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 [...]

Worst Game Of The Season: Suns 88, C’s 71

Valley of the Suns (I’m not going to post a box score here for now, out of disgust more than anything else)

I’m going to be straight with everyone here. I just got back from a night out with friends and only saw bits and pieces of this one in a bar during the second half. I would consider this good timing that I didn’t have to suffer through this entire debacle live. Here’s what I witnessed in a few minutes of muted action.

  • Lawrence Frank was coaching the C’s (not a good sign)
  • The Celtics had 58 points entering the fourth quarter…..against the Suns
  • Kevin Garnett took a shot to the mouth on defense…..then appeared to hit Channing Frye in the nuts a few possessions later on a three-point jumper
  • KG was rightfully ejected and the Boston fell apart for good after that.

I’m going to reserve further judgment until I force myself into a full viewing of this game tomorrow. Nonetheless, it’s safe to say all things considered, this happens to be the worst Celtic performance of the year. Oh and Big Baby also left the game early with a strained hamstring.

In unrelated news, the Lakers lost by five at home tonight to Sacramento. Sunday should be interesting to say the least…..w
