Rondo's gone - torn ACL.

It's like we're cursed lately.

1. Celtics beat Heat 100-98 in 2 OT without Rondo

<snip>

"Paul Pierce hit a go-ahead jumper with 31 seconds left and the Boston Celtics beat the Miami Heat 100-98 in double overtime Sunday after learning that All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo was out for the season with a knee injury."

2. No comment from DU's jealous Lebron apologist about this.

[trumad]

5. yawn

Leave it to a Cowboys fan to get excited about a regular season game.

[madinmaryland]

6. When was the last time a dolphins fan was excited about a regular season game??

:yawn:

[trumad]

7. hey we suck no doubt

And we know it unlike the boy fans.

3. C's have had some tough season ending injuries the last couple/few of years.

Bradley, Green, KG, and now this. And a couple not worth mentioning.

[bluedigger]

4. It's probably time to blow up the team and play for the lottery.

Trade Pierce and/or Garnett and start rebuilding. Rondo won't be back until mid season next year, so two seasons of mediocrity ahead.

8. The Celtics knew they were getting older

They are riding it out. This might force them into serious rebuilding.

12. The blow up option/suggestion has been kicking around for a couple seasons now...

This might finally make it reality.

[bluedigger]

13. I have reevaluated the situation.

The only two players they have of value are Pierce and Garnett. Pierce has often stated he wants to retire a Celtic and I'm inclined to let him do that - he's earned it.

Garnett has a no trade clause, I think, and a contract that is hard to deal, so he's not going anywhere. Sucks to be them, but this season is done, and next year is far away.

They should just play for the lottery.

[joeybee12]

14. Hey, I play for the lottery, too

Powerball, to be precise!

[bluedigger]

15. No offense, but I'll get more satisfaction from the Celtics' winning than you.

[joeybee12]

16. Dont hold your breath waiting for that satisfaction!

9. That sucks.

But injuries are a part of the game.

[bluedigger]

10. They are particularly devastating in basketball.

The smaller team size compared to the other major sports makes it harder to overcome the loss of a star.

[bigwillq]

11. But every team has had to deal with an injury

at one point.
This is nothing new.
