Herald Wait lifted from Celtics No slippage with Rajon Rondo FL's Take: Rondo was awesome in his playoff debut. It seems as though right from the beginning, people were questioning Rondo and he has answered every question emphatically. Celtics return playoff aura to Garden Celtics crowd pumps up volume FL's Take: Hopefully, the Celtics can get just as pumped up playing on the other teams courts.
