Can we get Bassy an inhaler?

Sebastian Telfair left last night’s game complaining of chest pain and shortness of breath. He then went to New England Baptist Hospital for a series of tests and was diagnosed with a bronchospasm. In his absence Delonte became the #1 point guard and Rondo saw the light of day again. At the very least Rajon showed that he deserves time. But I was also intrigued by Delonte’s take on Telfair’s absence, “I didn’t know he was hurt, but I did see him signal to Doc to send a sub in. All I know is I got the call. But I didn’t know there was a problem until I saw he wasn’t on the bench.” Granted West may have been quoted out of context and you never want to comment on someone else’s health. But that clearly was not a “get well soon” or “I hope he’s all right” approach.

- More on the game itself later as I’m watching the tape right now. And yes I feel important when I type, “I’m watching the tape right now.”
