Not a good start. Our offense isn't being very smooth and our transition defense has been weak.

Rondo uptempo so far every possession. Love that. Let's see how long he can do it for.

Sully and Bass running. Feed the big man, and they'll run.

Wow. There is nothing wrong with Rondo's tempo now. He's running, he's hitting every cutter, every runner, every open 3pt shooter.

Some great basketball here. GREAT defense by Bayless on Carter-Williams, and YOung hits the 3. Love Young.

Bayless with the board to Green to Bass for the dunk. Beautiful 2 pass fast break.

A 34 point quarter.

56% vs 41%. Outgunning the runners.

25fgas vs 22fgas. Nice.

12rebs vs 11rebs
4 by Sully.
5 by Hawes.

13 assists vs 7.
Sully and Rondo with 4. Some GREAT high post passing by Sully. Bayless with 2.
2 for Hawes and Williams.

4 stls vs 1.
AB with 2.

2 TOs vs 6.
Green with both.
Hawes with 2.

6 fast breaks vs 4

14 points in paint vs 14.

12 points by Bradley on 5-8

Rondo looks good, huh.

Not anymore, Rosalie, not anymore.

Rondo looks EXCELLENT tonight.

dumb rookie mistake by Kelly.

bad call on Kelly. That was a good pick by him. Better than any I've seen by Vitor

Bayless has been playing excellent man-to-man on Carter-Williams all night.

If only...

Yeah, he's very tough. I didn't know he could hit 3s. Might be new this year.

I'd trade Green for him.

They certainly do play uptempo, don't they?

Bass has the best bail-out shot among the Celtics.

Whoa, a textbook alley oop pass by Rondo and an incredibly athletic finish by Jeff. Followed by a three from Jeff.
