RONDO'S BETTER

CELTICS DECIMATE DISMAL PISTONS... AGAIN; KWAME BROWN STILL PLAYS IN THE NBA

The Pistons' decision to trade their best player for a player that the mediocre Nuggets were desperate to jettison appears to have been a bad one. But hey- this is the team that drafted Darko and signed Kwame Brown, so you have to have a "wait and see" attitude with their every move because you know there is some kind of delicate genius behind it that will only be appreciated long after we are dead.

But in the short term, damn- the Pistons suck. I know that they are 8-4, which is a good record, but they look listless, out of sorts, and just as dubious about the Pistons' overall strategy of sucking this season in the hope that they will eventually sign Lebron as we are.

Rondo was all over the place again- 18 points, 8 assists, and 3 steals. Tony Allen was unstoppable, really, 6-7 from the floor with a nice jam as well. Pierce played pretty crappy (9 points, 2-9 shooting) but who gives a crap. The Pistons used to be a measuring stick team, now they are a good team for Popcorn O'Bryant and Gabe Pruitt to get some minutes in. Scals had a nice 3, extending his consecutive games with a three ball streak to a career-record 2. Big Baby was throwing shots up like a maniac but redeemed himself with a Hakeem-style running fingerroll across the lane to finish 1-6 from the floor. Awesome. I am starting to expect an outrageous Big Baby bucket at the end of all the Celtics blowouts of hated rivals.

The only bad thing about this game was Rodney Stuckey's sterling -234534 fantasy point performance for my fantasy team, the Indianapolis Strip Club Fracas. Thanks for stepping in for Deron Williams, ass.

UP NEXT: Head down to Foxwoods if you want to hang with AI, he'll be there until three hours before his next game. As for the Celtics, they're at the Timberwolves tomorrow night, in the back end of the hated home game/away game back to back. Nice that the starters didn't play much, but bad that the garbage time guys went so hard tonight, they're going to be gassed for garbage time tomorrow. Prediction: Celtics 184, Timberwolves 7Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2008/11/rondo-better.html
