And if Rondo doesn't play the game of his life, the Celts would have been blown out. I fully expect Boston to win game 2 because rarely does the higher seeded team not bounce back hard after losing game 1. But this series doesn't look good for Boston if the Bulls keep playing with decent chemistry. Clearly not having KG out there barking and snapping at them affects the Celts players on defense. He is the heart and soul of that team.
What a shocker. Derrick Rose picked a good time to raise his level of play. The kid can score a lot of points if he wants to, but he knows that he's a point guard first. That's what's special about him.
I'm glad Boston lost. That idiot Pierce is a little too full of himself. Before last year, Boston had one of the worst records in the league with Pierce leading them. They get KG and Ray Allen for nothing and the dude thinks he is in the same league as Kobe and Lebron. The guy is garbage without another superstar covering his ass.
what has kobe done without shaq, or before getting pau gasol ??? no one can do anything alone man PP did go to the ECF even before KG and Jesus got there....
You are being a little harsh. He did lead the Celtics to the Eastern Conference Finals one year with such "superstar" talent as Antoine Walker. He's a damn good player who thinks he's better than he is.
with KG injured, this pretty much gives Cleveland a free pass to the finals. I really don't want Cleveland to win the Champs trophy...the league and media is already sucking on lebron's balls so much already that if 'he' (team) wins the finals, man everybody would be claiming that him to be the best player ever....
Actually, the celtics' defense is still not good. If they cannot defend the bulls well, they won't win this series.
wth are the bulls doing in their last possession? lose handle on dribble and then throw up a bad pass. 6 pt game, but the bulls missed many easy layups under the basket. The Celtics still look bad.
The Bull play poorly. 1st qtr Rose got 2 early fouls and sat on the bench for a long stretch. They misses layups after layups. Even that, the Bulls now have the lead by 1, 36:35. That's shocking. That's how bad the Celtics are playing.
For all of you that think height and athleticism are overrated, its the only reasons the bulls are in the game right now.
