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 [...]

KG alley-oops in practice

Bulls Celtics BasketballThe Red Sox are packing up their lockers, Tom Brady looks mortal and the Bruins appeared lost on the ice in the midst of their first five home games of the season. Sounds like it’s time to start giving your Boston Celtics some undivided attention.

 On a day where Boston fans need some good news wherever they can find it, Frank Dell’apa of the Globe delivers this gem of a report from Celtics’ practice.

Kevin Garnett took another step forward in his recovery from knee surgery during Monday’s practice.

“He took a lob and dunked it — it was an amazing dunk,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said of Garnett. “Everybody said, ‘we haven’t seen that.’ “

Garnett went the distance in an hour-and-a-half practice, during which “we worked them hard,” Rivers said. Garnett has struggled to convert alley-oops during exhibition games. This time, though, he punctuated the shot by saying, “Oh, I can do it,” according to Rivers.

“I think Doc’s been waiting for me to grow wings and fly,” Garnett said. “Just tell him to be patient, the wings are coming.”

While I would love to see some video of this momentus occasion that doesn’t include KG limping up the court afterwards, if that report doesn’t get you excited about KG’s recovery, I don’t know what will. The pieces are slowly falling into place here people. If we continue getting reports like this out of Waltham, I think we are a few weeks away from witnessing the start of a very special season. 

Rasheed’s goal of 73 regular season wins may be a little out of reach. Here is my question to you readers though. If KG makes a full recovery and this team remains healthy throughout this season, what is the ceiling for this team’s win total during the regular season? 60 wins? 65 wins? 70 wins?
