I'm starting to worry about this bench a bit. Well mostly the lack of Big Game James. His size gave the team such an advantage. It just pains me to have to see Big Baby or Veal try and guard somebody like Corey Maggette.

We were fine once Tony came in. It took a while for Doc to go to the small ball, but it worked last night.

Yeah, there was no way Scal was going to be able to stay with Maggette. That was painful to watch. I don't know what Doc was thinking. I'm just glad he didn't take too long to take Scal off of Corey.

I'm hoping Bill Walker will be able to contribute off the bench at the SF position in the 2nd half off the season. IMO, he can stay with guys like Maggette. I hope we had a guy like Matt Barnes or Trevor Ariza. But with some experience, Walker can fill that role.

Great 2nd half by Rondo. Donny Marshall is right, The Celtics go as goes Rondo.

I don't think the Celtics go as Rondo goes.

That's giving Rondo far too much credit. 3 years ago the Celtics went as Paul Pierce went.

This year, the Celtics are hard to stop if Rondo makes open layups.

It's the diffrence between him filling the job of a roleplayer on offense or not doing his roleplayer duties on offense.

The Celtics go as Rondo goes...I thought this last year but I also thought I was proven wrong in the Finals.

I don't think its giving Rondo too much credit, though. He is our only true PG. We can't really replace what he does when he's not doing it.
