Things I didn't see coming 2 weeks ago
1. Rajon Rondo turning into a real star and having Magic Johnson-type games. Great job in the 2006 draft by Isiah trading what turned out to be the 2nd pick (for fat, gay slob Eddy Curry) and missing out on LaMarcus Aldridge or Brandon Roy and with the 21st pick selecting Reynaldo Balkman rather than Rajon Rondo who went 22nd. 2. LeBron James either being struck with clinical depression and playing like a zombie or becoming the worlds biggest ***** 3. Mike Brown going to the rarely seen 11 man rotation. Brown being outcoached wasn't a stretch but this badly by Doc Rivers is inexcusable. Not to mention Rivers had his team breathing fire(except 4th quarter of game 1 and the game they mailed in) and Brown sat passively while Rome burned. 4. The complete domination of Jamison by KG. I didn't think the 2010 version of KG had that kind of series left in him. Though the story is James and his mystery lethargic attitude along with pending free agency, you have to give credit to Boston for winning virtually every matchup. And that is with Paul Pierce playing horribly. They outhustled Cleveland, they beat them to loose balls, hit big shots and deserved to win. But I still think this was probably the last hurrah and they are going to be in serious decline unless they have a major roster shakeup. Replacing Allen is going to be hard and resigning him is suicide. Pierce looked very bad this series and who knows how many more great series KG has left in him. Perkins is a solid defensive center and Rondo showed he can take it to a new level but the rest of the team is very hit or miss. If I were Ainge I would poison Rasheed Wallace and hope to get away with it rather than have him around for another year and Finley is a cooked goose. Big Baby is nothing more than a role player as is Tony Allen. Nate is Nate but that aint much and forget the rest. Cleveland is screwed anyway you look at it.
