 45 points in game 2. His energy is the engine of this Celtics team. Rasheed Wallace also remembered how to be a factor in a play-off game. If we continue to see that consistency of effort (and a 7-8 night) then the Celtics bench again becomes a factor, and it will be difficult for any team (with perhaps the exception of an extremely deep Magic team) to beat the Celtics.

Pierce and Rondo look extremely tired -- not good for the Celtics. This bad news and bad start would continue as the Magic would have a 20 point lead in the 3rd quarter and this time they keep it, ending up with an ugly final score of 117-96!  As the Professor always says, if

Here's what C-Nation wants to see: we want Rondo driving to the hoop like he was all series (except for last game). We want Pierce being the captain that he is and taking control like he does in crucial moments. We want Ray Ray hitting his jumper (huge!) and Perkins and Big Baby Davis just doing what they do. And of course, we want to see KG back on the court working his magic.

alry, which I believe will happen for the playoffs for the next couple of years.  Our man Rondo got off the last shot in OT, but it was a jump shot, not what the Doc wanted, so double overtime it is.  Knowing Perkin's was out I was now scared this was slipping through our fingers and Straight from the jump, Bulls have possession, and throughout double OT they got the lead and kept it.  The Celtics continued to battle back but couldn't make up the difference.  They had a chance with Pierce's wing and a prayer three point attempt, but Solomon's' block shut it down.  So it is over and the final score in the game 121 - 118. So now it's time to move past this, and get ready for Tuesday.   This is the perfect time to go up 3 -2 and keep the Bulls on their toes.  (Keep in mind the longer we string this out, the longer KG will have to heal).

Kevin Garnett. Pierce, Ray Ray, and Rondo were solid as usual with Pierce scoring 21 with 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and Rondo scoring 20 with 6 assists and 2 steals, nice!! Meanwhile Perkins dominated the glass with 10 rebounds and 7 blocks as well as Big Baby doing his thing again with 19 points, a steal, and a crazy block, amazing! (The kid gets better with every start.) Then the Celts' bench did what they needed to do, and it was great to see Tony Allen back out there.

 Where would he find it?  Well, Lep, let me introduce you to Rajon Rondo.

Rajon Rondo (22 years-old) is a second year player out of the University of Kentucky. I saw enough of this young Wild Cat last year to determine that he may become a good back up point guard at best. After watching 51 games this year, my last year's assessment couldn't be more wrongdo.  Rajon has really impressed me this year. Although just a kid, he has developed faster than a picture in one of those $1 photo booths in the mall. But on a more serious note, Rajon's game is just a consistent jump shot away from making him one of the better point guards in the NBA.  Unfortunately, a consistent jump shot isn't going to just pop out of a slot for $1. It will take a lot of practice, and he'll have to take more shots than Ole Lep at a Celtics Championship Party, if he wants to be the next Shooter Mcgavin.
