A picture is worth a thousand words

you like his tattoos?

Best hustle play in sports in years....maybe ever.

Rondo is on top of the heap at this point. The future is bright around here, as free agents will want to play with a guy like him.

Good point about the free agents, Mrkleen.

Think he wishes he were negotiating a new contract this year instead of last?

He will get his. I think Rondo is happy and playing very controlled and carefree basketball.

Rondo is the single most effective player in the playoffs so far and it aint all that close.

He is the one player whom has to play at least well for us.

Can we get DWade? What...? Oh, I've already asked it 27 times? Sorry, well, never try - never get.
By the way, can Celtics get DWade after July 1?

I dont think the Celtics are going to get any of the real big fish in this free agency period...unless some of their big guys are willing to restructure deals or resign at lesser rates.

There are still many good players that are a bit further down the list like Carlos Boozer, Udonis Haslam, Mike Miller, Drew Gooden, John Salmons, or Earl Watson that could help out here.

Rondo has blossomed beyond expectations during these playoffs. As all of you know I usually see the cup as half empty. However the effort exerted by the team in general and Rondo specifically can't help but draw praise from every corner. The Celts are well prepared for whoever the opponent is in The Finals. Having beaten Wade & Miami, James & the Cavs, and having Howard and the Magic on the brink of elimination we have shut down the EC's best guard, forward & center in succession. Forget the wins (but I won't). The effort I'm seeing merits Celtic Pride to its' Zenith (not a television). Doc Rivers has the right idea to preach humility among the team members to keep the hunger burning in the belly. Let's hope the ECF can be put on ice tonight so the Suns can stretch the Lakers out as long as possible. Great to see the by play between KG and Rajon at the press conference Sat. night. Steve Smith (NBA TV) is now touting Rivers as the NBA's best coach. I'm not sure I'd go that far, but it's evident he knows how to get the MAX effort from this group of Celts. That's all that matters now to what is looking like a very memorable drive in this franchise's history. Considering the history of the franchise, that's saying quite a mouth full! Go Celtics!-MD!

Your thoughts echo WHY we won those series and are on the brink of this one...........WADE and the heat, BRON and the cavs, now HOWARD and the magic.

Marcus wore his green celtic shirt to the Chiefs baseball game in Syracuse last eve........on the front it says BOSTON IS A BROTHERHOOD and on the back WE NOT ME!

Great point about maximum effort from his players but also from himself. I think next to Rondo, the MVP has to be Doc. I wouldn't be surprised if Rondo does get this if the Celtics win it all, he will publicly hand it to or at least try to hand it to Doc. That would be a telling scene for the ages.
