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 [...]

Setting the tone…

It has begun!!  New Celtic shoves newer (last year) Cavalier after the whistle!

What I saw:  Williams and Williams both half-heartedly went up for a meaningless rebound after the buzzer.  Shelden knocks Mo to the ground in a basketball related play- as in both players reach for the ball, one goes down. Mo gets up and shoves Shelden and Shelden two-arm shoves back.   Rabble-rousing ensues!

I don’t know who actually started it.  I’m going on what I saw the first time because I was so excited to post about it I missed the replay.

Rest assured it’ll get replayed and replayed and replayed and we can adequately assess what happened and perhaps I will have to turn my Homerism Filter on.

We shall see!  Damn I’m fired up!

UPDATE: I just saw the replay and Mo Williams, come on man!  Shelden is going hard!  If you want to get in the trenches with a banger than that’s what happens.  I seriously don’t care what anyone says, there was definitely contact, but Mo needs to ease up and get over it.  He didn’t intentionally throw him to the ground.

Oh I can just hear Cavs fans now…

UPDATE #2: Here’s the video courtesy of Red’s Army.
