Game 7 Tragedy & Offseason wishes
Game 7 against the Orlando Magic was probably the worst playoff basketball the Celtics played this year. To much one on one games going on, despie scoring easily off ball movement at times, the team didnt play as a team enough. Ray Allen forced a lot of shots, rondo still didnt fight through screens and let alston take to many uncontested shots, Pierce had to get through double teams (so can't blame him for much) ...i don't know it just seemed like they wantes to play. Hats off to Marbury for being energized and actually attacking the basket, despite his 3 quick turnovers. One thing I didnt understand is why we were doubling so much in the post and not rotating quickly on shooters. Orlando shot well because a majority f their 3 pointers were uncontested. If Scal works on his ball handling and get some strength over the off season, he will be a great asset next year because he is a really good shooter and plays really aggressive defence. Big baby didnt really show up after the game winner, tried to do to much when he had the ball or was in foul trouble. Etc, etc....
Hopefully in the offseason they can work on the bench. Seems like wasted money having Walker, Giddens, Pruitt, Allen, Moore all on the bench and not even get any playing time. Hopefully its because most of them are young or its just a waste of money in my eye. There are a lot of good free agents on the market this year so hopefully Boston digs in there pockets and give this team more depth so we can be solid for a championship run next year.
Well looks like the C's get some extra rest this off season and hopeully use all the time to there advantage in getting better individually and as a team. I can not wait until next season to take the throne back! Celtic Pride 4 life...great season guys!
Rondo for MVP next year

Rajon Rondo
omg, to all the people comparing Rondo to D-Will and CP3 saying rondo is not on their level...i think rondo wins out of them because he can win games with steals, assists, and rebounds. In game 2 of the bulls its was rondo and big baby that held them in the game in the first half, not allen, not pierce, and you know KG's story. With out Rondo the Celts wouldnt be the celtics, he sets the pace and makes his teammates better no matter who it is. Rondo should be an all-star but you know the hype. Ive been to a celtics practice and watched him light everyone up on the team, he doesnt have to score big points like some guards, but he CAN if he HAD to...and people saying he cant shoot, he shot over 50% and has been hitting 3's..suck on that haters
