Believing In The Celtics

 
The Celtics pulling off their latest miracle win

Rajon who...?

That's what a lot of Celtics fans, including myself have been thinking or saying since Rajon Rondo went down vs the Heat on January 27.  When he went down with that ACL injury, everyone thought the Celtics chances of winning this year were over because even with him, they were still losing.  But somehow, like always under Doc Rivers, they find a way to win.  Whether it's with Kevin Garnett's defense, Paul Pierce's facilitated role, or Avery Bradley and Jeff Green stepping up, they always find a way to stay strong during rough times.  Even when Jared Sullinger and Leandro Barbosa went down, they didn't panic.  They just got Terrence Williams and Jordan Crawford.  I know, not the sexiest names in the world, but they're both two young, athletic guys, which is something the Celtics have been lacking for awhile.  Now, I'm not saying they're going to beat the Heat or Thunder and win the NBA title, but their chances look much better now than before.  And in a series against them, anything can happen.  I didn't think they were better without Rondo before (I even vouched they keep him), but now through inspired team play and wins, I believe they are.
