Highlight: Rondo Leads The Break

I love this decision-making from Rajon Rondo. While leading the break, you can see him eyeballing Ray Allen, who runs the wing and spots up on the arc.

  • Playoff seeding not a primary concern: Doc Rivers admits it. He may have glanced up at the out-of-town scoreboard during tonight’s game. And he may have noticed that Orlando lost. But he insists he doesn’t care. [Boston.com]
  • Garden erupts as Allen gives Celtics the win: The Celtics consider the Charlotte Bobcats the definition of a nightmare first-round playoff opponent. Fortunately for the Celtics, they will not likely have to face the Bobcats again this season after earning a 111-109 double-overtime victory last night – 24 hours after the Bobcats defeated the Lakers in Charlotte, N.C. [Boston Globe]
  • It bears repeating: Health key: “I know, for a fact, the years we won the championships we were 100 percent healthy,” said Popovich last month. “Everybody was 100 percent, and I think that’s the way it’s got to be.
