After 3rd returns, Rondo & KG still slated to start All-Star game

Found January 04, 2013 on Celtics Life: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Rajon Rondo,  Kevin Garnett,  Dwyane Wade,  Chris Bosh,  LeBron James,  Carmelo Anthony,  Paul Pierce
TEAMS: Boston Celtics,  Miami Heat,  New York Knicks
Rondo
ESPN Boston Rajon Rondo (second in Eastern Conference backcourt) and Kevin Garnett (third in Eastern Conference frontcourt) remain on pace to start the 62nd annual NBA All-Star Game in Houston after third returns in balloting. Rondo and Miami's Dwyane Wade are far and away the East frontrunners in the backcourt, while Garnett owns less than a 28,000 vote edge over Miami's Chris Bosh while on pace to start alongside LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony in the frontcourt.

Hopefully the Celtics recent losing ways doesn't bring about apathy from some Celtics fans and Rondo is forced to start with three Heat players. Incredibly I saw a Celtics blogger today encouraging Celtics fans to vote for Bosh (don't worry he wasn't from this site). KG has proven once again this season how important he is to a team and what a great defend...

BOSTON — The Celtics started Friday’s game like every other since their post-Christmas hangover began. They missed makeable shots, fired up 3-pointers early in the shot clock and looked all-around lost on offense. A funny thing happened when they looked up at the scoreboard at the end of the first quarter, though. Despite shooting 29 percent from the field and committing as many...
