They have to run more plays because they can't get their own shots/create shots like Kobe can, so by having to work the system to create scoring chances it makes almost everyone look more aggressive.
The Celtics window has officially closed - KG is basically playing with one leg and Rasheed Wallace has bigger cans than Jenna Jameson.
Unless Rondo magically becomes a 90% FT shooter instead of a 58% shooter they cant beat Cleveland, Orlando or maybe even Atlanta.

Exactly, they are MAYBE the 4th best team in the East
Yeah, the Celtics need to avoid the Atlanta Hawks (IMO). They don't matchup with those young legs as well as some of the other teams. If Ray Allen can stay playing well and Pierce and KG can stay healthy, their defense can carry them far. I wonder how A.Jamison will affect the Cleveland-Boston matchup (if Jamison can make a shot ).Celtics followed that game up by going up to Portland and blowing out the Blazers in a back to back game. KG looks like he has a little more pop in his legs on this road trip. They have clearly been pacing themselves,but now are starting to step it up.
Rondo is a monster,leading the league in steals,and getting assists and rebounds like a maniac. If they can get into the 2nd or 3rd slot and play the Magic in the second round, I think they get to the Eastern finals...and all bets are off. They are the only team in the east that can beat Lebron and co.
