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 [...]

Nate Update: Nothing Close…Yet

In case you missed it, Alan Hahn, Newsday’s excellent Knicks beat reporter, filed a brief update on the Nate Robinson situation last night.

Per Hahn: “We got indications tonight that the two sources have, indeed, talked, but according to one source there is nothing yet happening.”

Hahn reports that Robinson would accept a deal to Boston because it would guarantee he receives the $1 million playoff bonus built into his one-year deal. (Robinson has veto power over any deal because of his status as a soon-to-be free agent with Bird rights playing on a one-year contract. Hahn reports that Nate Rob has already vetoed a deal that would have sent him to the Grizz in exchange for ex-UConn point guard Marcus Williams, since the Grizz aren’t exactly a post-season lock).

The Knicks, Hahn speculates, would most likely want Tony Allen, Eddie House or Marquis Daniels in any Nate trade. He also outlines the difficulties in making a Nate/Boston deal, which I went through here. The deal becomes easier if you introduce a third team with cap room, which would almost have to be Memphis. But the Grizzlies sudden status as a playoff contender (and not a lottery-bound also-ran) complicates that, as well.

Update #2: CelticsBlog links to a New York Daily News story in which anonymous source claims Doc would have no problem coaching Robinson.
