It was a classic Celtics box score from Rondo in the loss to his former team: 14 points, 15 assists, five rebounds, and six steals. The C's buried his squad, who is now thinking once again about firing coach George Karl.
An even-keeled, not particularly emotional Rondo didn't seem surprised in the slightest by how overwhelming the Celtics have become as a team over a year after he was traded away.
They play well as a team. They may be 13, 14 guys deep. You never know who's going to get it going for them each night.
