Rondo Replacing Johnson on All-Star Team

The Herald got it right from Rondo’s agent. According to his agent, Bill Duffy, the Celtics point guard has been named to the Eastern Conference All-star roster, presumably to replace Joe Johnson, the injured Atlanta Hawks guard. This would be Rondo’s third all-star appearance. Nice birthday present for RR, who probably should have been selected [...]

Comments Deleting?

We apologize if your comments are being deleted (provided that they are not offensive). We are looking into why this is happening. We also want to apologize for the lack of a game thread for last night’s game.  We had a premonition that the Celtics would play that poorly and thought if we pretended the [...]

What did you do on your spring break? And Baby’s Block!

The Celtics don’t play until Wednesday, and Doc gave the team a well-deserved weekend off from practice. So what’s everybody going to do?

Rondo, via WEEI’s new hoops blog“I’m just going to chill. Ice and stim (stimulation for his right ankle). I’m glad we get these next two days off to relax. I’m just going to chill at home with family.”

Tony Allen, via the Herald“I’ll be continuing my therapy. I have a lot of work to do on my hand. No time off for me.”

Also in the Herald:

• Steph: going to the gym.

• Big Baby: going to the movies with his girlfriend. Can’t you just see Big Baby yukking it up in the front row of Monsters vs Aliens? 

• Pierce: His daughter’s first birthday party and some much-needed rest: “At this point in my career I just try to use the rest as rest. I’ll just take the two days off. I think my body needs it.”

• Mikki Moore: Checking out Boston: “I don’t really know this city, and I need to do something about that. My wife has found out where all the little grocery stores are, but we’re going to drive around and look at some restaurants. I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t like to eat the same thing too often. I like variety. So we’ll be looking at some places to eat. And maybe do some clothes shopping.”

Finally, some You Tube-age of Baby’s monster block last night courtesy of reader Jose3030. Best part: Perk’s reaction on the bench. This has to be the highest BBD has ever gotten up.
