Rajon Rondo dropped a career high 26 points to go along with six rebounds and five assists as the Celtics cruised to a 124-105 victory over the New York Pricks. The dude went 9-9 in the third quarter, the best quarter by any Celtic in the HISTORY of the organization.
Rondo continues to make a case for himself for the All-Star game as he has absolutely dominated the opposition during this 392 game winning streak. The Celtics improved to 26-2 and will go for the record for best start to an NBA season when the host the Philadelphia 76ers Tuesday night. Yours truly will be attending the game in hopes to be a part of history once again.
Seven Celtics scored in double figures tonight as the bench saw a lot of minutes early on. The Celtics got out to a large lead early in the game but the Knicks clawed back and kept it a relatively respectable game until the end when the Celtics pulled away for good. Like I said a couple days ago, I don't know if this team will ever lose again this year. They've been flawless in their play as of late and are playing great team basketball. I don't think I've ever seen a team pass the ball around so well.
Anyways I wrote the post congratulating the Celtics on going 27-2 a few days ago. I'm not going back on my post even though some people said I jinxed it. Show me someone who honestly thinks the Celtics will lose Tuesday night and I'll show you a liar.
