Clippers Vs Celtics Preview

Yup, that was the last time the Celtics played the Clippers. It was the worst game in Rajon's career. First he missed 2 free throws to win the game, than he got dicked on by Baron for the game winner. Shit happens, but now we have Kevin Garnett back. The Clippers are a decent team, with decent players, but lets call a spade a spade here, The Celtics are just that much better.

Here are the lineups:
PG B. Davis 16.0 R. Rondo 14.1
SG E. Gordon 17.0 R. Allen 16.0
SF A. Thornton 11.5 P. Pierce 18.8
PF M. Camby 8.2 K. Garnett 14
C C. Kaman 20.4 K. Perkins 12.1

I'm going to focus on Rondo today figuring he's under the most scrutiny. This will be a big challenge tonight, and if he holds Baron Davis (a bigger guard) to a bad game all of his critics will be quieted quickly. BMack and I both agree that we don't really care if he gambles, but he needs to find a way to cut in on his opponents assists. I think KG's presence will be felt, and it won't be easy for Baron to have a huge game, but I don't want the defense to collapse every time he has the ball either. However, the Celtics will and should win this game. No more excuses.

Celtics 108-97
Tommy Award: Rajon Rondo
