We don't need you bi-otch! That was the message sent to Sam Cassell and the Clippers as the Celtics won another impressive game without KG. The Celtics remain undefeated in the West, and proved tonight that the team is in safe hands with Rondo at the helm. Rondo was the story of the game as he scored a career high 24 points, 8 assists, and 5 boards, and 4 steals. Sam Cassell on the other hand, had a dismal 10 points and 3 assists. He did have one malicious foul on Rondo where he choke-slammed the Celtics guard, to prevent him from making an uncontested layup. Cassell was ejected from the game, and despite heavy bleeding, Rondo brushed it off and finished the game strong. There has been speculation that Sam Cassell is the answer to the Celtics point guard position. Tonight Rondo dominated the game and dispelled any belief that Cassell is better.
Here's a quick 4 reasons we DONT need Cassell:
2. He looks like Dick Bavetta. By the trasitive property, Dick Bavetta Looks like an alien.
3. He hard fouled Rajon Rondo a like a "Nancy".
4. Trading for him runs the risk that during an important playoff game he may get distracted by his own boloney-bayonet.
The other story of the game was the Celtics bench. WIth Pierce still hurting from the flu and KG out, the Celtics went to their bench early and it paid off baby. They scored 44 frickin' points. Notably, Tony Allen had 17 and LEON POWE continues his domination of the NBA with a double double of 13 and 10. The bench was so good, that the starters got to rest the entire fourth quarter. Pierce played only 24 minutes while Ray played 30.
Now its no secret that the Clippers suck, but the fact that the Celtics smoked them primarily with their bench, and that Rondo played the game of his life, made this a great game for Boston. More importantly, Rondo's performance caught the attention of Gollum himself, as after the game Cassell said he would have no problem playing behind Rondo in Boston. This was the best case scenario. Rondo and the Celtics embarrassed the hell out of the Cassell, showing him foremost that they don't need his ugly-38 year old ass, but at the same time letting him know that if he wants to get the hell out of LA and join a contender, he knows where to find them. The Celtics sure as heck don't need Cassell, but if he comes crawling to Boston on all fours, he could be a great asset as a back-up point guard.
NEXT GAME: Friday night, the Celtics take on their Western Conference offspring as KG makes his return to Minny in a suit and tie.Source URL: https://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2008/02/suck-it-you-alien-looking-freak-celtics.html
