Coming Home for Game 6

We fought tonight, but in the end, it wasn't enough. I know I will be breaking down film tomorrow to see where I could have been better. It's going to be a long flight back home, but it will give me plenty of time to reflect. I have confidence in my team, and I'm sure we will bounce back! I'm going to need to see and hear all the fans on Tuesday in the Garden. Like KG says, "...keep that mother#*%!@$ rocking." Until then, I'll holla!

i knew this was gonna happen tonight!!!!! congrats on everything to you rondo for a great game and PP its great you got MVP you deserve it <3 ~*~CONGRATS~*~

i think i saw you holding your little girl she is so beautiful

Yeah you can't keep the C's down for long man, you guys will bounce back like P was sayin during the Texas trip. If your ankle is 100% be aggressive and look for your shots man! Those little runners in the lane mixed up with some nice finishes should be cake for you.

Rajon, I'm praying for you and believe in you and what you have to offer your team in securing the victory tomorrow night. I'm very proud of you and know that you will rise to the occassion as i have seen you do on every level of your play. This is Mr. Barnes in Louiville, KY. Take it to the Lakers like you took it to PRP in the LIT. Be Blessed, stay humble and hungry....Lead like only you can...

Well I think this Tuesday, with all the support from the fans, you guys will heat up and make a great start. Game 6 is Celtics' game!

fingers crossed for seeing you on tuesday. chins up, skeptics expected the lakers to bulldoze with pride, instead they barely pulled it off. you guys CAN. DO. THIS.

Keep your head up Rondo. There is no doubt you guys won;t win this thing. I'll definitely be rockin the number 9 on Tuesday.

I agree that the slow starts are not beneficial and that if we can attack the Lakers from the moment the ball is tossed up, their confidnece level will will drop. Tonight's game was a close one with so many opportunities to take the lead and capture the win. Free-throws were another aspect that hurt us tonight, if we capitalize on the free-throw opportunities we will definately win game 6. Rajon I hope the ankle is much better, good luck on tuesday, take care and as always I will be watching!

Lady Luck

Stay cool Rajon! Boston's pullin' for ya'! And heck, so are we over here on the West Coast! You guys can do it! Take it to K*be and the Fakers!

I thought you guys fought back just to show that you can come back whenever you want. Some where deep down you guys wanted to win in Boston. Boston is so much better than LA, and Gasol and Odom will struggle in Boston bad. LA never feels safe with any lead because you guys tighten the defense and make plays. If you guys get off to a good start LA doesn't have a chance. LA got two very close games, but in Boston the calls won't go their way. The don't have poise at home and will crumble in Boston.

Finish this up. Adding Perkins back to the line up will give you guys the defense to shut down Odom and Gasol and take game 6. You can do it just play your hardest.

Hi Rondo,

My first time writing in the blog and I was just curious why you are being so tentative? It seems like you had many open shots tonight and opportunities to go to the basket for easy open layups and you passed instead? Are you afraid that someone will foul you and cause you to reinjure your ankle more? I understand it is good to pass as you are a great passer but Kobe is definitely laying off you because he doesn't respect you. Think about that for a minute. NO RESPECT. You deserve that respect when you shoot the lights out as we know you can and/or drive to the basket hard as we know you can. By penetrating into and around the paint will either A. allow you to shot and score, B. allow you to pass or a layup or C. allow you to pass and your teammate scores. The defense always collapses when you penetrate with your awesome speed. Take it to the basket and the paint area on Tuesday and show Doc and the world why you led this team to 66 wins. Try not to force it but feel the defense and go from there. Get that confidence back. I know when you mess up it always feel like you have Sam hanging over you but when you play good Doc has no choice but to keep you in. Have fun and when you guys win it Tuesday I will be happy for you all. Bring home the 17th for us all. Peace and may God be with you Tuesday.

u can prolly get KB in foul trouble too if you take it too him when he lays off of you. ;)

We would all rather see you win it at home anyways..

Hey I've recently become a die hard celtics fan, and i gotta tell you that yall are really close to this one. It only makes sense that yall win it back home so that definately shouldn't put you guys down. Just keep being aggresive and you guys are good at what you do. It may seem like its getting tough, but you haven't made it this far for nothing. I really wish Ray Allen got more baskets, but i sure hope his child's feeling better. Kevin is truly amazing and great at defense it just the foul trouble is a pain in the butt. Hope perkins feels better. Pierce did amazing, he got in the paint made his drives and picked up fouls. Thats what needs to be done. You guys can pull it together. Good Luck. You're an amazing team... believe it!

if lakers were on fire to keep the series going and you got close to taking the lead - you can really win this thing. i hope everyone perfects their jumpshots, as it's getting more hard to penetrate the basket with most of the key players being injured. I wish the crowd will energize you in G6 and keep a big lead and stave off the lakers to the last buzzer. my prayers are with you to win this on tuesday. :)

Get win on 6/17. Don't let Lakers has any chance. We - Celtics is the greatest team, no game 7. Let all the Celtics players know that not only people in US believe in you, but also from Taiwan, we have confidence that Celtics will get the NBA final champion
BEAT LA! BEAT LA! BEAT LA! and it's the last game for NBA 2007-2008 on 6/17.

Hi Rajon! =) I have faith in you guys. I know you guys will take home the trophy no matter what! Best of Luck! by the way... i saw ur website. its really cool.. like the music and ur pics. i enjoyed them. take care and good luck again!

What up Rajon! Lets win at home. 48 more minutes,....

Those announcers drive me nuts... could they smooch Kobe and the Lakers any more? Sheesh. Bring it home on Tuesday!!

haha, yeah. I know.....

Good luck! Winning at home would be more fun anyway... Beat LA!! Go Rondo!!

No worries! From the beginning it was only a matter of time before you guys won it all. Good luck!

You guys are gonna come back to Boston and rock those Lakers! I wish I could go to the game to see ya'll win! I will be watching you on tv at least :) Just beat LA babbbbbaayyyy!!!!

Good Luck Tuesday!! Connecticut LOVES Rondo!!

Keep doin' your thang Rondo.
You all will get them in game 6.
Get your rest and be ready to play Tuesday.
Good luck to all the guys!


rondo, when you go to the hoop, and you're wide open...take the layup! You're sick when you drive, and when you kick it out for a 3 pointer for paul pierce it isnt as automatic as you driving to the hoop. Pierce played well once again, and losing Perk was a big blow. Too bad you couldn't win it in front of Big Jack Nicholson, now you'll just have to keep that mother ****** rocking in boston baby.

Sure you guys came up a little short but regardless, it was still a great battle. PLEASSSE WIN ON TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE ONLY ONE VICTORY AWAY! good luck on everything. i hope you guys blowout the lakers. LAKERS LOSERS! CELTICS CHAMPIONS!

im sure you guys will come out dominate tuesday night! im so excited, wish i could be there

Hey Rondo! I can't wait until tomorrow night to see you guys show the Lakers what real champs look like! I'll be in the Garden tomorrow and I will definitely keep it rockin'!!! GO CELTICS! :-)

I think you guys were just missing Perk's presence on defense. I hope the big guy is ready to play on Tuesday. Hope you have a safe flight and am praying for Ray's situation whatever it is. You guys will close it out on Tuesday. Thanks for the update.

even tho u will now have a few more advantages bein at home on tuesday don't think that it won't be difficult to beat them....you know they are gonna be aggressive..so don't let up tomorrow nite...do what yall do best...make the plays and use teamwork....thats what makes you unstoppable....hope you had a decent flight back....

THE HOME FANS DESERVE TO SEE YOU GUYS TAKE THE TITLE NE WAY

I wasn't too disappointed last night because...
1. you guys are still ahead and I'm 100% certain Celtics will win the championship. I have strong faith in you guys.
2. It's nice you get to celebrate the 4th W in Boston
3. we get to enjoy the Finals a little longer :).

Have a safe trip home and good luck tomorrow!

Hey Rondo,

So I don't know if this knocks me out of the category of superfan and into that of creepy fan, but I just wanted to send you a pic of my new puppy who I named Rondo! My profile pic is of me, Rondo, and my lab suited up for game 5.



I've been a celts fan my whole life, and in what has been a hard year for me watching you and the C's has been a huge ray of light! Thanks, and good luck in Game 6, can't wait to see you guys win live!!

Peace,

Mara (and Little Rondo)

your still a super fan just like me!
plusss your doggy is so cute:)

Thanks... yeah I totally meant it as a superfan/ really sweet puppy name... PLUS my lab loves wearing his KG jersey, so it was only appropriate!

we will keep it rockin' inside and outside the garden... ooh not to mention all round the city... rest well and play hard on Tuesday...

BRING IT BACK TO THA GARDE\N!!!! IT WAS A TOUGH GAME, BUT U GUYS OUT UP A GREAT FIGHT!!! DO THA DAMN THING ON TUESDAY..U GOT ALL OF BOSTON BEHIND U.....GOOD LICK!!!

its alright that yall didn't win.
i'm positive that yall will win tomorrow.
to me it's a no-brainer.
by the way, much love to e.house.
i love that guy! he's sickkk
anyways good luck i love you

Good luck in game 6 man... you guys just need to tear it up one more time and your championship will be forever.

Keep on believing, Rajon --- in yourself, in your play and in your team. Keep your heart and your spirits up, even if everyone is physically and mentally exhausted, even if everyone is playing injured at this point, even if the NBA has arranged it so you practically fall right off a trans-continental flight on to the court.
You guys can transcend that all. I've seen it in you.
You can rise above it.
You've had a magnificent season. Now you need to go on a little farther, play your team game, focus on the present moment, and savor every minute.
And believe.
I do.

So, you'll win at home...The Drive for 17 on the 17th!! You guys gotta wrap this up cuz these late nights are killin' me! Good luck!!

last night i watched the game at the fours in Boston right across from the garden it was the best!
i have a felling your going to do wicked good Tuesday. o man i want that headband so bad. can you email me please that would be wicked awsome

Please practice your midrange jumper so that the Lakers will not cheat on defense.
