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.
But it might be wise to interject here that the Celtics point guard is on a rather historic run. Rondo has had double-figure assists in his last 11 games, a streak not seen since Deron Williams had a similar streak in February and March 2009 (Steve Nash did it in January and February 2007). Next up is Nash’s 14-game stretch in March and April 2005. (Note: The Elias Sports Bureau wouldn’t tell the Celts the NBA all-time mark, saying only that Rondo is “nowhere close to the record.”)
Herald - Rondo's run real assist for Celtics
“I think I was doing too much; instead of making the simple pass, I am making the home run pass,’’ he said. “That’s just how I play. I’ll try to do a better job of it. If I do turn it over, I just don’t want it to lead to an easy break or fast-break points.’’

Your Morning Dump... Where Rondo likes running with Bradley
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.
“I’m happy to play with him,” Rondo said. “He’s a great listener. He wants to get better each day and he’s working hard. If I get a little winded I try to get Avery to bring it up. I also try...
Rajon Rondo's Command of Celtics Offense Reaching Expert Level
All Rajon Rondo has done lately is be perfect. Rondo did have a few blights on his resume in Friday's win over the Timberwolves. He committed two turnovers and hit only three of his 11 shots, if we're splitting hairs, but those flaws hardly registered during a 17-assist performance in which he commanded the Celtics offense as well as he has all season. Rondo extended his...
Rajon Rondo ball fakes make Paul Millsap dizzy
Here's the proper way to watch this video.
Step 1: Watch it all the way through and be amazed at Rondo's control of the ball and ability to spot his man.
Step 2: Watch it again but focus on Paul Millsap (#24). At the beginning of the video, he's at the top of the key to Rondo's left.
Step 3: Offer Paul Millsap Dramamine for the...
Rondo-Rubio I: Entertainment Put on Hold
Once I started to realize that I might be able to afford tickets to the Garden this season, the question of which game to attend came up. I scoured the Celtics home schedule, however I wasn't seeking out LAL, MIA, CHI, or NYK. No, I was looking for something that no Boston fan has looked forward to since 2007: "MIN."
Why did I want to see the Minnesota Timberwolves...
Pass of the year
So I was searching through old posts and I couldn’t find any posts about Rajon Rondo’s AMAZING pass he made a couple weeks ago against the Warriors. Personally, and I’m sure you guys will agree, that this is the pass of the year for sure. People need to understand how hard of a pass this is to make:
^That pass is almost as good as his magical pass he made during this summer...
Comments from the other side - Wolves 3/30
That was fun. I love it when KG gets so fired up. He's so much fun to watch. Wolves fans have mixed feelings about the Big Ticket: fond memories, feelings of betrayal, love, hate,admiration. You name it and there is a fan feeling it. I think the comment that cracked me up the most was "Hey look it's that guy we traded for Al Jefferson". Of all the hate...
Recap: C's beat Jazz, make it 3 in a row
I have not seen a better 1st half from the Boston Celtics in a long time. Everything was clicking; Rondo was driving and dishing, Pierce was attacking, KG was nailing jumpers and everyone was playing great defense. The C's held the Jazz to 37% from the field, and only turned the ball over 2 times. Rondo and Ryan Hollins connected on 2 alley-oops, and the C's went into...
Celtics 100, Timberwolves 79: Four in a row
The Celtics seized sole possession of the Atlantic Division lead for the first time all season, Rajon Rondo dominated an NBA game while shooting three for 11 and scoring six points, Avery Bradley continues to masquerade as a perfectly solid starting shooting guard, Kevin Garnett and crew made Kevin Love slightly uncomfortable all night long, and the aging process (except for you...
Taking Stock: Celtics - Jazz
After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value.
Starters
Rajon Rondo: Ho Hum, another double-digit assist night. And as a bonus, 9 of his assists led to makes at the rim. Very often, Rajon is assisting on long jumpers. It's nice to see a more uptempo game where guys are getting dunks. It'...
Boston Celtics Defeat Minnesota Timberwolves, Move Into First Place
The Boston Celtics defeated the Minnesota Timerwolves last night, 100-79, and with that win combined with a Philadelphia 76ers loss to the Washington Wizards, the Celtics have moved into first place in the Atlantic Division. Kevin Garnett led the team with 24 points, and Paul Pierce threw in 21. Rajon Rondo had 17 assists [...]
Is this as good as it gets for the Celts?
Today is clearly the high water mark of the Celtics season so far. For the first time all year they sit alone atop the Atlantic Division, and last night in Minnesota they played maybe their most complete yet. Boston jumped out to an early lead, held it throughout, and then put the Timberwolves away by outscoring them 21-12 in the 4th quarter, while allowing just one point in...
Celtics 94, Jazz 82
Kevin Garnett scored 23 points and added 10 rebounds, and Rajon Rondo had 14 assists to lead the Boston Celtics to a 94-82 victory over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night.
The win was Boston's fifth in six tries. The Celtics moved into a tie with the Philadelphia 76ers atop the Atlantic Division.
Former Celtic Al Jefferson had 18 points and 12 rebounds for the Jazz, scoring 10...
