Nice play Rondo!

[Drucci]

[nickagneta]

NOW I get what they were doing! They played really bad to make us feel really good when they FINALLY picked it up!

And yes, Rondo's face was priceless

[PosImpos]

Is that....is that...THE CELTICS?  I think I see them out there at last.

hmmm.....when rondo plays with energy the team wins

hmmm.....when rondo plays with energy the team wins

Yeah, this is amazing. The whole team RELIES on Rondo... je was awful and without effort in the first half, now he is attacking the rim and the Celtics are getting back to their old form. Tell you what, he better play like that every night from now.

Even if the Celtics step up and win this game, the bigger picture is that the team is in trouble.  Everyone including Doc has been using fatigue as an excuse for this recent poor play.  Well they have gotten plenty of rest in the past week and had 3 days off before this game.  There is no excuse to come out and play a first half like they did tonight.  If they are having to summon all the will they have to pull out games like this at home early in the season what does that mean?  They apparently no longer have the quickness to cover perimeter jump shooters OR stop simple drives to the basket.  They have no intimidation factor anymore to prevent teams from feeling confident.  

When a team built on defense can no longer play defense that spells serious trouble...

[Kiorrik]

Can't wrap my head around how close Rondo gets with those fancy trick shots when he gets fouled. Uncanny. I hope he makes some of those soon, highlight stuff.

... I wonder if there is a way to write that into his contract.

[Neurotic Guy]

OK Rondo's 2 FTs coming up.  Let's see who can call it exactly.
I say misses both - first misses short; second misses long.

Yup, this is Rondo's season, one way or another.

Only problem was after all of that, he let his man blow by him for a layup. Twice!

I'm going out on a limp and saying: hit both.
