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 [...]

  • Reflecting on a lost Mentor: “I have my group of coaches I talk to a lot, and Chuck was obviously one of them,” said Rivers. “And losing him now will be a void for me. He was special to the game. But more importantly, he was a great guy to be around.”On his last conversation with Daly, Rivers said, “He said, ‘You got a tough draw with your big fellas out. Just get your guys to hang in there and you never know what can happen.’ That’s the first thing he said.”Rivers says Daly stood apart by being “a tough-minded coach that they still called a player’s coach.” He also said that Daly and Red Auerbach had a way of seeing the game that was “so simple.” [Boston.com]
  • Off Day After Their Off Game “Right now, for me, it’s a rest thing, more than anything,” Allen said. “I’ll see how my body feels throughout the day.”For me, there were maybe three layups I missed. It was frustrating – the ball goes up and just doesn’t go in.”You look at it, and sometimes you say you want to get shots up. But the other side of the spectrum says you’ve got to clear your mind and be refreshed, especially going into Game 4. Our energy was a little low. Sometimes, you just have to get a fresh perspective on it.” [Boston.com]
  • Bill Russell Picks Up Marbury: “My whole family, when they read it, were thanking God,” Marbury said following the Celtics’ video session and walkthrough at the team hotel yesterday. “When the legend speaks, you have to listen.“Every word took a weight off my shoulders. He flushed out of my system all of this stuff I was feeling. He cleansed my spirit and my basketball soul. It was different because he was the one saying it. I mean, Bill Russell – when he speaks, there’s nothing more that has to be said.” [BostonHerald.com]
  • Flagrant Riles up Doc Rivers: “I didn’t even think that was close,” the Celtics coach said of the play – an inadvertent elbow that knocked Pietrus to the floor. “(Perkins) was reaching out to feel for space, and he just happened to touch the guy high. But I’m so sick of this flagrant foul crap. It’s bugging the hell out of me, I have to tell you. It’s almost like we’re trying to find ways to get guys out of the game.“It’s everywhere,” said Rivers. “Every game I watch it’s the first clip – flagrant foul, do you think he’s going to play tomorrow? Ron Artest got thrown out yesterday for a foul that wouldn’t have even been called when I played. It’s amazing to me. I know the purpose is good but, gosh man, we have to get back to playing basketball.” [BostonHerald.com]
