Still no official word on Chauncey Billups, but I'm going to assume he's not going to play and Toney Douglas will start. That changes the game a lot but should not be taken lightly. Douglas isn't Chauncey but he can still knock down a shot when open. So as much as I like Rajon's gambling ways, he needs to at least keep an eye on him.

The Celtics had a great win in game 1, but I'd like to see the offense get in sync, especially from Jeff Green. We got him in here to be a good bench scorer and I thought he would average between 10-15 a game and he hasn't done much at all. Jeff is invisible and he needs to be a ball hog in the 2nd unit, but since he hasn't been doing that all year, I guess the chances are slim to none.

But as we saw Sunday night the Celtics are a lot better when Rajon stays aggressive. When he wasn't in the 1st half the Celtics offense stalled, when he was aggressive the Celtics won the game. Rajon is going to play aggressive all game and the Celtics will dominate this game and the Knicks are going to have a huge game from Melo, who will take close to 30 shots because their won't be a Billups there to tell him to stop being a ball hog.
