I’m a blogger, so I have opinions on things that I don’t actually understand like advertising and commercials. Here are my thoughts:Positives:It’s Rajon Rondo.The whole “athletes wearing their uniforms to work” thing has always slayed me, for whatever reason.Steve Levy calling John Anderson “dude” is inexplicably funny to me too.Rondo’s double-take as Anderson is walking away is subtle and well-executed.Negatives: The smaller hand gimmick lasts too long.I don’t have a real job that has meetings. Do bosses really shake everyone’s hands on the way out?It’s not that funny.Correct me if I’m wrong, but “It’s Rajon Rondo” cancels out “It’s not that funny,” and really all of the other negatives. It does not, however, negate the fact that “The Boston 3-Party” was a fantastic name for the Big 3 (and KG’s acting enthusiasm is downright awesome), that “Embarrassing” was also pretty good and that both commercials were better than this one.Follow Tom on Twitter: @Tom_NBA.

(h/t to WEEI’s Ben Rohrbach for the video)This was a typical Rondo post-game interview, with perhaps a little more sass, and there was certainly no smiling. It seems like he is constantly trying to make reporters uncomfortable in a long standing power struggle between players and the media. Mix some orneriness, with a dash of irritability, and sprinkle some justified and unjustified...

Jason Terry on the most unique pre-game ritual: ”Rajon Rondo, for sure. His routine is long-winded and it lasts all the way through tip-off. It starts in the back hallway. He runs down a corridor and he throws the ball to our team chaplain, who throws it back. Then [Rondo] runs out into a circle, high-fives the whole team and then he does the layup lines for five minutes.
“Then...

For whatever reason, whether it be motivation or something else, Boston just doesn’t blow out very many teams. Instead, they grind things out, lose a few games that they shouldn’t lose, and...
