Celtics Win 107-97

Rondoooooooooooo... that is all! Rondo came up big when they needed him too plain and simple. He became a scorer tonight and took over the game.

KG was stroking it tonight. He went 9-11 from the field and hit 4 in a row at the end to help seal the big win down in TX.

Side note: Kristic did not return with a knee injury from the 2nd quarter and they said it did not look good. Not ACL but mide sideline him until playoffs....Where is Shaq when ya need him

Halftime

After one half the c's are tied to the San Antonio Spurs at 49. I honestly don't know howwww. The only good thing i've seen is J.O'neal coming back. The issue that i've had with the team tonight is they are just playing lazy. Rondo needs to set the pace and he isn't doing that. He is 5 for 11 with 10 points. He needs to push the floor and find the shooters...Ray..in transition. Ray is currently 0 for 4 with 2 points (from the line). Sugar Ray as been shooting poor as of late and he needs to get it together by the postseason. 

Kristic went out with a knee injury. It buckled when he came down on it wrong going for a rebound the ball. Hopefully it's not to serious because the c's cannot afford another big man being out this time of the year. 

P.S Shaq hopeful for Tuesday vs. Philly....yeah right

Just love the Song

I love this song and I just wanted to share! Enjoy!!

A Win is a Win

Yes there are some teams that the Celtics should be beating no problem. Considering that the Celtics pretty much have one of the easiest schedules left in te NBA. Either way, however, as long as they are putting more w's in the win column then it doesn't really matter to me.

Anytime all the national broadcasters try to analyze a close game with a bad team they try to tell you that the team is not good anymore because they almost lost. This is complete bull! Teams are allowed to have some tough games along the way. I'd like to see some of these broadcasters..the ones who didn't play...try to go through an NBA season

The good teams are the ones that win the games no matter what the situation...so a good example is probably the complete opposite of the Miami Heat. Sorry Lebron it's true.

Arroyo Signing

IT IS A GOOD PICKUP!

Carlos Arroyo was signed by the Green on March 5 and it makes a lot of sense to me for a few reasons:

1) We needed another guard while Delonte is still out, and when he's back Arroyo just adds more depth to the back court and doesn't force Doc to play Bradley a lot.

2) Bradley isn't ready. He doesn't have the NBA instinct yet to run an offense in the Playoffs when Rondo isn't on the floor.

3) Arroyo can be a spark plug. He can penetrate the defense and get our shooters their shots. He is also capable of making his shot when given it.

4) He knows how to lead..even if it is by example. When he played for Puerto Rico he led his team to a 92-73 win over the United States..their first defeat since Professionals were allowed to play. He has the leadership skills to lead that team to a victory over states..he can run an NBA offense in the post season when needed...end of story!

Arroyo won't see many minutes once Delonte comes back.. he will be the 3rd option...but he might see some time with Rondo and him at the 2 spot. Or even Arroyo and Delonte running the show to given Rondo some rest in the middle of games. Either way, Arroyo will be useful and definitely fits.

Good So Far!

Th trade deadline has come and gone and it's given us all time to settle down about all these hectic trades. So far it's looking pretty good. Kristic has been doing well with with starters and Jeff Green has been playing well coming off the bench as the 6th man ( Due to Baby's injury).

These guys will need to maintain this performance until the o'neals are healthy once more....so probably at least until playoffs. Shaq was supposed to play on Wednesday last week but they kept him out due to his previous foot injuries flaring up at practice. In other injury news, Delonte is healing from his sprained ankle and should not be out much longer.

Another notable is Avery Bradley. He is getting some extra minutes due to injuries and he is playing well. He has been able to get to the basket and score some points, and has played some pretty solid perimeter defense. He is shaping up be a good player  

Murphy Signs!

Troy Murphy is the newest member of the green! He has signed after much debate between Miami or Boston...wise choice Troy. Banner 18 is a step closer!

If not Troy then Who?

Troy Murphy seems like the logical signing during this buy out period of the season. The 6'11 big man was bought out my Golden state and is torn whether to join Wade and the heat in south beach or ship up to Boston....Troy come on...Miami?

if Troy does decide to go play in south beach who would the celts go for? Leon Powe is still in discussion and rumor is he does want to come back. He wishes he didn't have to leave and he thinks that he can come and help the team because he knows the system already. In my opinion, this is a no brainer for Danny..get it done!

Another name that has just come up is Corey Brewer who was bought out by New York. I think he would be a decent fit. He would be here mainly for his perimeter defense..like a Tony Allen...to provide solid D when Paul needs his rest. However, he can score too; Just don't expect a double double from him every night.

Out of all the rumors Murphy still is the top choice..considering he is the reason Perk is no longer with us...

I must had too, Perk just doesn't look right in that Thunder Uniform..r.i.p Perk we love you
