Tonight the Celtics started just like I thought they would. Rondo pushed the ball hard and Ray Allen had a hell of a night. However, early foul trouble sent Rondo to the bench for a majority of the game and the Rockets climbed back into it. Ron Artest still is the scariest player in the NBA for me(15 points, 7 rebounds and great defense) when T-Mac and Yao weren't producing he kept the team together. The funny thing about this game was when the stars were on the bench the role players stepped up huge for both teams, pretty boy Luis Scola had a hell of game with 21 points and Aaron Brooks was very impressive for the Rockets as he was lightning quick and contributed 12 points off the bench. For a majority of the game T-Mac, Yao, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett were held in check. Yao Ming was unimpressive as usual when he plays Boston only scoring 8 points.
Bostons whole starting lineup was in double digits Rondo had 10 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, KG had 14 points and 10 rebounds, Pierce had 13 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, Perk had 15 and 7 and red hot Ray Allen had 29, 5 and 5. Although when it came down to it Ray Allen stepped up big, he didn't miss and had the best game of the early season. Tony Allen and his usual terrible fouls at terrible times fouled T-Mac while he was shooting a three pointer, luckily T-Mac only hit 2 out of 3 and gave the Celtics a chance to make the lead into double digits. The end of the game was nerve racking but the game the good guys prevailed.

Oh yea, and Obama won
