That was a terrible game by the Celtics tonight. As a Celtics fan I would like to apologize to all of you who tuned in expecting a great game 7. The Celtics just dropped the ball tonight. It was such a sloppy game...
Anyways, good series by the Magic and I wish them luck against the Cav's, they'll need it...

What Would Don Draper Do?
I'm really looking forward to both series. Great match ups.

I only got to catch some of the 2nd quarter of the Magic game and it was a very poor stretch. Starbury had a couple of brainless turnovers, easy dunk by the Euro dude from the Magic, bad shot selection by Boston. Was this representative of the game?

I am disappointed with the Celtics loss, but I feel really good about next year. Breakout performances by Rondo and Big Baby. Perkins pretty much showed the rest of the league he can match up with Howard through most of this series. Next year we will hopefully have a healthy KG returning and even though all those guys are 1 year older, so are the young guys.
At this point Rondo has to be considered a top 5 if not top 3 PG in the league.

Just thought I'd share this excerpt from espn regarding the Martin-Cuban fiasco:
"He's a coward," Martin said about Cuban, according to HoopsHype.com. "He couldn't face it. You all read the only apology that he's made [on his blog].
"The world got to see it before the person who it was meant for got to see it. That tells you how that goes. I ain't never known nobody apology to somebody through other people."
Say what?

after chris paul and deron williams, rondo just may be at 3rd. his confidence level has really impressed since the beginning of last season's playoffs.

I'm intrigued by the Nuggets/Lakers series. I hope Kobe gets abused and Melo goes ballistic

IMO, I think someone like Felton could do with Rondo is doing with those surroudings. Rondo is a top 10 at BEST. Top 5:
Deron Williams
Chris Paul
Steve Nash
Tony Parker
Chauncey Billups
Honorable Mention: Baron Davis
Honestly, did Boston fans think they had a chance to repeat without KG?

Nash was great, he still is good, and definitely top 10 but I don't think he is top 5 anymore. Rondo is a better defender and is just too fast for Nash to keep up. Rondo has played well against all of those guys listed
Rondo also outplayed him both times they played this season. Including a game without KG...

Also to say that I thought the Celtics had no chance would stupid. They were still the defending champs and even without KG they can still make some noise. Sure it was a slim chance, but it was still a chance.
