Rajon Rondo assigned to the Maine Red Claws

The celtics twitter account just tweeted out that Rondo has been assigned to the Red Claws. I wonder how many games he'll play in the D-League.

...Maybe the second countdown was for when he'd start playing in the D-League...

Danny Ainge calls it a "brief assignment" according to the WEEI twitter account and "He is going to be called up after today"

If you actually read the press release, it's fairly obvious that, at least for now, this is all about getting in an extra practice, rather than him actually playing in the D-League.

Quoting Ainge from the note: "“This is a brief assignment so that Rajon can participate in a workout this afternoon with the Red Claws and he will be called back up to the Celtics upon the conclusion of the workout.”"

Maybe just a tune up game before the lakers come to town?

We only have 3 guards after trading Brooks and Crawford....

Looks like he had his big workout today (that stevens mentioned yesterday in an interview), and decided he wasn't quit ready for nba action.

oh okay, well maybe this IS the big workout stevens was talking about.

I'm starting to think we'll definitely see him against the Lakers.

Good for the D-League, good for Rondo, regardless of how much of a paper tiger it actually is.

All signs appear to point in that direction.

Read on twitter the Rondo is in Maine, however, the Red Claws have travelled to Rondo.  The team is in Waltham to scrimmage so that Rondo can get a run in.  He will be reassigned after practice, and likely play Friday night vs the Lakers.

Well, there it is.  It's confirmed, as far as I'm concerned. 

I have learned my lesson about doubting you.

Not to bite the hand that feeds you... but does Coach work for the Celtics?  Lol
