Last night against the Cavs wasn't pretty, the game they lost to them earlier was worse, but we all need to recognize that the Celtics have won 5 of their last 6 games and are doing without Rondo.
There are some grumblings that Rondo could play tonight. He traveled with the team and Doc said... "With us, when you see a guy on the road, it means he's really close." So, maybe he will. That would be a huge boast for this team. They have been getting by with guys like Moore and Bradley, but it's just a matter of time before they will start feeling the effects of losing Rondo. I'd love to see him out there tonight, so he can get a game under his belt before the Celtics have to play the Knicks on Friday.
As for this game the Raptors are really bad. The Celtics beat them at the Garden 96-73. I don't usually like the Celtics playing on back-to-back days, but they are just a much better team then the Raptors (with or without Rondo). Last time these two teams played Bass had 13 points and 9 rebs, look for him to dominate down low again.
Celtics win 93-85
Tommy Award: Bass
