On this day in Celtic history: Rajon Rondo got 23 assists
ESPN Boxscore
Two years ago on this day, Rajon Rondo got 23 assists along with 12 points and 10 rebounds for a triple-double. In a game on 01/05/11, the Celtics beat the Spurs 105-103 to get to 27-7. These were the days when we were still a pre-christmas juggernaut. Great statline from Rondo, and a fun memory to look back upon.

Rajon Rondo and home-bias assists
Is Rondo getting some home-court advantage with his numbers?
An interesting post on Sunday from Hoopdata’s Blake Murphy discussing whether or not players get added benefits when it comes to the scoring of assists when the player is at home.
The assist, more than any other statistic in sports besides the lacrosse assist and the baseball error, is most affected by how the scorer...
Rajon Rondo wishes the Celtics had more ‘sore losers’ on their roster
The Boston Celtics came away with a much-needed victory over the Indiana Pacers on Friday night, snapping a four-game losing streak. Boston improved its record to 15-17, but has still lost eight out of its last 11 games. The return of Avery Bradley should help the Celtics get back on track — particularly on defense — but they need to improve on both sides of the ball. According...

If the Boston Celtics do in fact go on to great things this season, tonight's game in Atlanta will featured prominently on the team's Championship DVD. They fell down early, fought their asses off to get back into the game, and suffocated the Hawks, holding them to an incredible 28 second half points. The Celtics pulled out the 89-81 victory, despite falling down by as many...
The Best of Tommy - Pacers 1/4
Tommy is such a treasure. The man has been a Celtic for over 50 years. He loves the Celtics and I love that about him. Other teams' fans may bemoan the fact that they get the Celtics feed, but I hate listening to anyone else. Tommy started out with this gem:
On Rondo's importance to the Celtics "He has to be, in an essence, the rabbit for the greyhounds.Let'...

Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley Lead Rousing Win Over Pacers That Leaves Celtics Still Grasping for Consistency
BOSTON — The Celtics started Friday’s game like every other since their post-Christmas hangover began. They missed makeable shots, fired up 3-pointers early in the shot clock and looked all-around lost on offense.
A funny thing happened when they looked up at the scoreboard at the end of the first quarter, though. Despite shooting 29 percent from the field and committing as many...

Kevin Garnett: KG bounced back from a slightly poor game by dominating an overmatched Pacers frontcourt. He put up a typical 36-year old Garnett statline: 18 points on 50% shooting, with 7 rebounds and excellent defense. You cannot ask for much more. Also he set the tone physically, and...

Rondo, Pierce help Celtics rally past Hawks
After listening to Doc Rivers lecture the Boston Celtics at halftime, Paul Pierce told his teammates to respect their coach and follow orders.
