Going into last season there were doubters everywhere, in spite of the Celtics being favored to win it all. The Celtics should once again be favorites to win it all this season, but the doubters have already started to question this team and their ability to repeat.

Does this ever look like a mismatch! Kevin Garnett had one of his best games of the season with 26 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 4 blocks. Rondo and KG connected on 2 spectacular alley oops which seems to becoming one of their regular plays. Paul Pierce had just 16 points, 5 ...

This game was anticipated as a test for Rondo against another of the top PG's in the league. I'd have to say Rondo won this one handily as he finished with 25 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, and 3 steals. Williams was not even close with 15 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists,...

That's right Detroit. We have our own annoying chant. Get used to it. You Got Rondo'd.
