I'm laying the points with Boston on Sunday. I jumped on the defending champs shortly after they corrected their ways and have watched them tear through the league on a current seven-game win streak. I have mentioned several times on these pages that while Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce are obviously the main ingredients, it's Rajon Rondo who stirs the drink. During their 2-7 slide, Rondo couldn't get out of his own way. He truly struggled. But during their incredible run to start the season and once again over the last seven games, Rondo has been fantastic. The former Kentucky Wildcat has averaged 11.6 ppg, 9.1 apg, and just 3.3 tpg during the win streak. His solid, mistake-free play has allowed the stars on the team to concentrate solely on their own game, rather than having to pick up the slack. And for those who thought Boston's win streak was coming against a favorable stretch of opponents, take a look at their most recent win, a statement for sure in their 90-80 win at Orlando. The Celtics were simply nasty on the defensive end once again. They held the Magic to 38% shooting on their home floor. Boston also out-rebounded the Dwight Howard-led Magic, and forced Orlando into an 11-14 assist/turnover night. On Sunday afternoon, Boston plays host to a Dallas team that has been a tale of two teams this week. The Mavs were thoroughly embarrassed in a 133-99 loss to Milwaukee, then rebounded with a 112-91 blowout win at Detroit. But this will be their fourth roadie in seven days, not good for a team that's inconsistent on the defensive end. This month alone, the Mavs have held four opponents to 94 points or less. Yet two opponents have scored 128 points or more. The mental "let-ups" on the defensive end is one of the main reasons they can't get "over the hump." Playing defense every other time down the floor will not get it done against Boston. The Celtics play hard every second of every game. They're holding the opposition to 91 ppg at home, while scoring 104 ppg themselves. During the seven-game win streak, Boston has out-scored the opposition by an average of 103.4-to-88.3. In fact, six of their seven victims have scored 88 points or less! When Boston is on their game, specifically Rajon Rondo, they're as tough as it gets and they win by wide, spread-covering margins. Until I see a sign to "sell' - they're either a "play-on" team, or if the number is too high, a pass. The number is just fine on Sunday, and I'm playing ON the Boston Celtics.
