Rajon Rondo

The Celtics held a their annual open practice for season ticket holders yesterday at the Garden and I was able to gather a little bit of footage.  For those unable to attend, enjoy the clips of some of the scrimmage below. Some highlights from the first part: 1:10 mark – Rondo and KG alley-oop 1:40 [...]

Scott and I are back from today’s Celtics Open Practice, and I have to say I was impressed. First I need to give a huge shout to all the fans that came out. For a rainy Sunday morning, the place was packed. We arrived about 45 minutes before the Garden opened, and the building was [...]

Thanks to Sportsgal1972, I had the pleasure of attending today’s open practice at the Garden. Despite all the action, the highlight of the afternoon was this woman’s Rajon Rondo jacket. Straight money. I gotta get two of these for John and Jay. The Celtics treated this as a real practice. Assistant coach Kevin Eastman explained [...]

One of the most impressive turn-around this preseason has been Rajon Rondo’s free throw shooting.  He shot 77% from the line, giving us the hope that his effectiveness can continue, and provide the Celtics a new scoring weapon. But one thing stood out with Rondo at the line.  His routine looks different.  Every coach in [...]

Here we get a look at another one of Rajon’s new player exclusive kicks for the 2012-13 season. These are the Nike Hyperfuse high. The pair in the first pic have an all-black tongue & volt accents and appear to be the “home version”. The “away” version are quite similar, only with the black accents [...]

Counterkicks gives us a good look at one of Rajon Rondo’s player exclusive kicks. These are the Nike Lunar Hypergamer low. Rajon rocked a white, green & volt version of this shoe against Philly last week. This pair is electric green & volt with white accents. It features Nike’s Lunarlon cushioning in the sole and [...]

There’s a pervasive myth out there that you can sag off of Rajon Rondo and render him ineffective.  People will point to the Lakers as an example of how putting Kobe Bryant on Rondo and letting him roam is an effective strategy. But that’s overly simplistic, and doesn’t take into account other matchup issues, and [...]

The Celtics ended their 2012-13 preseason with a loss to the Philadelphia 76er’s last night. Rondo & Jeff Green both had 12 points in a losing effort as the C’s fell 88-79 at TD Garden. Enjoy some pics & GIFs via Sina/HoopChina.. [...]

Jeff Green and the Celtics took care of the Knicks in Albany last night, 109-96. If you missed the game, check out Jay’s recap to see video of Green’s absolutely ruthless block on Mychel Thompson. Trust me-it’s worth a look. C’s wrap-up the preseason tonight at TD Garden as they face the Sixers. Tip-off is [...]

After starting slow and sluggish, the Celtics used a 24-9 run to close out the first half and never looked back.  The Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire-less Knicks jumped out to a 28-15 first quarter lead against the KG and Paul Pierce-less Celtics and actually led by as many as 19.  Jeff Green led all [...]
