Rajon Rondo, Celtics teammates all left off Team USA preliminary roster

Via Celtics Town  |  January 10, 2012
It probably should not come as a surprise that Rajon Rondo — who either got cut from or left the USA men’s basketball team that participated in the 2010 World Championships after receiving a DNP under weird circumstances — failed to make the preliminary roster for the team that will compete in the 2012 London Olympics. But Rondo and all his Celtics teammates...

Rajon Rondo's Scoring Outburst Signals That Celtics Are Already 'His Team' Despite Loss

Via NESN.com  |  January 12, 2012
There was a time when Rajon Rondo scoring 24 points on 8-of-16 shooting while hitting eight of his 12 free throw attempts would have been the greatest thing in the world, or at least the greatest thing in that little corner of the world that houses North Station. Back then, about two or three years ago, 24 points for Rondo would have meant just another 20-point scorer for the guys...

Via CLNS Radio  |  January 13, 2012
(Courtesy of  Steven Cuce/Sports Radio Interview and WEEI) How disappointing was the loss to the Dallas Mavericks at home this week? “Any time you lose it is always disappointing. Nothing is good about losing. Obviously today we will watch the film and try to learn from it and apply that to Chicago and other games, [...]

Lurking Around Celtics Nation: the gauging struggles of KG

As Celtics fans know, Kevin Garnett has been oft discussed lately.

ESPN Boston's Chris Forsberg updates the injury situation: * O'Neal, Dooling sit out: Both starting center Jermaine O'Neal and backup guard Keyon Dooling did not participate in Thursday's 90-minute practice session due to knee ailments.

Doc Rivers says the Celtics are Rajon Rondo’s ‘team right now’

Via Ball Don't Lie  |  January 12, 2012
Boston's Ray Allen is having an incredible year, shooting nearly 56 percent from the floor and an astonishing (even for him) 63 percent from long range. He's missed just four free throws in 31 tries, while averaging 19 points per game. Kevin Garnett is still dashing all over the place defensively, helping to hold together a Boston defense that is full of holes at this point...

Recap: C's comeback falls short

Via Red's Army  |  January 13, 2012
Pardon the super quick recap tonight, but aside from the third quarter, there wasn't a whole lot to talk about.  The Celtics came out of the box frigid, missing some makeable shots but also looking old and slow.   They found the fountain of youth in the third quarter, hitting on 11 of 19 shots and outscoring the Bulls by 11.  Mickael Pietrus' 3 with about 10 minutes...

Celtics drop nailbiter to Mavericks, 90-85

Via CLNS Radio  |  January 11, 2012
It was a frustrating night at the TD Garden tonight as the Celtics drop their second straight game, this time to the defending champion Dallas Mavericks, 90-85.

Celtics Live Blog: Rajon Rondo Takes On Derrick Rose, Bulls in Battle of Elite Point Guards

Via NESN.com  |  January 13, 2012
7:45 p.m.: This is not the game to expect the Celtics to finally break out of their rebounding funk. The Celtics, who allowed 17 second-chance points to the Mavericks on Wednesday and are second-to-last in the NBA in overall rebounding, take on the best team in the league at keeping opponents off the glass. That's right. Bulls opponents average just 37.8 rebounds per game, the...
