I was able to watch the Celtics-Bulls game in its entirety tonight. Here is what I took away from the telecast.
- If you took “The Walking Dead”, replaced the zombies with aliens, and then dumbed the story down for TNT’s typical viewer, you would end up with “Falling Skies”, TNT’s new soon to be hit drama.
- Rajon Rondo should channel his inner Pedro Martinez and call Derrick Rose his daddy. Rose dropped 30 points, along with 5 boards and 8 assists, while Rondo struggled (7-5-6 in those categories).
- Without Shaq, Boston’s bigs can’t hang with Chicago. Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer are the perfect compliments for each other. Taj Gibson is talented enough to be starting for most NBA teams. Even the much-traveled Kurt Thomas is capable of giving the Bulls quality minutes if needed. This group isn’t as big as what the Lakers can roll out every night, but they aren’t far off skill wise.
- It was really difficult to tell if Boston actually cared about winning this game. Doc Rivers gave his bench heavy minutes in the second quarter. It doesn’t appear the Celtics care about ending up as either the #2 or #3 seed.
- If Luol Deng is your team’s second best player, you’re probably destined for a 1st round exit from the playoffs. If Deng is your 4th best player, you can absolutely win a championship.
- Everyone knows that Reggie Miller is an awful announcer (and if you don’t, you either never watch the NBA or you are an idiot), but it was really evident tonight when we are able to listen to Marv Albert work with Mike Fratello (aka The Czar).
