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 [...]

Photo/Video Essay: Celtics Win in LA

On Sunday the Celtics won their 47th game.  That’s it.  No extra storylines.  This was just another game….Okay, so maybe that’s only kind of true.  Which is why I am only going to kind of highlight the more salients parts of the game.

Before we begin, there are some worthwhile statistics to point out.  Old friend Zach Lowe put the Celtics’ season shooting numbers in perspective and Chris Forsberg at ESPN.com makes a case for Ray Allen being the new answer to Kobe Bryant.  I took the liberty of playing around with Basketball Reference’s Team Game Finder-Thingy and found even more interesting things.  The Celtics have shot over 60% against the Lakers twice since 1986.  One time was yesterday and the other was this crazy game that ended in a Celtics’ loss.  Go figure.

Last but not least, remember those unis the Lakers wore last night?  Well they wore them against the Celtics a few years ago too.  That game was another Celtics win.  Here are some highlights of that game.

Alright, here we go.

Up close? A bandage.  From far away?  A crazy birthmark.

* * *

Kendrick Perkins is so dirty.  Just look what his telepathy did to Derek Fisher.

* * *

Remember when I showed you a call that Paul Pierce never gets?  Yeah, well here’s Derek Fisher getting that call.

* * *

Kobe sneaks a peek at Shaq’s chest.  C’mon Kobe, his eyes are up there.

* * *

Ray Allen just baited Fisher into a cheap foul while trying to run him off a screen.  Big mistake…

* * *

On the very next play Fisher draws a “foul” on Allen.  Here’s the last contact Allen makes with Fisher.

* * *

Here is where they call the foul and reenact the breakout scene from Shawshank Redemption.

* * *

Amazing Celtic defense.  I can watch this over and over and over again.

* * *

Here is Pau Gasol’s patented “I want to sell a foul so let me do a controlled butt slide” slowed down by 75%.  Warning, the audio is creepy but suitable for work I s’pose.

* * *

Good work fellas.  You can leave now.
