Great stuff as usual by former Celtic beat guy Marc Spears:

A great read, TP.

I loved this part:
Quote
"People act like because me and Ray didn't get along or they think me and Ray didn't get along that I'm a bad person or he's a bad person," Rondo said. "No. It's just life. If you look at your job, everyone doesn't always get along with every co-worker they work with. It's just part of life. People are blowing the Ray thing out of proportion. We had some words, but other than that it was no big deal.

"There were so many rumors like I was looking Ray off. Why would I look Ray off? That doesn't make sense. He's the best shooter, so why would I look him off? People can see it how they want to. They can talk to Ray. But from my standpoint, he made his decision. I don't know why he made the decision, but he made the decision. I don't think it had anything to do with me."

This was a cool read. I like how Rondo finally seems to be accepting his role.

Confirms everything I've thought all along, I'm glad he's calling those people out and setting the record straight.

I like the fact they've building team chemistry in the offseason.  I always thought that trip to Europe before the '07-08 season was HUGE for that squad.  By the time opening night rolled around, there was already a big comfort level on that team.

Hope the same holds true for this year's bunch.
