After explaining to the media his part in the Celtics’ latest improbability — a 118-114 triple-overtime victory over the streaking Denver Nuggets — Kevin Garnett wiped the sweat off his bald head, placed the towel on a jug of Gatorade, and touched the Celtics logo that welcomes those who walk into the locker room.
It was more than a symbolic gesture. Garnett said last week that he bleeds green, but his dedication to the organization that saved him from insignificance in Minneapolis is the primary reason he wouldn’t allow the Celtics to sulk and then sink after losing Rajon Rondo to a torn right anterior cruciate ligament.

Quite simply - they are more fun to watch. It was PAINFUL to watch them earlier in the year. I don't blame Rondo but he took the air out of the ball and the others - the new guys - seemed afraid to assert themselves! Lets see what they can do. Don't break them up Danny!
This is becoming really interesting. Is it possible thet are a better team without Rondo? Amazing how quickly the chemistry improved without him. They beat the best team in basketball (at the moment) last night. Great coach!!
