Found January 11, 2012 on Celtics Locker:
PLAYERS: JaJuan Johnson
TEAMS: Boston Celtics

The Celtics are a veteran heavy team that doesn’t have much P.T. for rookies.  That being said, they might have found a nugget in 26-year old center Greg Steimsma.  Steimsma has played in 6 games (1 start) for the Celtics so far this year and he is averaging 14.8 minutes, 3.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 2.2 blocked shots per game.  The Celtics love Steimsma’s defense and rebounding and he’s likely going to continue getting P.T. as Jermaine O’Neal tends to break down during the season.  22-year old power forward JaJuan Johnson has not gotten off the bench much so far this year.  He has played in 5 games (0 starts) for the Celtics so far this year and he is averaging 3.0 minutes, 0.8 points and 0.2 rebounds per game.  22-year old shooting guard E’Twaun Moore has also been nailed to bench so far this year.  Moore has played in 5 games (0 starts) so far this year for the Celtics and he is averaging 3.8 minutes, 1.0 point, 0.2 rebounds and 0.2 assi...

Vote: Do Celtics Need to Trade a Member of 'The Big Four'?

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

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...
