Darling, you misunderstood me, I wrote Doc said that Rondo was waiting for the team to get in place, as in his defense, but I also wrote as the answer to the question is it Rondo's or Doc's fault, neither. Next time read more carefully, please, I would appreciate it.
Your Morning Dump... Where Rondo's all grow'd up (Part 2)

As I recall, that slowing down was waiting for others to get in their positions, I think Doc actually said that. So neither.
And for this peace, I do believe he'll mature, why wouldn't he? He's aware of his actions, and he's intelligent enough to correct his mistakes.

He wants to play in New York, and he will. If not this season then surely next one. Melo got what he want, and all they need now is to get cp3 there too. That will happen, I believe, and having him for this season only, well... I still don't think he's better then Rondo, and I do not understand this fascination with this guy.I really do believe that Rondo on a bad team would be just as great. Call me crazy.
Chris Paul "has no interest in a long-term future in Boston"
Lakers, Warriors, Clippers leading race for Chris Paul - Sam Amick - SI.com via kwout The Celtics may have felt that they could convince Chris Paul to stay here if he just gave it a shot, but it might just be time to accept the fact that he won't even entertain the thought. More disturbing a...
this start to look more like get rid of Rondo, then get Paul.
Your Morning Dump... Hornets with lukewarm interest in Celtics offers
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. The Celtics have reportedly changed their stance on whether they'd require a long-term commitment before trading for Paul. It w...
This all will come out wrong. Do you people think that some superstar, any superstar will come to Boston after seeing what treatment our beloved PG is getting here? A guy that leaves it all out? Ok he had some off days, but don't we all?! This is all wrong. We won't get a superstar player, but the worse thing is that the player we have, this great player with this unique skill set and probably out of his time, might not be very into playing his heart out for this team, because, as most of you are saying( but I would say copying the same wrong idea), he's not welcomed. I really don't like where all of this is going, and only one person will get out of this clean, and that's Rondo.
Video: Felger calls Rondo a "prick" on TV
I'm going to show a lot of restraint here when I say this about Michael Felger: He likes to take extreme stances to get reactions out of people. It's his thing. But sometimes, he can go to far. Like what he said about Rajon Rondo tonight. It comes at the end of the video above, where...
Seriously?! I just can't believe what all of you are writing. Just unbelievable. No brainer?! Seriously?!!! For Doc's system Rondo is a fit, not Chris Paul, and who said that Dwight doesn't want to play with Rondo? I might be wrong, but you surely are.
Fanning the Rajon Rondo for Chris Paul flames
Welcome to rumor season. The Morning Dump set the stage by letting everyone know Danny Ainge was open to trading Rajon Rondo. Now, people have jumped on that to ask about a Rondo for Chris Paul swap. And some writers are taking the bait. Twitter / @johnhollinger: Not sure how he feels...
He got extended summer, recovered his body and had enough time for himself and his family. Sure he's enjoying it. Lockout is out of his hands, so I don't see why he should be miserable just for us to feel a bit better about it. He is enjoying his life, and we should enjoy ours, nothing wrong with that. Basketball should be our pleasure, but the lack of it shouldn't demolish us, cause I'm sure every one of us, including players and owners, have at least one other thing in our life more important than it. I'm actually pleased with his honesty.

I like it too. It's funny, even with that little vomit included.

Maybe somewhere in this story lies a reason why he was traded. Who knows? This is just a joke, I have no idea what's happening, but I'm sure I don't like it.
What the hell happened to Perk?
The story surrounding Kendrick Perkins arrest continues to evolve. KFDM in Texas is no longer reporting that Stephen Jackson was arrested. KIID TV reports Perk was treated briefly for dehydration and being overheated on Thursday night. KFDM says a 27-year old was taken by ambulance from Jackso...
Actually, that makes perfect sense. But I wouldn't be that gentle picking just one from each conference, I would pick one from each division. It may be cruel, but it's not about quantity of teams and games played.

You're right, we are not post-Lebron Cleveland Cavaliers, but also we are not the '05 Celtics, so we(fans) shouldn't judge Wyc for something said 6 years ago. I really dislike that Yahoo guy, his angle of perception is somehow limited to me. I don't have same points of view now like I did 6 years ago, I'm sure Mr Wojnarowski doesn't have some of his points of view same as 6 years ago, so why presuming that something Wyc said 6 years ago is still believed to be truth? I'm not saying it's not, just it's more logical that under different circumstances opinions do change. Until Wyc confirms he stands the same, I don't see why would we even worry about it that much.
Where do we stand with Wyc?
Fans are bitter over the existing lockout imposed by the owners of the NBA. We want basketball to happen next season but that doesn’t appear to be a likely scenario. Many writers and insiders are speculating that the owners are doing everything in their power to prevent next season from happeni...
Sclerotic old man, he should know when he was done, and that is for a while now. Since he is not aware of himself, there should be a law, at what age you have to retire, not as a choice, but a must do. I have nothing against old people, but everyone should be aware of their own limitations.
I don't understand league system in USA bball, honestly I'm not even trying to, but it looks like monopoly and authoritarianism, if it's the right word, and a very bad thing in that kind of system is having an idiot in charge. I believed he should be the link in between, not taking sides, silly me. Is he commissioner for life?! I'm starting to worry he'll live long enough to destroy the league entirely ("I am, and no one after me").
This makes me sad.

Thank you :)
Words and Praises of Kevin Garnett
I was very bored waiting in line for Ray Allen’s new Jordan Brand shoes (Anticipation), when I decided to remember what it was like on July 31, 2007 when the announcement came that Kevin Garnett had been traded to the Boston Celtics. "Every coach I know would cut off his arm to have him." - ...
Well, that was in '05, we sucked then. I'm not so sure about that now. We shouldn't crucified him for something he said in '05.

I like it very much:)
It's sad that these vids are only what I'm enjoying right now.
GeeZee brings us 2010-11 season highlights
One of the great fans that I featured this season on "Fan Friday" put together a 2010-11 Celtics highlight video for everyone. GeeZee is from Riga, Latvia and is a die-hard C's fan. He's new to the world of creating videos, so please give feedback good, bad or indifferent via the comments. And s...
Well, I do think there's too much off court time during the games. I love the game, but pauses are too long. One game from start to the end last over 2 1/2 hours, and there's only 48 mins of real action, assuming it's a clean game.
Czar Stern wants to speed up games
The length of games is a concern of David Stern and the NBA Board of Governors, reports TrueHoop's Henry Abbott. One consideration is to reduce the number of time-outs. But Abbott did a little experiment that exposes the real problem: Now, to the NBA rulebook, where we learn that NBA timeouts a...
we need a good post player not another shooter
Cue the speculation: Jamal Crawford?
Hoops World drops the name today. If the mid-level and bi-annual salary exceptions still exist in the next Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), the Celtics would be an interesting destination for Crawford. The Celtics were eliminated in five games by the Miami HEAT in the second round of th...
Darling, if the trade didn't happened I'm not sure Paul would get through season, and if there's going to be a hole in starting lineup, then I'd prefer the one at center, then the one at SF. But you missed my point, so let me repeat it
WHO CARES NOW?!!!

And that Herald story, about CBA, has a really stupid part about trading Rondo & Jeff. People, that ain't happening.

It is the story now, because they make it sounds like Danny wanted to get rid of Perk no matter what, and I don't believe that's the case. We really needed a wing, and maybe Danny wanted Jeff from the start, but didn't ask cause he's the player they got from us.
Who knows, but more importantly, who cares?!
If you ask me, that was a good trade, and I do not care what should've or should have not be. Time will tell, but one things for sure: It can't be undone, so I can't understand why obsessing over and over and over and over...

Dan LeBatard Bashes Celtics, City of Boston in Wake of Heat Knocking C's From Playoffs
If you thought the Miami Heat went a little bit overboard in their celebration in the moments after they knocked off the Celtics on Wednesday, well then you obviously haven't heard Dan LeBatard's latest podcast. LeBatard, the Miami Herald columnist, occasional Pardon the Interruption fill-in and...
Danny is the guy who stayed with Rondo when no one believed in him, so I'm not going to underestimate his believing in Green, just because I would like Perk's still with this team.
Will Paul Pierce come off the bench next year?
Danny Ainge had some interesting stunning comments on WEEI: On the starting lineup changing: "Maybe there’s a change of roles. Maybe Paul comes off the bench, cuts down on his minutes. Maybe we find a way to get Jeff more minutes. His role will expand if he’s back here next year. There’s no ques...
Rondo looks relieved on this video. I think this was really tough season on him. Now he has a long summer to recover from all of his maladies, and next year we'll have a special kind of Rondo. He is a tough SOB, as you may call him, but I'm not sure we know even a half of the story.
And all the stories of trading him that I've read today were just foolish.
Your Morning Dump... Where Rondo is a tough SOB
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. Rajon Rondo arguably played with a wider assortment of injuries than any other Celtic this season. The point guard sprained b...
So refs got their fingers in every game except the one we actually won?! Intentional or not, they blew it,or didn't, depending on a moment.
This eats me alive, knowing that C's could actually win those games even with crappy playing. Maybe they wouldn't, but still...
Eh, now will never know.
Anyway, now it's time to make a wish, 'cause miracle might be bored.
LeBron traveled, the refs blew it, and now our season is almost over
LeBron James scored a key bucket in the paint that put Miami up two with :48 left. Paul Pierce would later tie it and... well... we know what happened to end regulation. But it should never have gotten to that point. The referees blew an OBVIOUS traveling call on LeBron James on that bucket. ...
It's hard for me to get any satisfaction when we don't know where we stand yet. Yes, we won game 3, so it will not be something like this, but it will feel the same if our C's don't do what they are capable of, and dismiss Heat. Still you've got to be a bit nostalgic, cause Lakers are team we want to beat in finals, and we know now that wont happen.
And about that Bynum move, just classless. This shouldn't be a league of "I'm going down, but some of you I'm taking with me". If you can't play like a man, the least you can do is lose like a one.
Stay classy, LA
The Lakers season came to a spectacular end this afternoon in Dallas. Nothing screams "quitting" like a 36-point ass-whooping in an elimination game. Rather than go out with an ounce of class, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom chose to drop a few cheap shots on the Mavs in garbage time. Even ...
