Yes, matchups will have to change but imo the starting matchups at start of each period are key...setting pace and momentum.

I've held a belief since game 2 of lakers/suns, that winner of that matchup would win the finals. To me, the most overlooked individual of this series is Phil Jackson, given the opportunity to exact revenge, he has his Jordan and imo, better role players (this season) than with bulls. This is the recipe for a great series

Interesting most of the night Fisher was on Rondo and did a good job on him (actually all you have to do is stay off of him he's not a good shooter).

Rondo isn't a shooter. His points come from the paint. He is first and foremost a playmaker.

Celtics gave up midway through the 3rd quarter, and were in foul trouble before the half.

Well...he's def' a playmaker but i don't think it's fair to say he isn't a shooter, he may not be a pure shooter, but he's a shooter. Whomever guards him won't give him open looks 'cause point guards like Rondo only need free throws or jumpshots to catch a spark...and he's young enough that a spark from him could remain consistent long enough to ignite his entire squad.

He is no Ray Allen... one of the "purest" shooters ever (no 2 in all time 3-point field goals made). However, Rondo will drain it if you let him.

Let's just say his strong point is NOT shooting but he will take a shot if he has to. He likes to drive and do floaters.
