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 [...]

C’s Injury Pool: Who Ya Got?

Via the Celtics Twitter account:

Eddie House has joined the team in Atlanta and went through today’s shootaround. However, Tony Allen did not practice (sick).

No direct word on whether TA will suit up tonight, but a missed morning shootaround can’t be a good sign. If Tony fails to play, that would leave the Celtics with a bench rotation of Eddie House, Scal, Big Baby, and Shelden Williams against one of the most athletic teams in the league…..d’oh!

Here’s hoping Tony is able to battle through the symptoms before gametime……if not that may open the door for J.R. Giddens to see some spot duty off the bench tonight. Zach Lowe will have a full preview on tonight’s action, later this afternoon.

In the meantime, I guess the bigger question though to me, is whose next to go? Right now, there are only FIVE Celtics remaining on the roster that haven’t had to sit out a game this year already due to injury/illness (Ray Allen, Kendrick Perkins, Rasheed Wallace, J.R. Giddens, Shelden Williams) That’s pretty astounding, considering we are only 33 games into this season.

I guess I’d take all of this happening now, but honestly what are the odds of that? In any case, place your bets here on whose the last Celtic standing in the Celtic injury pool. Meaning who do you think will go the longest on the Celtic roster without having to miss a game due to injury/illness? I’ll place my bet on Perk since he’s young and already fought through a bout of food poisoning. That guy truly is A Beast. Who do you guys got?
