Rondo Replacing Johnson on All-Star Team

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 [...]

We apologize if your comments are being deleted (provided that they are not offensive). We are looking into why this is happening.

More Injuries: Erden Has Pulled Groin, Questionable for Sunday, Shaq Also Iffy

The C’s just wrapped up their first practice since Tuesday in Waltham and you won’t believe this….there’s more injury developments! Crazy I know! Let’s get you caught up to date on the latest, thanks to the fantastic Chris Forsberg on Twitter

  • Semih Erden did not practice due to a groin pull. He is considered questionable for tomorrow’s afternoon showdown with Indiana.
  • Shaquille O’Neal also did not take part in practice activities as expected due to his sore right calf. He has sat out four straight games with the injury. He is considered probable for tomorrow’s game but is still a game time decision.
  • Jermaine O’Neal practiced with the team for the first time in over a month as he recovers from his knee injury. Jermaine has not played since November 8th due to the injury. He will not play tomorrow night against Indiana but is looking to get back in action before Christmas. He will go on the team’s upcoming three-game road trip starting on Christmas Day in Orlando. A couple quick quotes from Jermaine courtesy of Jessica Camerato from CSNNE.com:

“That’s my Christmas wish, to be playing before Christmas and New Year’s. It felt really good to get back out there with the guys. A lot of trash talking, it was a good day.”

Also in case you missed it, a couple blockbuster deals for the struggling Magic today as they try to shake things up and stay competitive in the East.

1) Trying to undo the Vince Carter/Hedo Turkoglu mistake, by trading Carter, Mikael Pietrus, Marcin Gortat, Cash and a 1st Round Pick for Jason Richardson, Earl Clark and Hedo

2) Dumping Rashard Lewis for Gilbert Arenas in a swap of bad contracts.

Full analysis on the moves in the upcoming days, but I will say I like the first deal for Orlando, makes them a little scarier of a team, although they still have no one willing to play defense on it. Full analysis on the C’s injury situation for tomorrow upcoming as well.
