Boston Globe:President of basketball operations Danny Ainge said he had a private conversation with Rondo regarding his third suspension in nine months, and he understands that Rondo’s temper and passion won’t change.

Rondo is one of the NBA’s best mid-range shooters
Bleacher Report’s Jared Wade researched the NBA’s best shooters from each area on the court.
Three Celtics make the Top 10 in the mid-range category (10 – 23 feet); Jason Terry (not surprised), Courtney Lee (mildly suprised considering his rough start to season) and… Rajon Rondo.
The Mid-Range (minimum 20 makes)
1. Chris Bosh, 48-for-85 (56.5 percent)
2. Beno Udrih, 28-for...
Video: Fab Melo has a few nice dunks and blocks vs the LA D-fenders
It wasn't quite Celtics-Lakers (although the uniforms the D-League teams were wearing and the "Beat LA" shirts in the audience might suggest otherwise), but Fab Melo had a few nice highlights when the Maine Red Claws took on the Los Angeles D-fenders this weekend at the Red Claws' home opener.

Celtkicks Spotlight: “IamJeffreyJason”
Last week, we saw some pretty sweet kicks rocked by the Boston Celtics. IamJeffreyJason has put the spotlight on a few of them for another feature. We see Rajon Rondo in the Air Jordan “Cool Grey” IX, Paul Pierce in his Nike “Air Legacy 3″ and more. Be sure to check out I.A.J.J.’s new feature, “Is it the shoes?”
Celtics Show Some Fight, Not Enough in the End
Well the Celtics showed that they still have some fight in them, but unfortunately it was not enough. When Humphries came crashing down on Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo immediately came to his defense. Then a bench clearing brawl ensued—a rarity in basketball. Whether or not Rondo should have done what he did is a different story. Some could say that he was a great teammate and a...

Boston checks in at #13 in the latest edition of Marc Stein's NBA power rankings, down three spots from #10 last week. It seems about right for a 9-8 squad, but I have a gripe with the positions of two teams in front of the Celtics:
The 8-8 Bucks are #8 (although they were still 8-7 when the rankings were published), and they just beat the C...
