Game 2 - Rondo killed the C's, a lot of bad passes, bad fouls, just wasn't his usual well-composed self. Ray Allen almost started to get going but then got in foul trouble and disappeared all over again. Rodney Stuckey was money off the bench. Where was Sam Cassell? Rondo was killing you guys and you bring in Eddie House when you know he can't handle the ball? What the hell was that? What kind of doghouse is Cassel in that you don't hand him the ball and say go score some points? That game was made for him! Was he hurt or something?
Game 3 - All the Pistons were off. Chauncey was isn't in to it, Rip wasn't getting position, Tayshaun wasn't hitting his jumpers. I didn't think the C's played that great, I thought Detroit just stunk it up at home. Rondo was fine, Posey, PJ pitched in, they stole one on the road.
Game 4 - Didn't see it but it looks like the Pistons came out hot--damn, Maxiell's block on KG will live on in beer commercials for years to come!--and the C's mailed it in.
Game 5 -- What's next? I think the Celtics have regained control of this series. The Celtics are at their best when Rondo plays well. When Rondo's right they're all right, but when he's off they're out of sync and its up to KG to go for 30, which isn't really his game. Going back to Boston I think Rondo plays mistake free, Allen gets off enough to be a factor, Pierce goes nuts and C's cruise in the 4th. Or maybe not, we'll see. I don't see McDyess coming on the (fake) parquet and going for 20 again so until Chauncey really rises up the Pistons just aren't quite the Pistons.
