Thoughts Going Into Game 4
celticsgreen.blogspot.com 6/12/2008 — The Celtics have to be a little encouraged going into game 4. Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett both had terrible games. Rondo went down in the 3rd quarter. Kobe was having a great game. The Celtics were in foul trouble. And yet, they were still in ...
It's the Lakers' Court, but it's the Celtics' House
myespn.go.com 6/13/2008 — "Kobe," says Celtic Coach Doc Rivers, "might be the best help defender since Pippen." In the first quarter, that reality was a grave problem for the Celtics. Rajon Rondo was not having his best night, and Kobe Bryant was leaving Rondo at will to ...
Thoughts Going Into Game 5
celticsgreen.blogspot.com 6/15/2008 — The Celtics must win game 5. The Celtics are beat up and Perk, Pierce and Rondo are all hurting along with assorted other aches and pains. Long plane trips are not good for injuries and the plane trip back to Boston may aggravate the knees, ...
Dear Lakers: You Got Rondo'd
myespn.go.com 6/18/2008 — A week ago, Rajon Rondo could hardly move. The bone bruise on his ankle, sustained in the third quarter of Game 3, was so bad a week ago that just walking a lap around the team hotel in Los Angeles was an accomplishment worth crowing about to ...

Crown 'em
Why the Celtics won: Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo played aggressively all night. Throughout the series both KG and Rondo have either been passive at the same time or took turns being passive, especially on the offensive end. Tonight Rondo overcame a bad start shooting the ball by getting after it defensively and pushing [...]

Rajon Rondo: Point Guard, Aspiring Movie Critic —
Intentional Foul
If you’ve been watching the NBA Finals, you’ve undoubtedly heard of Rajon Rondo. He’s the Boston Celtics point guard who is more athletic than most players in the league. As a player, he’s one win away from being apart of history with an NBA Championship and apparently, the guard who grew up in Louisville, KY is also an aspiring movie critic.
Rondo has a blog over ...
Rondo is the Biggest Problem for Boston —
Dime Magazine
There are times - like most of last night - where Rajon Rondo literally can’t be on the floor in these Finals. He’s not taking (or making) open shots, he’s turning the ball over, and he’s not making good decisions with the ball in his hands (remember the play we mentioned in Smack today where [...]

It's important to note that Boston is only up 3-1, LA was within striking distance at the end of two of those losses, and Kendrick Perkins and Rajon Rondo will not be 100%. I'm particularly worried about Perk. I like the win one of the next three odds, but the Celtics must get it done. To that end I was happy to see that Rondo just went and blogged after the game . I'm assuming he did that ...

Rajon Rondo walked onto the Staples Center floor at 6:27 p.m., EDT. He had both ankles taped, his injured left ankle no more heavily wrapped than his right.
The Celtics point guard did some light shooting. He got good elevation on his jump shot. He was relaxed and joked with his ball boys.

The Lakers Nation
Putting Kobe on Rondo? Brilliant (Why didn’t Phil do this earlier?).
Kobe defending Eddie House the same way he defended Rondo? Not so much.
As much as we laud Kobe as a great defender, he does not do screens well. To be fair to Kobe, if the screen involved Garnett then in most instances it was an illegal one… but still.

What would you do if your Doc Rivers? You can either stick with Rajon Rondo or give more minutes to Eddie House and Sam Cassell . Each of the three come with major liabilities. So, here’s the breakdown:
Rajon Rondo - He’s the best out of the three at running the offense, but everybody knows he can’t\won’t shoot. It reminds me of Avery Johnson when he was on the ...

Rajon Rondo has been a revelation of sorts in the postseason. Sure, he's simply doing what he's been doing all year, but now it's all happening on a national scale. Unfortunately for the Celtics, though, he wasn't able to do much of anything after spraining his ankle last night. He finished the game playing just 22 minutes, his fewest of the postseason. After the game, he wrote about the ...
