Finally, after losing 5 in a row, the Celtics throttled the hopeless Toronto Raptors. I know the Raptors are a really bad team, but a win is a win and we at least didn't struggle.
Celtics starters set the tone with a big 1st quarter and put the game away in the 3rd. And the guy who led that unit is Rajon Rondo, who was aggressive, got to the line and finished the night with 21 points and only 2 assists (that seems weird). I don't know if I will ever understand Rondo, because I feel he could easily average 16 to 18 points a game if he just played like last night. He got to the line 11 times last night (making 7 of them) and was just on fire. The only thing that slowed Rajon was a hard foul by Linas Klieza. Rajon was decked by Linas Kleiza late in the 3rd quarter. When he hit the floor he landed on his right wrist. But he toughed it out and Rondo was able to take his free throws. Kleiza was hit with a Flagrant 1 foul. It is just a "sore wrist" and because BMack and I were at the game we didn't know the seriousness of the injury.
Hopefully he will be fine.
Ray and Paul both had off nights again totaling for 14 points total, but Paul did have 7 assists. KG had 15 and Jermaine played alright with 8 and 7.
I don't know what I think about Jermaine O'Neal. I want to like him, but I just can't. He obviously has his best days behind him, but I feel there is something still there.
We FINALLY got to see Jujuan Johnson. I have been wanting to see him all year, and although the game was a blowout when he came in, I like his game. He has a pretty decent jumper and got 2 rebounds and a block in 6 minutes of play. I'd like to see more of him, but Doc has his weird ways about him.
