Rondo: The most talent since I've been a Celtic

[Rios15]

It may just be two preseason games into the season, but the Celtics already look like a team that has been playing together for a two seasons.

Not that the competition was even on Sunday, but the C's did what they needed to do from top to bottom to blow out EA7 Emporio Armani, 105-75.

Rajon Rondo got things started in the first quarter, shooting 7-7 for 17 points. His teammates took care of the rest.

"I think these past four, five days that we've been here we've been able to bond and it's translated on the court and as far as chemistry," Rondo said after the win. "We're moving the ball better than I think we've ever have in the past couple of years I've been here. So we're very unselfish, not just on the offensive end of the floor but defensively we try to help one another and it's translating on the court."

Rondo went a little further though.

"We have a lot of talented guys, the most talent [since] I've been here as a Celtic."

They really dislike Ray Allen now

 

[Pugz]

wait until they lose three in a row and start blaming everyone.

I don't think this team is any better than when the big 3 were together. That team won a championship.

They just lost to a European team on Friday haha.

You can see where this is going though. They're trying to send a message to Ray and the Heat.

 

[buzzy]

so bitter

We have a lot more depth than we've had before

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Yeah Rondo may be right. I know for a FACT HE is a lot better than he was on that championship team. KG and Pierce have slowed down some but they're still both great players, and like bosox said their overall depth/talent is greater. The difference is that they didn't have to go against the Heat/Lakers/Thunder as they are today.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Yeah, just because we are better doesnt mean that we have any easier chance of winning a title, because we have a far harder chance


Our bench is so good on paper right now though

JET, Green, Sully, Fab, Darko, Court (when Bradley comes back), Wilcox, Dionte Xmas.... such a nice squad to go with KG/Bass/Paul/Avery/Rondo
