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 [...]

Hedo to Portland; Marion Close

So Orlando loses Turkoglu and Lee and gains Carter. 

I’ll say it again: I’m not worried about what the other Eastern Conference contenders are doing. The Celtics signing of Rasheed Wallace has the potential to be as big an impact move as the Cavs trade for Shaq or the Magic’s deal for Carter. 

Note: I said potential. It also has the potential to be a disaster if ‘Sheed’s game continues to decline. But the fact remains: Nothing the Cavs or Magic has done in this off-season intimidates me or tips the balance of power in the East dramatically.

Oh, and the Raptors are close to re-signing Shawn Marion. Another back-up wing off the market. On the bright side, a Marion deal would be about it for the Raps cap space, which means Anthony Parker is going to be playing somewhere else. In Boston? I’ll have a post on why that might be a good idea later this weekend (or next week, if the parties become too much).
