8 a.m. ET: The four-leaf clover wasn't so lucky for the Celtics this week, as the C's get two meetings with the Central Division-leading Bulls. The first of those matchups takes place Sunday in Boston, where the Celtics have won four of their last five games. Many will be watching point guard Rajon Rondo, who had a forgettable performance Friday in Toronto but will likely be motivated to go head-to-head with reigning NBA MVP Derrick Rose. Join us for updates and analysis during the game, which is set for a 3:30 p.m. ET tip-off.

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
"Nine [Rondo] was edgy today, man. I loved it," Garnett said. "I love the fact that he came out and he set the tone. And I thought he got guys involved and he was all over the place. When we win...

February 13, 2012
With a little over 9 minutes to go in the 4th quarter at the Garden on Sunday, I pointed out Rondo's stats on the scoreboard to my buddy. He figured there was no chance for a triple-double because at the time Rajon had just 6 rebounds. But after tracking down two in the game's final 21 seconds, he finished with 32 points, 15 assists, and 10 boards. There's only been...

I saw an interesting tweet from ESPN’s Chris Broussard at the end of last week. I’ve probably said on the blog that I’m not a very big fan of Broussard, but he does have his ear to the grindstone when it comes to all things NBA, so I do follow his Tweeter feed [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve done a Volvo Challenge. This one comes with a little synergy. It is another Volvo Challenge. Remember to go and vote for me in Volvo’s Biggest Fan in the Big East. Volvo, a Big East corporate sponsor for the Big East, wonders what the Biggest Fans in the Big East think constitute the Garden 30, that the Big East itself is asking in honor...

Rook looked real good
Three weeks into this condensed season, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau was touting JaJuan Johnson as a player who would be a factor in the Celtics’ season. At that point, after 10 games, Johnson had exactly one NBA field goal.
