Rondo Proves Critics Wrong

Found February 12, 2012 on Celtics 24/7: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Paul Pierce,  Keyon Dooling
TEAMS: Boston Celtics

I, for one, would like to give Rondo a standing O after his triple-double performance Sunday vs. the Bulls. In 40 minutes of play, Rondo scored 32 points.  He shot 50% from the field and made 10-13 FT, with 4 of them coming at the end of the game.  To complete his triple-double, he had 10 rebounds and 15 assists.  Not only was Rondo attacking and shooting, he was also getting his teammates involved. For one, Rondo rebounded from a BRUTAL game on Friday with one of the best hes had in his career.  Secondly, Rondo NEEDS to be aggressive.  If the Celtics get a consistently aggressive Rondo, there’s no reason why you can’t build around him in the future (which “rumors” have been saying the Celtics don’t want to do).  Also, in terms of this season, in order to go anywhere in the playoffs, they need to count of Rondo to be aggressive both scoring and passing.  The team goes as Rondo goes.  It truly is time for Rondo to become the leader and star of the big 4,...

Your Morning Dump... Where #9 was edgy

Via Red's Army  |  February 13, 2012
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...

Rajon Rondo did a lot of things in 21 seconds

Via The Nosebleeds  |  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...

Could Brandon Jennings be a trade piece for Rajon Rondo?

Via CLNS Radio  |  February 13, 2012
    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 [...]

Volvo Biggest Fan Challenge: The Garden 30

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...

The first of those matchups takes place Sunday in Boston, where the Celtics have won four of their last five games.
