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. The Sixers have a 1-2 disadvantage but are mostly concerned about Allen’s three balls, which allows Mickael Pietrus to make an unmolested baseline cut behind the defense. [...]

(Video) Rajon Rondo Continues To Dominate In Postgame Interview

Rajon Rondo is a tremendous player, but he tends to have a little bit of an issue scoring the ball late in games. I won’t go as far as saying he is scared, but he does pass up shots and defer to teammates in crunch-time….well a lot. Last night though may have been his coming [...]

Monday morning links

Slow Monday morning around the Boston “God We’re F—– If The Globe Closes Down” Media:

  • Perkins anchors defense: Though the Celtics have established a reputation for demonstrating how championships derive from defending, relatively few of the franchise’s players have been named to the NBA All-Defensive first team. Kevin Garnett became the seventh Celtic named to the team last year, matching the number of titles the team has won since the All-Defensive team was inaugurated in the 1968-69 season. [Boston Globe]
  • Danny Ainge’s hopes high for playoffs: “I love our team,” said the Celtics’ president of a team that is managing to hold on to the second seed in the Eastern Conference despite significant injuries. “I mean, there are all sorts of question marks as far as health and what’s going to happen. Those are always the variables and the uncertainties with every team. But I really like our team. When we’re healthy and we’re playing, I love what we can be.” [Boston Herald]
  • Ray Allen Reaches New Heights While Conditioning: This season Allen’s conditioning has been tested.
