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. [...]

  • Claude Julien, Doc Rivers earn high praise: Two of the area’s four big league teams are in the playoffs, and as we sit here, waiting for the drama to play out, one thing we don’t have to worry about is that either Claude or Doc will show up at work decked out in tri-cornered hats, life preservers and holding inflatable rubber duckies. Translation: Neither Claude nor Doc is going to allow the postseason to turn their brains to mush. [Boston Herald]
  • Uncorking excuses: That’s not all Van Gundy’s fault, but his best player tried to make it seem that way when he threw the coach under the bus and then backed up to make sure he got Van Gundy following the Celtics’ improbable 92-88 victory in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at the Garden.

  • Celts Seal a Gutty Win the 50-50 Way: The Celtics’ 92-88 Game 5 win over the Orlando Magic didn’t feature a lot of pretty basketball. The good guys’ basket seemed to be roughly the size of a keyhole for most of the contest. The fouls and jumping at head-fakes on both sides weren’t attractive.
