Tale of Two Guards: Rajon Rondo and Jason Terry
The stage is set for another successful season out of the Boston Celtics, a team that’s managed to round out its roster with some younger pieces, yet still was able to maintain its veteran core.
Rajon Rondo, while still only 26 years old, has become a part of that core, as he’s teamed up with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to give the Celtics a Big Three over the past few seasons...
Rajon Rondo fires back at Dwyane Wade, calls him out for ‘dirty plays’
Rajon Rondo was called for a flagrant foul during the Miami Heat’s win over the Boston Celtics after he wrapped Dwyane Wade up to prevent him from walking in for a layup. It was somewhat of a hard foul as Rondo certainly wasn’t playing the ball, and Wade ripped Rondo after the game and called it a “punk play.”
Not surprisingly, Rondo saw it differently. In fact, he thinks...
Rondo Sitting Next To Girl with LeBron’s A ***** T-Shirt

It has become extremely evident on the court and...
Watch: Rajon Rondo responds to Wade's punk play comments
Boston Celtics guard Rajon Rondo took a jab at Miami Heat forward Dwyane Wade on Thursday over the flagrant foul he received at the end of Tuesday night's season-opener in Miami. "I mean, I don't think it was a hard foul," said Rondo. "[Wade] sold it a little bit. That's basketball. They were up, he drove to the hole, I didn't want to give up a layup...
Who's the Punk??
Dwyane Wade called Rajon Rondo's hard foul in the opener a "punk play" and said that only knowing his children were watching kept him from retaliating. Today after practice, Rondo talked a little about the foul although he wouldn't say too much, asking the reporters if they were trying to get him a fine. But he did say at the end of the interview,
"I mean...
Celtics focus on better communication and a return to their defensive roots
If you have been to or watched any Celtics game on TV in the last 6 years, you would see either Kendrick Perkins or Kevin Garnett calling and directing defensive plays for the team.
Perk is no longer here, and Rajon Rondo has taken up the slack.
In game one, KG's voice was silenced and Rondo became indecisive with his new role as on-court leader.
This was not the Rondo...
Rajon Rondo's flagrant foul is a bad sign for Celtics.
Rajon Rondo is up to his old tricks. And when I say old tricks, I mean his typical, almost teenage-like borish behavior. Rondo was called for a flagrant foul in Boston's game against Miami last night. That would have been a foul in the NFL.Video after the jump.I'm a Boston fan, have been since I was a kid. I even like Rondo. He's the closest thing to a true point guard...
Glue Guys
Chris Palmer has an article on ESPN Insider where he lists the top five glue guys in the NBA. He describes glue guys as players who accept any role, do the dirty work, have outstanding basketball instincts and promote team chemistry.

Recap: Milwaukee embarrasses Celtics in home opener
The Boston Celtics have some very big problems right now. I stress right now because it’s way too early in the season to get TOO worked up. but I stress “very” because the Celtics problems are really, really, really quite bad. Don’t let the 11 point final spread fool you, the Celtics got blown out all game long. A couple of Jason Terry threes in garbage time helped...
Dwyane Wade Takes Exception to Rajon Rondo's Hard Foul, Says It Was 'a Punk Play'
It's a good thing that Dwyane Wade plays in the NBA these days, and not on the schoolyard, or even the local YMCA.
The Heat guard was the victim of a somewhat innocuous, yet hard foul from Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo late in Miami's 120-107 win Tuesday night. As Wade drove by Rondo, the Boston guard grabbed Wade -- admittedly high -- and slowed him down, but not pulling...
Comments from the Other Side - Bucks 11/2
Comments after losses are usually pretty depressing. I have to say, I kind of like Bucks fans. They seem like a decent bunch who have been used to cheering for a losing team and seemed quite surprised by this win. Not much hate for the Celtics like there is in a lot of fan bases either. So, in spite of the loss, these comments aren't all that bad. Hopefully tonight we get...

The Celtics struggled from the start looking sloppy on offense...
