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 [...]

Halftime Update: Somebody. Stay. HEALTHY!

Random thoughts while wondering why Brian Scalabrine is wearing a bright red undershirt: 

  • Mikki Moore is still a worthless foul-plagued human — as if you thought things would change come Playoffs time. Your first-half box: 11:00 minutes, 2 fouls, 1 field goal.  
  • Understatement stat of the half: Stephon Marbury, -19. Minus nineteen
  • The 12-0 run late in the second quarter gave the Celtics a stunned, rock-bottom, what-the-hell-is-going-on look. Did I hear boos as they hobbled into the locker room? Did four consecutive turnovers really happen? After a series of sloppy passes and careless runnin-n-gunnin, I would take an AAU All-Star team over what just happened. At least they have healthy bodies.  
  • Rondo’s ankle sprain/tweak/strain/any-variation-works may hurt, but Leon Powe‘s may be worse. With Big Baby and Perkins in foul trouble early on, Doc Rivers must turn to a very small lineup, putting Pierce at the 4. And now, that small lineup excludes Rondo.  
  • Did we mention Marbury is -19?
