Celtics vs Blazers Preview

Depth Chart

	Boston (PPG)	Portland (PPG)
PG	R. Rondo 10.5	A. Miller 12.9
SG	R. Allen 17.3	W. Matthews 16.2
SF	P. Pierce 19.1	N. Batum 12.0
PF	K. Garnett 15.1	L. Aldridge 21.1
C	K. Perkins 7.0	J. Przybilla 1.8

There are only 2 ways the Celtics don't win this game, 1st is if Aldridge has 100 points, and the 2nd is that if the Celtics look passed this game and play down to their competition.

The Celtics got surprised Monday when Kendrick Perkins came back and played pretty decently. He won't have much of a factor on the offensive end, but will surely have a presence on the defensive end. He could definitly help out on Lamarcus Aldridge. Anyways, Rondo should be able to blow by Andre Miller all game and sag off him on the defensive end. Rondo should come up with around 5 steals tonight by getting in passing lanes.

The Celtics win easily.

Celtics 109- 89
Tommy Award: Kendrick Perkins
