Barbosa provided one of the only positive memories last night
Ok so the Celtics trip to South Beach did not go as planned last night. The C's couldn't stop the Heat's stars and they couldn't stop their role players. Hell I'm pretty sure Alonzo Mourning scored in double figures last night, it was that ugly on the defensive end.
But offensively the Celts actually played really well. They put up 107 points while shooting 52% from the floor, 46% from three and 82% from the line. Where did the scoring come from? Paul Pierce (23 points) and Rajon Rondo (20) led the way, which surprised all of 0 people. But the team's third leading scorer? Well that would be the guy who joined the team all of 6 days ago and appeared in zero pre-season games - Leandro Barbosa. The Brazilian blur scored 16 points in a 9 minute span of the 4th quarter and he helped the Celtics make their best run of the game.
Barbosa filling it up shouldn't surprise anyone, after all he has sco...

It’s real and it’s spectacular.
The fellas over at Lob Shots posted this pic earlier today of Celtics guard Rajon Rondo posing with a lovely young lady sporting a “LeBron is a ******** t-shirt, and they were questioning the veracity of the photo. While I don’t profess to be an expert at recognizing a photoshopped pic when I see one, it would really take a lot to convince...

WALTHAM, Mass. -- Some people are so touchy. Dislocate their
elbow one time or make a series-altering uncalled hack -- or maybe even both --
and they just will not let it go.
Rajon Rondo is not about to forgive Dwyane Wade for some of
the physical plays the Heat guard has leveled on him over the past two years.
That was clear from his comments after practice Thursday, when the...

Celtics' Heat hatred not all about Allen
MIAMI -- Boston guard Rajon Rondo took out a Miami player. But it wasn't who you thought it might be.
It wasn't Ray Allen, believed to be a traitor by some up north for bolting the Celtics last summer to join the Heat as a free agent. It was guard Dwyane Wade, who called Rondo a "punk" for clotheslining him in the final minute of Miami's 120-107 opening-night...

Lots of hate for the Celtics as can be expected along with some
gloating over Ray's performance. They also do a lot of whining about
the refs for a team that gets more than their share of the calls. They
think Wade gets no respect from the refs? How about the fact that he
was allowed to push off on every drive to the basket and get away with
it, which resulted in a...
