Rajon Rondo, yes Rajon Rondo, led the Boston Celtics tonight to a 96-89 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Rondo, who is constantly getting attacked by me, dropped 20 points on the Cavs with 13 assists and only one turnover. Before Boston fans get all giddy with their “I told you so” routine, let the people know this was his first good game of the series. And for NBA players to prove themselves in this league, they need to play well on the road. Kendrick Perkins is still a piece of crap and totaled one whole point as the starting center.
Kevin Garnett was huge as per usual. He’s been Boston’s best player every single night. Tonight he went for 26 points and 16 rebounds. Pierce came out of his shell and led the Celtics with 29 points. Pierce has been pretty much MIA on the offensive side of the ball, but he is doing a great job (and spending most of his energy) in defending Lebron. Overall a solid performance by Boston tonight after finding themselves down by 14 points in the second quarter.
Lebron who started hot, cooled down in the third quarter and has yet to really find his game that propelled the Cavs into the NBA Finals last year. He remains the only threat on Cleveland that can score and finished with a game high 35 points.
Zydrunas Ilgauskas had one of the worst shots I have ever seen. From about 17 feet out he decided to turn and shoot a fade-away that almost hit the ceiling. The ball fell a good 3 feet short and there was probably about 10 seconds left on the shot clock. What does Ron Burgundy think about that shot?

What is the deal with NBA teams not being able to win on the road this year? Besides Detroit, not one of the other seven teams in the Conference semi-finals has won a road game. Is home court this much of an advantage? Hopefully, Boozer and the Jazz can have a say in this tonight in L.A.
