I really like Rondo. He can't shoot worth a lick, but he can defend, he can push the ball, and he can actually pass as well. Telfair is worthless and Delonte is more a 2 guard than a point. I hope Rondo gets more playing time down the stretch.

I just hope they dont trade away their young talent again like they did with Billups and Joe Johnson...

As much of a homer as I am, Rondo and G. Green are not the next Chauncey and Joe Johnson.

I do think that Rondo is a very capable starting point guard in the mold of TJ Ford, and that Gerald is going to be an excellent scorer off the bench for 20-25 mpg, but let's not go comparing the current guys to all-stars.

Al Jefferson on the other hand...

Just got back from the game tonight. Is there any reason at all to believe this team might actually be good sometime in the next 5 years or so?

I guess this is just desserts for us fans of one the proudest franchises in sports history when we were openly rooting for them to lose.

Jopke?

The Pats and Red Sox are competitive every year. It's great being a NE fan.

Notwithstanding my "just desserts" comment, I heard this proposal to change the draft lottery on the Radio this morning that I thought made sense.

1. Only bottom 5 teams eligible for lottery
2. Each get one ping pong ball
3. After the draw, the winning team gets the top pick and all the other teams draft in order of their respective finish.

So the worst that could happen in any given year would be a draft order of 51234. Since the lottery doesn't completely prevent tanking anyway, this seems a lot fairer.
