Hey, Cleveland's title dreams, say hello to your worst nightmare

On Monday night, Rajon Rondo was, once again, the best player on the floor, as the Celtics continued their dominance over the Cleveland Cavaliers.  As elated as I am that the Celtics head back to the Gahhhden with the series tied at 1-1, it's hard to not to think that we should actually hold a 2-0 edge.  The Celtics have taken it to Cleveland for 7 out of 8 possible quarters in this series, reminding the rest of the league that the boys in green are legitimate title contenders.  Prior to this series, all ten ESPN NBA analysts picked the Cavaliers to roll over the Celtics, with several actually calling for a four-game sweep....pfffft, nice work boys, but I wouldn't have expected any less from the same blo-hards that said we would get fleeced two years ago in the NBA finals.  Aside from Rondo's performance, and the broadcaster's mentioning Lebron's elbow over 400 times during the telecast, Rasheed Wallace's effort may have been the biggest story of the night.  Wallace finished the game with 17 points, in only 18 minutes, off the bench for the C's, and in the process, managed to get everyone off his lazy-ass for at least a few days.  Honestly, I didn't see an increase in effort at all, I just think his shots were falling, albeit a refreshing sight after a dismal shooting year for the back-up center.  Apparently the lashing from Kevin Garnett that Wallace received may have worked wonders.  I know KG demands a great deal of attention anyways, but when he approaches you in the shower, of all places, you're bound to listen, apparently.  Kevin is a pretty frightening figure on the court, and I'm guessing that get's taken to a whole new level when it's just you, him, and....nothing else, literally.  Also, kudos to Celtics President Danny Ainge for not only being the architect of this team, but one of their most passionate fans.  Late in the third quarter of Game 2, Danny was seen throwing a towel in the air, while Cavs forward J.J. Hickson attempted a free throw.  Gotta hand it to the man, he was one of the more annoying/get under your skin players during his career, and seems to have succesfully carried that over during his tenure as a member of the Celtic's brass.  This guy is a true Celtic, and I'm guessing that will be the last time the Cavaliers will seat him so close to one of the baskets.  He'll likely get fined, but at least this story has partially trumped the status of Queen James' elbow.  With game 3 set for Friday night, I expect the Celtics to play with a sense of urgency, knowing that home court advantage now rests firmly in their back pocket.  Hopefully the injuries to both Kevin Garnett, and Kendrick Perkins aren't enough to soften the C's frontcourt, but we'll have to wait and see.  Although I won't be there for either game, the Garden should still be rockin' enough to give the hometeam the energy when needed.  Also, I believe we have shot 30 fewer free-throws than the Cavs throughout the first two games.  Those numbers should start to swing in our favor as the series shifts to Boston.
