RAJON RONDO RUMORS & GOSSIP

Getting tough may not get Celtics even

MIAMI - When Rajon Rondo suggested in the aftermath of the Celtics' loss to Miami in the opener of the Eastern Conference finals that if Dwyane Wade and LeBron James go to the basket, they need to "hit the deck," it was not surprising. The Celtics, looking old, injured and overmatched, are clearly searching for something that can turn the series into, well, a series...

Rajon Rondo's Unpredictability as Detrimental to Celtics as It Is Dangerous for Opponents

Rajon Rondo's greatest weapon against opponents is also his most worrisome trait for the Celtics, and it is developing into a serious problem. Throughout Rondo's career, the point guard has alternated stellar performances with stagnant ones, and the trend has held true in these playoffs.

Heat 93, Celtics 79: Not a perfect start to the Eastern Conference Finals, eh?

The Celtics need to be zoned in for 48 full minutes (or reasonably close to it) to beat the Heat. They need Rajon Rondo to play like a superstar.

This is their first double-digit playoff loss, so we’ll see how they adjust and respond on Wednesday....

Recap: Rajon Rondo takes over down the stretch, Celtics advance

It looked like a killer moment for the Celtics.  Paul Pierce had committed his 6th foul with 4:16 left in a 3 point game.  The tide appeared to be turning.  This was truly a game changing moment. Except... It changed the game in the Celtics favor.... because Rajon Rondo went absolutely effing nuts.  He scored 11 of the Celtics next 12 points, including a long jumper to beat...
