How many of his drives did you miss? Or his hustle, which to me is already better then some on this team. And, his defense isn't something I would complain about.

Those point guards are a joy to watch. Rondo really played well today. Hitting big shots as well as playing good defense. That being said I still think the offense runs smoother with Telfair out there. His court vision is something that you just don't see often. Once he stops making silly fouls and turnovers, he can be special. His jumper and defense look a lot more consistent as well.

What really has me encouraged is that both Telfair and Rondo totally outplayed TJ Ford(a guy who got 15 and 6 last season). I can't wait to see how this team looks when West and Sczerbiak get back. Somebody will lose minutes.

I dont see any reason for cutting Allan Ray. He made a few mistakes last night, but the kid can score. His ability to shoot to ball should get him a roster spot. If we were short on guards, he wouldnt be a bad pickup, but we're going to have jam there as it is.

Again...good to read the feedback. Was not able to see this game. Among other things I love what I am hearing about Telfair and Rondo once again. Been a while since we had even one true young PG. Looks like we'll have 2 fighting it out.

In fairness, you can say the same thing about West or Szczerbiak. If their shots aren't falling there's no real reason for them to be on the floor. I think Ray should spend the year in the minors working on his handles, he looks like he could be a long term replacement for West if/when they decide to make a deal to get Pierce some help.

While what you say is more or less true, E.H., Szczerbiak is one of the elite shooters in the NBA (and West no slouch in his own right), not a guard fresh out of college.

You do realise that the Raptors outdraw the Celtics, no? (and have for at least the last three seasons)

Right. Pierce is for the end of games and we don't need to worry about the playoffs anyways.
