Rajon Rondo injury clouds Celtics future

This was Black Sunday for the Green. The Celtics’ season went up in smoke like one of the victory cigars that parquet patriarch Red Auerbach used to puff.

What should have been a Sunday of celebration as the wobbling Celtics snapped their six-game losing streak by tapping into a reservoir of Celtic Pride for a 100-98 double-overtime victory over the hated Miami Heat was a lost cause on Causeway Street. The Celtics’ win and the return of Ray “Benedict” Allen were rendered footnotes by the right knee of point guard Rajon Rondo.

This seems to be the opinion of the "experts". I'm not so sure - and only time will tell who is correct. The Celtics team is chock full of talent yet they usually s---. Why? I don't think it's because of Doc's coaching. Maybe Rondo's mercurial personality does not serve to get the best out of people. Frankly, I don't see how the team can be worse off.
