This was a sort of win and comeback good teams get occasionally. No way we could of taken this kind of game last year or earlier in the season.

Good vibes to hit the road on.

Good win overall. I wish we did not turn it over so much. Rondo is showing night in and night out he can run an offense and make the correct plays most of the time.

Quality win against a quality opponent!

If we play defense like that all year we will be competing for a playoff spot. Now if we could just stop with the silly turnovers!

Ben was more steady as the game went on.. I'm more proud of the 4 boards and that assist. Efforts like this and we can tolerate the growth.

Rondo makes the entire team better

Rondo is the glue of this team. Straight up.

Good call on Rondo guys. You can see our space occasionally get terrible, Marco moving a great deal and setups for him that break the defense down, and every player on the court needs to be guarded with Rondo on the court as he can even find WCS for buckets.

Rudy seems to be getting more efficient too which is nice to see.

I'll be nervous with the Rondo and Collison at the same time however until they show me something. They've looked stagnant with both of them in the lineup.

Yeah. I'm a huge DC fan. I consider him one of the best backup PGs in the league and even a solid starter on certain teams. But there is a part of me that wonders if Rondo and DC can play at their optimum together

Yeah, I thought Bens game was one of the best things about the win. He played in that limited role the way it needs to be played. He played hard on defense and made plays when needed.

Rondo has been playing some great ball, the only thing I can criticize about him right now are the turnovers. He gets all the way in the paint and gets stuck a lot with those jump passes where he can't do anything but turn it over. I'd like to see him keep his dribble a little longer and either run the baseline completely if it's not there or try for one of those pretty reverse layups. Ben didn't have quite the game he did against Brooklyn but I think he still played a lot better than he has been, the defense was looking really good. Once he starts knocking down those corner 3's on a consistent basis we should be a really good team (that goes for Belinelli too whose been in a slump). We've been giving up a lot of points but I think that's more of an issue with the turnovers and poor(er) offense than it is with the defense because we've looked really solid on that end.

I'd like to see our guys trust Rondo more in the last few minutes. I thought Belinelli and Gay tried to make plays once the game started getting tight...trust the PG...get him the ball and trust HE will make the right play for the team. He doesn't get shaken

One thing I've also noticed is Omri dropping timely, clutch baskets like every game. His game has improved greatly and his shooting percentages but it really seems like when the team needs to start a run or stem the tide Omri is dropping momentum shots. But it might just be perception
