Video: Down, Set, Hut Hut

We really don't know what made this happen but there is so much symmetery that can be attained by this.

The Celtics won the opening tip and well, just watch what the two All-Star snubs did...



"What are they doing, What was that" you may be asking yourself. Well it was Kevin Garnett snapping it to Rajon Rondo and Rondo inturn snaping it to himself and just like that the game had started. What do we make of this was this a way of honoring the Patriots or something. Well who knows but after you watch it 2 or 3 times if does feel like "aight let's get this thing started".

Too bad they didn't get that "pass interference" call (Kobe's obvious double dribble) in the overtime loss that was sealed by Pau Gasol blocking a last second field goal attempt.

NBA History: Playoff History Night in and Night out

We love the playoffs, you love the playoffs and even grandpa who rocks in his rocking chair even wakes up from an all day nap to catch some of the playoff action. We'll now grandpa is telling you "you were a lil kid the last time someone did that". Grandpa however is witnessing the records he saw set broke and they are coming in mass.



Take Rajon Rondo on April 22nd 2011... He stole the show in New York for the first playoff game in what 7 years at The Garden. Rondo pulled out another triple double but this wasn't just any ole triple double, it was a triple double with 20 assist, yes 20 assist. At one point during the season Rondo said it was his goal to average 20 assist in a season. Well he didn't do that but he did step into elite company in the postseason. Magic Johnson was the last player to tally a triple double in the playoffs with 20 or more assist when he did it in Game 5 of the 1991 NBA Finals (The game Michael Jordan won his first championship...to add convey deeper meaning) in what would be his final game before entering into his first retirement in October of that year.

Well here's another one. On April 23rd 2011 The Dallas Mavericks were leading by as many as 23 points in the second half of Game 4 against Portland and by as many as 18 going into the fourth quarter when Brandon Roy woke up and woke up in a big way. Roy finished the fourth quarter with 18 points on 8 of 10 shooting (24 for the game) and lead the Rip City Blazers to the largest playoff comeback since Paul Pierce brought his Celtics back from 21 points in 2002 against the New Jersey Nets.



Caught ya breath yet? Moving on Chris Paul on April 24th 2011, yes CP3 is doing it all. With his triple double of 27 points 15 assist and 13 rebounds in a Game 4 win over the Los Angeles Lakers he joined Oscar Robertson as the only two players to tally a triple double in the playoffs with at least 25 points, 15 assist and 10 rebounds in NBA history . "Mr. Triple Double" himself, Oscar Robertson still has the upper hand on Paul as he has pulled off the feat twice. Once in 1962 and then again in 1964. Still whenever your mentioned with Oscar Robertson your in pretty good company.



Now go and catch your breath. The Playoffs are just in the first round so more records may be broken or set. Amazing!

Rondo Steals for Boston Playground Hoops

Most us know that Rajon Rondo drops serious dimes on the hardwood to the tune of a league leading 12.5 per game.


If you take a closer look at Rondo's box you'll see he's known for his defense also averaging 2.46 steals a game. It's the steals stat that the people of Boston pay attention to. Rondo is teamed up with Red Bull for the Boston's Got Wings program.

Red Bull and Rondo donate $500 for every steal throughout the season to fixing up community playground basketball courts. The best part of this program is that every 30th steal the community votes on which basketball court will fixed up. If you been to Boston and hooped on the playgrounds you know they need a little fixing up. We love this program because the focus in on defense and if you've ever been on the playground when an exciting steal is made it's just about as good as a breakaway dunk, especially if the steal leads to the breakaway dunk.

The voting has commenced for round four once Rondo reaches 120 steals on the season. You can vote here or just see which courts were chosen in the first three rounds.



You can feel the sincerity of Rondo in this video. Love it Rondo keep stealing for the city courts.
