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 [...]

Glen Davis Addresses His Postseason, Future

As we continue to inch towards what will (hopefully) be the free agency signing period beginning July 1st, Big Baby remains the Celtic with perhaps the most intriguing situation surrounding his future in Green as an unrestricted free agent. On one hand, the team is extremely short on bigs, yet there is/was clearly some kind of a tension between Baby and the organization concerning his play, role for the future, maturity, or however you want to describe it. ESPNBoston’s Chris Forsberg caught up with Davis today at a charity event in Medford, as he reflected on a number of topics:

* On what’s most important to him this offseason: “I feel I know what’s most important to me and that’s Glen being Glen. I can’t perform the way I need to perform if I’m not Glen Davis. I need to be in situation where I’m going to be Glen Davis. If it’s here with the Celtics or with somebody else. I just want to make sure I’m Glen Davis, whatever I do, wherever I’m at. That’s all I’m really concentrating on, being Glen Davis, and being a complete player.”

* On whether Glen Davis can be Glen Davis in Boston: [Long pause] I can be Glen Davis wherever. It depends on the system, the people around the system, who is going to let Glen Davis be Glen Davis, not let Glen Davis be something they think he should be.”

* On talking with coach Doc Rivers or Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge since season’s end: “I don’t try to pay attention. I know Doc talks a lot. I don’t pay attention to that. That’s what he does. That’s Doc, he loves to talk. Danny, he’s doing what he’s doing, concentrating on the NBA Draft. He’s not concentrating [on free agency], he doesn’t need to concentrate on me right now. I don’t really stay in touch with those guys. I’ve seen Danny once, everything’s been great.”

More from Paul Flannery at WEEI.com:

* On his postseason: “I pride myself on playing good basketball, especially when you need it. Every postseason I’ve played tremendously good to the point where it was like wow and this [spring] it didn’t happen,” Davis said. “Because I felt mentally I wasn’t ready and prepared enough for what was in front of me. It affected the way I played and that’s what I’ve been doing this offseason, concentrating on that and making sure postseason’s like this don’t happen to me.”
