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 [...]

Danny Ainge: Helping The C’s Win By Any Means Necessary (Update: With Video)

Now this is what you call a general manager who goes all out for his team. From ESPN.com

Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge was spotted in TV replays throwing a towel in the air to distract the Cleveland Cavaliers at the foul line.

Ainge was sitting in the first seat to the right of Cleveland’s basket. He tossed the white towel during forward J.J. Hickson’s second attempt with 1:53 remaining in the third quarter of Boston’s 104-86 win over the Cavaliers on Monday night. Hickson made his second free throw.

 Ainge stood on Hickson’s first shot but made only slight movements with his upper body. He then sat down and clapped after Hickson missed.

Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said he saw Ainge’s towel toss.

“That was interesting to see that happen during the flow of the game, from Danny Ainge,” Brown said. “If it’s it within the rules, hey, at this time, you do whatever you can to win. As long as it’s within the rules.”

Now, that’s what I call Celtics Pride. A few things about this move

1) I love Danny Ainge even more than ever now after reading this.
2) I love that Ainge did this in Cleveland, when the C’s were up by 20 points

And you thought your GM was passionate. I can’t wait to see what Danny has up his sleeve for when we get back to Beantown. Maybe he, Wyc and company can all write out something on their chests from their front row baseline seats to whip out during more free throw attempts. MVP to NYC perhaps? The possibilities are endless! Let’s brainstorm some ideas for them.

Update: video after the jump, courtesy of MrTrpleDouble10, one of the best C’s fans out there:
