Oh well...
Tough loss for the Celtics. Ray Allen couldn't hit the broad side of the barn (and spent most of the first half dribbling around with no purpose) and the Celtics opted for a ridiculous defensive strategy to start the game. Letting Jameer go right and forcing him into the lane made no sense whatsoever. The C's have been one of the best defensive teams in the league so far, why make such an odd decision to actually let a guy penetrate?
Besides that, watching Tony Allen play has gone from frustrating to depressing. He simply doesn't have the same athleticism as he once did. Hopefully he can get it back.
On the bright side, Rondo's shot looked great, the C's played like crap for a half and still almost won. and it ends the streak (which was getting too much hype and was probably going to become more of a burden that it was worth).
