Celtics Over Heat – Rajon Rondo Enjoying the LeBron James Absence
The Boston Celtics aren’t a very good team, but once in a while they can do a bit better than everyone expects of them, as Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh weren’t enough to carry the Miami Heat through a game without LeBron James, while Rajon Rondo looked like a point guard worth keeping for the future.

Celtics vs Magic – Worst Game of the Season, So Far
When two teams combine to shoot 37.6% from the field, there’s a good chance the Boston Celtics and the Orlando Magic provided one of the worst game of the season, which is expected from both teams considering their aspirations and quality of players this season. The Celtics still won, barely, 91-89, making it two in a row.

Boston Celtics – No Longer the Worst Team in the NBA
It took the Boston Celtics more than a week to get their first win of the 2013-2014 NBA season, not to mention playing against the team which might be the worst in the league in the Utah Jazz. Brad Stevens has his first win as a head coach, but it’s hard to think of any one player, including point leaders Brandon Bass and Jeff Green, that generates hope for a better than mostly awful season.

Brandon Bass With the Biggest Dunk of His Career
Without too much to be playing for as the 7th spot is clinched for the Boston Celtics, they didn’t put in their biggest effort to try and beat the Brooklyn Nets, which are a better team anyway to begin with. At least Brandon Bass, someone the C’s need desperately to step up in order to get past the first round in the NBA playoffs, lifted off to produce the biggest dunk of his career.

Boston Celtics – Kevin Garnett Makes a Triumphant Return
There were two players who did a better job than Kevin Garnett as the Boston Celtics embraced their aging and injure-prone big man after more than two weeks off the court. Avery Bradley did an amazing defensive job on the red-hot John Wall while Brandon Bass put in what might have been his best offensive performance of the season. And still, with Paul Pierce having a bad night, the KG energy was inside the arena, pushing the Celtics to play better than they have without him.

Boston Celtics – The Losing Had to Stop at Some Point
If the Boston Celtics are going to get anywhere this season, which means beyond a first round berth in the NBA playoffs, it’s going to be up to guys like Jeff Green and Brandon Bass to start playing like NBA stars or close to that, instead of hoping Paul Pierce plays like it’s five years ago while Kevin Garnett somehow miraculously heals from his injury problems and most of all, old age.

Boston Celtics – Worthless Triple Doubles by Rajon Rondo
Back-to-back triple doubles don’t mean a thing when the Boston Celtics lose both games. Rajon Rondo is having an impressive statistical season, but that doesn’t mean he’s not part of the problem(s) causing the Celtics to lose six games in a row and fall three games below .500.

Rajon Rondo Responsible For Making Celtics Look This Good
Sounds easy enough – Don’t let Rajon Rondo drive into the paint. Just focus all your defensive energy on that, and you’ll be fine right? The Philadelphia 76ers were good as long as they had the hot hand going for them in the first half. Afterwards? Rondo and Brandon Bass just tore their defense to shreds, giving the Celtics a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Semi Finals.
