Celtics and The Lakers and Rondo's Redemption

I AIN'T A RAGIN' ANYMORE

Did we see  a Basketball miracle last night?  When Rajon Rondo managed to make a basket that  won the game for his Lakers against his old home team the CELTICS?

After the game, COACH  Brad amazed me by saying that the  Basketball Gods rewarded the right team,  when they gave the game to RONDO AND LEBRON,

Yes, and that pair might just be an unbeatable duo if they can stay tight and forget the regrettable spitting  tantrum of Rondo against Chris Paul--James' good friend. 

 This morning on GET UP I hear an account that Rondo initiated  two  leadership  activities recently.  He  showed the  Lakers again the tape of their Christmas Day meeting with the Warriors.  He pointed out what they did  right and what they did wrong. The day before the Celtics game  Rondo took over a gym at Emerson College and held an  unplanned  game with  all of his team.  They played many different lineups like a pick up game and they  became  cheerful and competitive.

Here's how WIKIPEDIA describes Rondo since Xmas:
On December 25 against the Golden State Warriors, after just three games back from his hand injury, Rondo suffered a sprain to his right ring finger.^[174] He underwent surgery three days later and was subsequently ruled out for an estimated four to five weeks.^[174] He returned to action on January 24, 2019, after missing 14 games, recording 15 points, 13 assists and six rebounds in a 120–105 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.^[175] On January 31, he had 14 points and 13 rebounds in a 123–120 overtime win over the Los Angeles Clippers.^[176] On February 7, he hit a 20-foot jumper as time expired in Boston to lift the Lakers to a 129–128 win over the Celtics, as he finished with 17 points and 10 assists. It was his first career go-ahead field goal in the final 10 seconds of the fourth quarter or overtime.<sup>[177]


I want to emphasize that last sentence:</sup> It was his first career go-ahead field goal in the final 10 seconds of the fourth quarter or overtime.

After the game Rondo said that he had a 
dream that he ended a game  with such a field goal.

Well last night the dream came true.  AND watching
 that dream unfold  were spectators like Bill Bellichek,
 Sony Michel and other  Patriot players in the stands.

You know Rondo even looked different last night--
younger, lighter on his feet and even more  handsome
without the  usual scowl.

Maybe the bright Lakers uniform is his 
color--he looked good in it last night.
