Rajon Rondo publicly called out some of his teammates earlier this week. Then he went out on Wednesday night and backed up his strong words, with a strong game against the Miami Heat. On a team with veterans like KG, Pierce, Ray Allen and Wallace it took a lot of guts for Rondo to speak out like that. Then to go out and perform with all that pressure on him. Sangfroid, baby.
I wrote off the championship after the recent losses to Orlando, Atlanta and LA. Concluded the Cs could not compete with the upper echelon teams. But if Rondo continues to play at the level we saw Wednesday night, and the grey-beards manage to all get healthy and rested for the playoffs, maybe this Cs team will have enough to win another championship. Hope so.
