In what seems to be a recurring theme, Rondo has once again come up big for the Celtics when they needed it most – recording a near triple double in Boston’s Game 7 win over Philadelphia (18 points, 10 assists, 9 rebounds).
3 votes – Rajon Rondo. He bounced back after a tough night at [...]

Oklahoma City of course have it, and the old men of the Celtics seemed to be drinking from it all game. Just a quick rundown of the points from me tonight, since nothing really out of the ordinary happened.

ONE: It’s a shame that the first Sunday Six Pack of the year has to be written in such depressing circumstances. Our Aussie NBA hero has once again gone down with a serious injury, this time as fractured left ankle. “It’s like someone has a voodoo doll of me and is putting pins in it”, [...]

A weekly wrap of the things you should know in basketball.
* This is too good. J.R. Smith’s sister brawls during a game in China.
* Check out these off-air doozies from the TNT crew – Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller and Kevin Harlan. My favourite; Charles calls his new gig as Weight Watchers spokesman “the greatest [...]

A weekly wrap of the things you should know in basketball.
