Why Rajon Rondo Wasn’t Enough to Lift the Celtics Over the Heat

Rajon Rondo pulled off an historic night – Not getting a second’s rest, playing 53 minutes, scoring 44 points while adding 10 assists and 8 rebounds.

No song from any nation can really eclipse the weirdness/awesomeness of Jarzebina’s tune for the Polish effort in Euro 2012, but not all national team songs have to be that weird. Like ‘No Hay Dos Sin Tres’, sung by David Bisbal, Cali & El Dandee, backing the Spanish team of course.

Boston Celtics Lost the Game – Referees Didn’t Give it to Miami Heat

Instead of trying to convince everyone of how the non-call on Rajon Rondo being fouled by Dwyane Wade ruined the game, the Boston Celtics need to figure out how to win Game 3 and stay alive in this series.
