Win #1: U-G-L-Y
The C's picked up a win last night but it wasn't a game without it's problems. The Celtics have now officially given up (thankfully) small ball and (unfortunately) trying to run. (Ainge went on EEI saying we don't have the players to have a running game.) Rajon Rondo has found the pine and Delonte West has regained his spot as our closing point guard (Telfair still starts). As much as I don't think Delonte's a point guard, I do think that to play Rondo right now means you have to switch up your system a bit. His lack of shooting ability allows his man to clog the lane or double elsewhere. This creates a problem that IMO is bigger than the positives Rondo supplies. Brian Scalabrine and Tony Allen are not only playing, but they are on the court together. West, Allen, Green, Veal, and Kandi has got to be the worst rotation any team will put out in the NBA this season.
On a side note, the Suns, Mavs, and Nuggets continue to struggle. If this goes on any longer, David Stern needs to create a Duncan Watch to make sure that these teams' stars don't suddenly all get "hurt" with season ending injuries in hopes of landing Oden.
