The Small Three

The Basketball Jones is running through 30 teams in 30 hours and had this to say about the Celtics :

Screw it. Enough analysis of the analyses of The Big Three. What ever happened to sticking up for the little guy? Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins and Tony Allen are on this team and are going to have an impact on the outcomes. Some keys to success - Rondo: don’t turn it over, don’t shoot. Perkins: don’t turn it over, refrain from shooting if you can’t touch the rim. Allen: don’t turn it over, don’t shoot, only dunk during game play. Be safe, look both ways before crossing the lane and good luck!

I agree that these guys are the key. However…

I want to see Tony needs to prove he can bury the long jumper. I think his improved 3 point shooting was a large part of his increased offensive production last year before he got injured.

Rondo must attack the rim. If he becomes too passive his speed and ball handling become moot. The more respect Rondo gets as an offensive threat, the more effective he will be as a distributor.

Don’t forget Posey and House. Scals and Pollard also need to be factors, as well as Powe and Big Baby. GPA can’t do anything unless it’s a full team effort and the preseason has shown that this is all possible.
