The Legend of Rondo continues…
“The lineup data supports the idea that Boston has found itself a defensive lineup for the ages… When Bradley and Garnett play together, Boston gives up 88.8 points per 100 possessions, allows 38.8 percent shooting and forces nearly one turnover for every assist. This is scary stuff, and it’s not one of those small-minute flukes, either — they’ve played 658 minutes together.”
Advanced stats guru John Hollinger on why Avery Bradley really really matters. Math is so boring though you guys. Going to go hang out in a Taco Bell parking lot and watch this clip of Avery Bradley blocking Dwyane Wade’s dunk instead. Bye.

So Barack Obama's going to feed on the NBA lockout and host a basketball game as a fundraiser for his re-election campaign

RONDO IS A BEAST.

They figured they’d be able to hang out, relax, and then crash at the hotel. They were wrong. As soon as Brian and Justin arrived, they were told to get ready for the bachelor party. “These white dudes are my boys from Boston,” Perk explained to his assembled friends, among them Rajon Rondo. “They run Perk is a Beast,” Perk said. “They’re from out of town. They don’t know how we do it.” Justin and Brian soon found out how it was done. “We’re [at a club] in downtown Houston, with a cavalcade of the hardest-looking dudes you’ve ever seen,” Brian said. “Right behind Perk is Justin, in a Stormtrooper T-shirt and shorts.”
One of the little treasures in this bizarrely wonderful article is this link to a hilarious interview aforementioned these white guys did with infamous white guy Brian Scalabrine.

Not a coincidence that two of the few states Dukakis won were Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
