Congrats Rajon! Another great accomplishment to add to the growing pile from this season. So proud of him.

On a related note the perils of appearing on the SI cover strikes again. Last night's performance makes perfect sense now.

And last night's performance as well.  I swear I wish Rondo hadn't declared himself the best point guard.  It was just fuel for Nelson, who has outplayed him the last two games. 

I also think that cover got to Rondo's head.  Last night he was not setting people up and being a ballhog going for his own offense.  The Celtics are best when Rondo has high assist numbers, not high scoring numbers.  He can have a high score, but it better be in addition to a high number of assists or the Celtics won't win.

Rondo definitely has been jinxed by the "cover curse". :-\

I really didn't believe in the curse at first, but now I'm not so sure. :-\

I used the Rondo SI as a coaster last night. After the game I threw it out.
