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. [...]

  • They’d have looked sharper with Garnett: The 6-foot-11-inch slender yet muscular celebrity wasn’t wearing a No. 5 jersey, fancy adidas sneakers, or long baggy shorts. Instead, Kevin Garnett wore a pretty custom-made dark blue suit, with a white shirt, red tie, white pocket square, and shiny dress shoes. [Globe]
  • What of the future? You do the math: Barring some startling development – and with Danny Ainge as general manager it’s wise to keep your mental seat belt fastened – the Celtics won’t have to start contemplating that future for at least another year. [Globe]
