I am really hoping Boston is knocked out in the first round. That might send management into full rebuild mode and decrease Rondo's value. A couple more suspensions from Rondo and getting swept in the first round wouldn't hurt either.
If Allen doesn't come back soon, they will lose the series. They couldn't shoot last night. Allen was sorely missed. With Rondo and Allen out for Game 2, it forces Pierce to go into beast mode if he still has it in him. We'll see how it goes. I don't think Boston will win the series.
I thought Boston would win when I saw that Allen would be back. Now that he won't be 100% for the playoffs even if they let him play I just don't see them beating Atlanta.
I think if it plays out that way we could have a chance. We will be under the cap and could take Rondo off their hands for just two lotto picks. Boston needs to rebuild and I bet they would be interested in cap space and two good young players. Hell they could go after DWill.
