Game 4

In Cleveland...getting ready to go to bed...thought I would drop yall a few lines. I haven't done much today. We had practice and a film session earlier today, and after that I went to Hard Rock Cafe and ate. They have the best spinach dip! After eating, I spent some time with my cousins. They came up here from Louisville to see the games, so I chilled with them a little bit. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. My mom is in Boston. I set up a little surprise for her and my girl for Mother's Day. It was nice, and they really liked it. I wanted them to do something special even though I wasn't there. O...and my daughter is finally crawling. We're all excited about that. I'm about to lay it down now. I have to bring it tomorrow, so I need to get some rest. Keep cheering for us, and hopefully we will get this W tomorrow. I'll holla! O..one last thing. I was reading a lot of the comments that were posted about the Marvin Williams foul, and I just wanted to let everyone know that Marvin and I are coo. He didn't mean to hurt me, and there are no hard feelings. Marvin is my homie, and I'm doing fine..my back is ok. Thanks for being concerned though!

aw. mom's day surprise for the ladies = sweet.

you all can get the win, i know it. if you play as aggressively as you do when you're home, it won't be an off-shooting night for lebron, it'll be the entire cavs team getting shut down.

      It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman, the point is...it's his personal life. That's his little girl, I'm sure he doesn't want photos posted all over the internet of his child.
      
      It's always best to keep your personal life private, especially for stars and athletes.

Every time I see you go for a lay up I know Lebron is going to block it. Start using the rim to protect your shot on the lay up. Good luck. I don't really care about the east but hope you guys beat Cleveland and stop messing around. Don't make the series longer than it has to be.

Hoping for a game tonight. Just go out and play aggressively. You have done a great job so far and I know you will lead this team to victory. Thanks for checking in with us even though you have a lot going on now. Thanks for the Mother's day wishes. I am the mother of 5 and had a great Mother's day with my family. A win tonight by the Celtics would make it perfect.

We would all love to see a W tonight Rondo! Good luck and remember whatever happens we will always love you!

Does your mom and your gf go to a lot of your games? It's funny they show some players moms in the audience and they just go crazy for their sons. Nothing is better than a mother's love.

Hey Rajon, you guys just gotta do the obvious... I know its not like the Cavs are letting you do whatever you want.. but give Garnett the ball more! And get pauly some isos at the top of the key, and get some damn screens for my boy ray ray so he can finally do his thing too! And I know youve got some tricks up your sleeve too man, get your assists first but scare em a little bit with your scoring too. Peace- GET # 17 !!! - Ben

BIGKATDADDY said May 15, 2008

Rajon, just look at YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! What speed!! You are like the Flash. Do you feel like lightning when you zip thru the lane like that ? I, honestly, have to use the slow mo to figure out what you just did sometimes. It's like trying to follow the hands of a magician! There is so much to celebrate here. You have such a great touch on those floaters in the lane! You can tell the Cavs have pride in their defense & those floaters just kill them cuz they can't jump high enough to get at them. How about those 3's??? Why not ? Big time shots!!! I hope you read thru the comments because you need to know what JOY you are bringing people. God has blessed you with so many gifts. Speed like a voracious cheetah on the Serengetti Toughness like a bruising boxer taking punches for 12 rounds and still on your feet.. A touch llike Michelangelo except your canvas/marble covers 94 feet. I especially like to watch you when you can tell you're not just reacting. No, you're planning ahead, thinking things thru, watching, observing, and getting all cerebral on us. That is when you are at your best when you are outwitting your opponent. Probing for weaknesses. We all love watching your speed as you drive the lane and the creativity of a floater or a sweet pass when they collapse to hard on you. James is bearing down on you on a break. He can outjump you, but you got the brains & go reverse on him and use the rim to block his strength. Before Doc even said it in an interview, you could already tell that you had the brains to back up the skills. I keep praying for you. Thank God you play for my favorite team or I'd really be in agony. Charles got it wrong. Kenny & Ernie were right. I love KG, but You were the difference last game. Please keep driving the lane when you see the opening cause then YOU put so much pressure on their defense.......they have to GUESS & react to your speed .........is he going to shoot that floater, is he going to pass, should I foul him--he can hit free throws & put people in foul trouble.....whereas a jump shot doesn't make their defense think much at all. Thank you for that stifling D. When you force them to pick up their dribble, please bring the total eclipse down on them where they feel like they're in an abyss or blizzard.........they'd gladly pass the ball, but they can't even see a red jersey........their only hope is a t.o. Ok, thats enough of the things we like to see. I hope you can see what joy you're bringing us by how long this post is. I hate writing, but you deserve some kudos. THANKS RONDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been fortunate to be able to go to all the home games so far but I 'll have to miss some games next week due to my daughter is graduating from college...the nerve to interrupt the playoffs...jkjk! The last time we won, she was born. Now, our biggest chance thus far and she is graduating! I told her to rub some magic and make that something special happen again!!!!

This is one frustrated Celtics fan! Why are you sitting on that bench? I'm usually never a Rivers critic but I have yet to figure out why he sits you for the length of time that he does. Bordering on ridiculous. Anyone else agree? Last question - where was Szczerbiak all that time he was here in Boston? I'm still mad you are sitting on the bench and it looks like you are too.

Ok one more thing to say. Not to be nasty, because I'm proud of our former Celtics guys doing well out there in NBA land but after watching Delonte do an interview, I'm even more proud of our point guard than ever. Can he speak? Also, listen to Tommy Heinsohn about you. He knows what he's talking about and always has. See you on Sunday when the Celtics get to celebrate!

Good Luck with Detroit Man. I know you can hold your own against Chauncy. Don't listen to what everyone says. However, take this bit of advice. Especially with his hamstring injury, he can't hang with you. Blow past him, and exploit their defense from the inside out. Drive the lane and convert inside, and it will open up everyone outside around the arc to bury wide open jump shots on kick outs. Think about it man, but I'm sure Doc will be telling you the exact same thing.

admire ur game, Rondo. i was paying attention to detail in your postings about your nba life. just curious as to whether or not it ever gets stressful to the point where u wish u can go missing in action for a couple of weeks or does the love of the game motivate u enough to press through everything no matter how hectic your schedule gets or how unfavorably things may go for u?

Rondo, you have fans in Indonesia!!!!!!! We wake up at 7:00 am to watch the games. My girlfriend thinks your cute. She loved it when you went one on one in a fast break against Rasheed Wallace and then decided against it, wisely slowing up. She doesn't want you to get hurt! Next year you'll take him to the hole! You're an awesome edition to the Celtics and I hope you stay for many, many years.
