Re: Celtics
Few random Celtics notes:
1. Delonte hates passing to Gerald. He realizes that Rajon is the point guard of the future, and that Gerald is the future 2, and that he is destined to back-up combo guard, but wants to slow that process.
2. Rondo gets a lot of steals per minute, but beyond that forces tons of turnovers that he doesn't get credit for in the stat sheet, and saves a ridiculous amount of balls from going out of bounds. The amount of extra possessions he gives us on both side of the ball. Is anyone else not suprised he has the only postitive +/- on the Celtics??
3. Complain all you want about Gerald's lack of consistency, but he's getting almost 10 points per game in under 20 minutes per game, and is getting a lot better at drawing fouls.
4. Big Al recently defended Perk, saying that the things he does do not show up in the boxscore. Perk did a lot of the shutting down of Eddy Curry the other night, and does the boxing out so other guys can get rebounds. Big Al does better as the starting power forward than as a starting center (on both sides of the ball, and rebounding). Now imagine replacing Perk with Oden!!
5. We will make the playoffs next year no doubt.
