Probably my favorite play this year.

No way. The House-to-Tony play was just insane!

He reached between Williams' feet and tipped the ball to his other hand.   :o  Amazing.

  • Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...
I think Rondo is trying to force himself into top 5 player talk instead of just pg.

He's been absolutely amazing, and has been the best player of the last two series.

We use the term 'great play' frequently.  This play was better than great.  Not a only tremendous hustle, but a great skill play as well.

Best pure hustle play ever: Benjamin Watson catching Champ Bailey.

My hat is totally off to Rondo. He's doing everything I've ever hoped he could do. He has elevated his game to the pantheon of the game's greats - present and past.
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

TP. Wow just wow at that hustle and at Ray. When our back-court is on we just seem unstoppable.
;D
Tommy: He's got a line about me. Tell him the line.

Mike: Everybody 60 or over knows Tommy as a player. Everybody 40 or over knows Tommy as a coach. Everybody 20 or over knows Tommy as a broadcaster. And everybody 10 or under thinks he's Shrek.

So I went to a pizza hut to watch the game with a couple friends (I couldnt find the Irish pub)

There were probably twenty people around. When both plays happened, me and my friends jumped out of our chairs and started clapping and whatnot. We got all sorts of "WTH?" looks.. but it was well worth it.

Rondo has been Great...man to hear anyone compared to Larry is phenomenal...

Rondo: You do this stuff for about 3-4 more years, and man you will sit at the same table as Larry.

Right now, you are in Larry's neighborhood..he's invited you over, and you are getting close to his house......

This Rondo hustle play had me jumping in front of my computer. This hustle is the difference between being complacent with your lead and fighting on every possession to win. Play of the year!

Don Beebe has a bone to pick with you, given that the game was already long-over when he chased Lett down.

brilliant tremendous play...but...isn't that a travel, if you get up from off the ground with the ball? or is it because he didn't have possession until he got up? I was thinking that during the game last night that if I were coaching it would have been a travel...
