Rondo airballs a layup : Rubio can pass the rock

Via roundballchat.com  |  December 28, 2011
The Boston Celtics are off to a 0 and 2 and in last night’s loss to the Miami Heat one player had a very embarrassing moment. Celtics Rajon Rondo is one of the best point guards in the NBA. Rondo excels at attacking the rim and passing the ball; he is not a shooter. In Tuesday’s game against the Heat Kevin Garnett gave Rondo a perfect outlet pass that gave Rondo a clear lane...

Stop talking Rondo for Westbrook trade, it’s a bad idea

In the wake of Russell Westbrook having a spat with Kevin Durant while at the same time the Boston Celtics are off to an 0-3 start, there’s been all sports of buzz on the Internet and talk radio about a Westbrook for Rajon Rondo trade. Stop it. Let it go. It doesn’t work. And it’s…

Making the case for Rajon Rondo as a franchise player

Via Pro Basketball Talk  |  December 28, 2011
We keep hearing rumors that Rajon Rondo is on the trade block — it had been for Chris Paul but the Celtics will listen to other offers, too. They are not going to move him for just anyone, but he’s not the easiest player to get along with and Boston is keeping its options open.…

Rondo Phone Home

Via SLAM Online  |  December 27, 2011
by Matt Domino / @PuddlesofMyself Rajon Rondo is an alien. I mean that in the best way possible. He has freakishly large hands, abnormally long arms and moves around the basketball court getting his shot at angles that most “human” players can’t get to. Watching Rajon Rondo play basketball is a joy. The New York Knicks beat the Boston Celtics 106-104 on Christmas Day, the NBA’s...

There Is No Debate, This Is The Worst Layup I’ve Ever Seen In My Life (Video)

Via MentalityMagazine.com  |  December 28, 2011
I thought that NBA players would be a bit rusty with such a shortened preseason, but I never expected to see this. Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo completely missed hitting the rim with his shot, but his shot wasn’t from downtown or even from the free throw, it was a layup from about 7-inches away.

Leftover thoughts from Celtics-Knicks

Via Celtics Town  |  December 27, 2011
Brandon BossNo, that wasn’t a typo. Brandon Bass = Brandon Boss. He had 20 points and 11 rebounds yesterday while shooting 9-13. But the stats alone don’t tell the story. I’m confident when Boss shoots jumpers. I’m happy when he gets aggressive (which is almost all the time). I’m thrilled that he has the athleticism to finish in traffic and not get his...

Will Brandon Bass Have the Biggest Impact of Any Celtics Offseason Addition?

Via NESN.com  |  December 27, 2011
The trade that sent Glen Davis to Orlando was not popular among some Celtics fans, who had grown fond of Big Baby's unconventional game and attitude, but it was hard to argue with the immediate results. Brandon Bass, whom the Celtics received in return for Davis, was arguably Boston's best frontcourt player in the season opener in New York. The seventh-year forward had 20...

Comments From the Other Side - Hornets 12/28

Via Celtics Green ...a boston celtics blog.  |  December 29, 2011
Hornets fans aren't quite as obnoxious as Heat or Knick fans but they hate on the Celtics just like everyone else. The theme seems to be that the Celtics are old and nothing the Celtics have done seems to disprove that. I think it's more of a chemistry problem right now because of lack of training camp and because of injuries. Hopefully the Celtics win Friday or...

Eric Gordon is very, very good. In a few years he will be one of the best slashing guards in the league. The Clippers were only going to trade him for a handful of players in the league (Chris Paul being one of them). Here he is getting the Hornets a win over the Suns…

The Hornets played great defense in holding the Suns to 39.5% shooting from the floor and that is the main reason they got a nice road win to open the season.  Eric Gordon led the way for the Hornets in this game with 20 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot.  Carl Landry (14 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals) and Trevor Ariza (13 points, 7 rebounds...
