  • Ray Allen Left the Boston Celtics Because of Rajon Rondo and Doc Rivers

    It wasn’t just one thing that caused Ray Allen, after five years with the Boston Celtics, to sign with the Miami Heat during free agency, probably the Celtics’ biggest rivals over the last two years. A combination of being fed up with his relationship with Rajon Rondo and the rotation decision made by his head coach, Doc Rivers, made it an easier decision to leave.

  • 13 NBA Point Guards Better Than Jeremy Lin

    The Houston Rockets, via their poison-pill contract, have ensured that Lin will be one of the highest paid players in the NBA in 2014-2015, earning just under $15 million that season. While financially Lin’s presence will probably pay-off the contract, he’s not that good.

  • London 2012 – 5 Players Who Should Be on the USA Dream Team

    Did the 12 best players in the NBA get into the 2012 Summer Olympics Team? Probably, considering all the injuries, which included Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. But with both LeBron James and Kevin Durant on the team, maybe both Carmelo Anthony and Andre Iguodala wasn’t necessary.

  • Rajon Rondo Wins & Whines; Dwyane Wade Not “Clutch” Enough

    Overtime for the second time, but the Boston Celtics, just barely, come out on top. No legendary night from Rajon Rondo, just a very good one – same goes for Kevin Garnett. On the other end, for the Miami Heat, Dwyane Wade missed the potentially game winning shot, while LeBron James had to sit out the ending after fouling out.

  • 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. He was shooting like crazy from beyond the arc (at a garbage time finish) and from long range. And it was nearly enough. But it takes more to beat the Miami Heat with LeBron James and Dwayne Wade.

  • 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. In a Conference Finals of adjustments, having James and Wade isn’t enough for the Heat. They’re simply making better adaptations to the situations.

  • Big Plays From LeBron James & Dwyane Wade Overcome Career Night from Rajon Rondo

    Rajon Rondo didn’t rest for a second, playing 53 minutes and scoring a career high of 44 points. It was only enough to get the Celtics into overtime against the Miami Heat, losing 111-115 to go down 0-2 as they head back to Boston.

  • Rajon Rondo, the Boston Celtics’ Only Chance

    When Rajon Rondo finally managed to pull off his usual pump-fake and spin to get himself an open look in the Heat’s pain, he got rejected by LeBron James and landed straight on his face. Typical for the way the Celtics performed during their bad stretches in Game 1, and an ominous sign for the rest of the series.

  • LeBron James With A Little Help From His Friends (Celtics vs Heat)

    LeBron James, as always and especially since Chris Bosh has left the crusade for an NBA title, did much of everything, leading the Miami Heat to a very convincing Eastern Conference Finals Game 1 win over the Boston Celtics, 93-79.

  • Why the Heat – Celtics Series Makes the Best Finals in the Eastern Conference

    I’ll tell you a little secret – I was rooting for the Philadelphia 76ers to make it out. Not that they were such underdogs against a flawed, old and inconsistent Boston Celtics team. But they were the inferior of the two contestants. Eventually, the lack of a go-to-guy on offense was too much for the little 8th seed that almost could.
