Put Hinrich on Rondo as much as possible. Shut him down for enough time and BOS doesn't have enough to beat them.

edited to add;

Oh and everybody should get a laugh out of this;

Daily Herald | Rivers argues illegal-screen fouls not being called both ways

It's hard to guard guys like Rondo & Parker these days. That's why you need to give and get. It seems everyone but Joe Dumars realizes this. I'm sure he is locked in the war room right now watching tapes of some 6'4 dude from a small school who played SF but looks like he'll make a nice guard somewhere down the road.

I would absolutely make a run at Hinrich.

...A Hinrich maneuver?

Certainly better than a Powell movement...

Dang Rondo is great.....

If Ben Gordon wants to come to Detroit as our sixth man off the bench he is a super upgrade over Mo Evans, Jarvis Hayes and Walter Herman IMO..

Rumor is he wants more than $10M. That's kinda steep price.

Man, they shoulda called a flagrant on that one. The fact that they didn't is BS. It is what it is. I watched the replay 6 times. Rondo never had any intention of going for the ball.

However, I'm impressed with the Celtics' desire to win. Pierce is a cold-blooded assasin.

He was trying to hit the rim. Except he was aiming for the second one he was seeing.

Dhow took out his own player too with the other elbow....Sixers have to win game six now..

Rondo smackdown of Brad Miller wasn't even considered a flagrant...

That's a travesty...it was every bit as blatant as Dho's whack.

Tyrus Thomas perhaps?
