The Herald got it right from Rondo’s agent. According to his agent, Bill Duffy, the Celtics point guard has been named to the Eastern Conference All-star roster, presumably to replace Joe Johnson, the injured Atlanta Hawks guard. This would be Rondo’s third all-star appearance. Nice birthday present for RR, who probably should have been selected [...]

Farewell, Thibs?

Rod Thorn has already expressed interest in Tom Thibodeau for the Nets vacant head coaching job, though it’s unclear how serious New Jersey’s interest is given the other issues the team has to sort out first. 

But the Clippers and Hornets are serious, according to the Herald:

Both the Clippers and Hornets have asked Ainge for permission to interview Thibodeau, though no meetings have been scheduled.

The Philadelphia Daily News also reported that Thibodeau, who interviewed last year for positions with the Sixers and Sacramento Kings, is once again on Philadelphia’s list.

If Thibodeau wants a head-coaching position, it’s only a matter of time before he gets one. We can only hope that the rest of the C’s staff has studied his system intently enough to implement it without him. Whether they can duplicate his frantic screaming and arm-waving—which players have said they respond to—is another question.
