The Celtics rookies have been very active on the court but they haven’t shot the ball too well. Rajon Rondo (37.9%) and Allen Ray (37.2%) have been the main offenders. Rondo has played in 65 games this season and he’s averaged 5.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 20.8 minutes per game. He’s been a stellar defender but he has a ways to go to be a good offensive player for the Celtics. Allen Ray has started to get a little more playing time as of late but he’s only averaged 5.2 points and 1.4 rebounds in 12.5 minutes per game. Leon Powe hasn’t got much of a chance to play but it looks as if he’s got some game. He has played in 50 games and he’s averaging 3.3 points and 2.9 rebounds in only 9.5 minutes per game. The Celtics should be playing him more and Brian Scalabrine less.

The Celtics only shot 36.4% from the floor and they allowed the Mavericks to hit 56.4% and that is what did them in last night. Paul Pierce only shot 5 of 18 from the floor but he still wound up with 30 points because he was 19 of 21 from the free throw line. Gerald Green backed up Pierce with 19 points and 4 rebounds.

The Celtics fell to 20-49 on the season with this loss. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore?gid=2007032302

The Celtics played great on defense as they held the Spurs to 37.3% from the floor last night and that’s why they won. Paul Pierce led the way for the Celtics with 30 points and 5 rebounds. Delonte West (23 points, 4 assists) and Al Jefferson (20 points, 12 rebounds) each also played really well on offense for the Celtics.
