The injury to Rondo is most unfortunate. I have been critical and also have cited trade scenarios that would bring us back additional talent in key areas. I have stated that the team should be built around the ethos of KG and his heir apparent Avery Bradley and not Rajon Rondo.

With Rondo down, I think this is a HUGE opportunity for Courtney Lee and Leandro Barbosa and the double overtime thriller against the heat is exactly the kind of play we want going forward.

The Celtics are up to the task. They should not over-react, and if they think they need anyone we should re-sign Delonte West ASAP.
