PrintThree point shooting was pretty lousy last night as was the free-throw shooting, but all in all, most of our your Celtics had some pretty good numbers against the Pacers. Of all of them, one set in particular stood out...
Rajon Rondo: 14 Points, 8 Rebounds, 8 Assists, 7 Steals, 2 Turnovers.
That's not too shabby for a rookie point guard. Some were sold on him before he ever played an NBA game. Most of us weren't. That perspective has changed quite a bit though. The kid has sort of been making believers out of us this year. Had last night's game gone into an overtime or two, Rondo might well have gone joined an elite group of the few NBA players who have accomplished quadruple-doubles (without double-digit turnovers). My understanding is that, in the entire history of the NBA, it has only happened four times.
- Nate Thurmond, October 18, 1974, Chicago vs. Atlanta; 22 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists, 12 blocks.
- Alvin Robertson, February 18, 1986, San Antonio vs. Phoenix; 20 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals.
- Hakeem Olajuwon, March 29, 1990, Houston vs. Milwaukee; 18 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists, 11 blocks.
- David Robinson, February 17, 1994, San Antonio vs. Detroit; 34 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 blocks.
We love Rajon's work ethic, speed, athleticism, guts, smarts and...what about those hands! Yes, indeed. What about them? Well, you just knew it was only a matter of time before someone came up with something like this. Behold, Rondo's hands!
Happy Easter, everyone!

Rondo will get his shot down and be the whole package. Brian Shaw and Dee Brown were both bad shooters when they came in and went out 3 pt specialsits. I was happy to see Telfair’s good night. I tought he played well against Miami too. I’m not sure we need an experienced vet. That’s what Pierce, Wally and Theo are. Chicago would be better if they kept Tyson Chandler instead of getting the veteran Ben Wallace. Our guys are coming on, especially Perk of late. Gerald showed that incredible potential vs Miami. Danny, don’t make any nutty trades. Jiri Welsch was a bust. Watching how insignificant Dickau has become is proof to me that Danny’s trading touch is not good. Being better than McHale is no consolation. The youth program is close to paying off. Hold steady, take whatever draft pick we get and don’t buy anybody else’s baggage.
Triboy16 said: Rondo just needs a shot badly to be the whole package. Reason why his shot isn’t been there is that, the guy plays 110 speed all the time. He needs to look at someone like Nash, and slow things down, let things come to him also. His shot will then improve alot more
I think that’s a good point. It is also one Doc alluded to a week or two ago when he said Rajon needed to learn how to ‘control his speed.’
