Don't look now the Celtics are 4-0 without Rondo and 2-0 without Jared Sullinger. I told you all, they aren't dead after Rondo went down and I truly believe they aren't. With Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and the depth Danny signed this offseason, they have enough people to pick up the slack for Rondo/ Sully.
Yesterday started great against the Chris Paul less Clippers, we were up 19 points on them, everyone who played was scoring, the ball movement was incredible and they were playing super aggressive defense.. Well like a lot of games this year it's a tale of two halves as the Clippers came roaring back and nearly won the game. In the second half the defense was sloppy, the offense stopped moving and if not for a clutch shot by Terry and of course Paul Pierce, who knows what the results would be. I need to call out Vinny Del Negro actually, what the hell was he thinking not fouling on that final play and being ok for Paul Pierce to dribble the ball and put up a shot with 2 seconds left, of course Pierce hit a step back three to kill any chance of comeback, but still weird call Vinny.
The Celtics bench had 52 points, and had 5 players that scoring in double digits. Jeff Green was amazing, Terry keeps improving and Barbosa was very effective as well.
Not Dead Yet!
