Tonight, the Celtics take on the Rockets with new acquisition, Ron Artest.
This will be a good test for them because for me, like others, think Artest is the key for the Rockets not only because of the defense he plays, but for another consistent scoring option. The Celtics got smoked on the back end of a back to back game vs. Indiana, and I expect them to be well rested and return to form. Last year, if you remember, Rondo and Rafer Alston got into it before the game and I think Rondo will remember that and make Skip To My Lou pay. He'll be the Key to this game and if he can drive to the basket and draw Yao and maybe Artest to collapse there will be a lot of mid to three pointers open. I expect this to be Ray Allen's breakout game of the year.
Prediction:
Celtics 97-83
Tommy Award: Ray Allen
