Boston Celtics Rajon Rondo Is Seeing Stars

Found February 22, 2012 on Rant Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Rajon Rondo,  Paul Pierce,  Danny Ainge
TEAMS: Boston Celtics

I never like to see a player get hurt. However, in this case at least the result of the injury is righting a serious injustice. Atlanta’s Joe Johnson was ruled out for the NBA All Star game in Orlando due to minor injury. According to Celtics announcer Sean Grande via twitter, the NBA selected Boston’s Rajon Rondo to replace him on the East squad. Rondo has been the best Celtic this season and deserved the nod. His snub was a serious injustice that has now been fixed. Paul Pierce is one of my all time favorite Celtics and he had a solid month that helped lead Boston to an impressive winning streak, but that was only a ten game stretch. Rondo has led this offense the entire season. His numbers clearly show this fact. Rondo is averaging 14.8 points a game, 9.5 assists, and 4.5 rebounds per game. These numbers are all the more impressive when one considers all the injuries Boston has had. The team is in disarray, but they would be lost in the abyss without the play of Rondo...

Happy Birthday Rajon Rondo

  Today is Rajon Rondo's 26th birthday.  I'm declaring a moratorium on the BS surrounding this kid for a day.   Just as a matter of perspective:  When Paul Pierce was 26, he was starting a season in which he'd shoot 40.2% (29.9% from 3).  The kid is young, and there is room and time for him to improve.
