Rondo's mug is plastered all over the Celtics' home page ...


Is that a sign? Has Danny lost out on his man (i.e. the point guard with the suspect knee versus the point guard with the suspect elbow)?

Chris Forsberg, for one, hopes not (espn.go.com) ...
For those on the fence, here's one thing to ask yourselves: What's it going to take for the Celtics to win this year if they maintain the current core? Remember that the Celtics have limited assets ($3 million mini mid-level exception) to add talent beyond minimum contracts.

Are you confident that this core, as currently comprised, can withstand the rigors of a condensed 66-game season? Will these players be healthy in May and June? Do you believe this squad can win enough regular-season games to put itself in prime postseason position? After what we saw in the playoffs last year, is this team capable of competing with Miami with minor changes to its roster?

Ignore the noise, Danny. Go get your guy. You've never been afraid to roll the dice, and you shouldn't be now.
