Aldridge butchered it and said that "Rondo knows all of Boston's plays."

Aldridge always butchers this kind of stuff. I cant keep count of the times he has screwed up the names of teams like that.

Thought it was pretty funny too...this is all I could find on it though:

Quote
Courtside reporter Craig Sager revealed that during practice on Sunday, Rivers had his Celtics run some of the rival Miami Heat's favorite sets in another bit of gamesmanship to show that his team knew the Heat front and back after three wins this regular season.

they played the practice on NBATV yesterday and I watched a bit, so I got to see that... it was pretty funny. Doc put KG, Paul, Ray, and Rondo on the floor with Bosh and said let's the run a Heat/Bosh play. The Big 4 immediately got into position. Funny stuff.

You mean we are dribbling around aimlessly then throwing up a shot in some one in one by LeBron or Wade as the shot clock tics down? 

The HEAT has three studs but they have very little in offense plays.  I see them doing more one on one isolation with pointless ball flow killing dribbling by LeBron.
