Some thoughts from the first quarter...
I love the way the Celtics have come out so far. It seems like every road game they go down by ten points and can't buy a bucket. Ray Allen has hit two three-pointers and another deep jumper, but he isn't settling. He also had a strong left handed finish in the lane.
Rajon Rondo is absolutely getting destroyed on the defensive end of the floor by Chauncey Billups. If that keeps up, the C's will over shift and there will be wide open shooters. Hopefully, it's Pierce coming to help, because Tayshuan Prince couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at this point. There was even a brief Cassell sighting. Yikes! Rondo needs to get it together.
Kendrick Perkins 0 points 2 rebounds in the first quarter? He may be feeling some ill affects from his season high 39 minutes in a monster Game 5.
On the other hand, Rip Hamilton is on fire and the elbow looks healthy. Another good thing for Pistons fans, it doesn't look like he is showing any ill affects from that broken nose he suffered five years ago...
I'll see you at half time.
Statistical (and nervous) breakdowns from fans of Danny's boys.

Ian still calls it the Fleetcenter. He doesn't love Walter.
