We won that game despite…

What a thrilling Game 1 win.  But when you look at it… there were a lot of things that could have led to a loss.  The Celtics won this game despite….

… Paul Pierce shooting 4-12.

… Ray Allen shooting 2-9, including 0-4 from 3

… Kendrick Perkins unspectacular, 8 point, 3 rebound, 4 turnover performance

… a 4-11 shooting performance from Rajon Rondo

I'll admit the Rondo thing is a bit misleading.  He played 43 minutes and was only a few rebounds shy of a triple double even though he wasn't able to hold down food or fluids the night before. 

But the point remains:  Kendrick Perkins just flat out had a bad game… and Pierce/Ray combined to shoot 6 of 21.  Are we really going to see all of those things continue for the rest of the series?
