I'm back

I was out with a lower back and hamstring injury for the past few games. I came back Monday when we played NY. I felt pretty good that game. My back and my hamstring were good. I was a little sore after though. If you don't remember, I pulled my hamstring when we were on the West Coast against Utah. I played on it for a while, then it started to get aggravated. Then when we played New Jersey, I fell and messed my back up. I didn't want to sit out at all, but it ended up being the best thing because my body got a chance to heal.

Earlier today I had practice...that went good. After practice, I had two interviews. One of them was for ABC and the other was for the NY Times. I think I did well in both of them. I haven't really been doing much. I have a lot of off the court things coming up...a few appearances. Thursday, I have an appearance to do for Reebok. I think E.House and Gabe Pruitt are going to be there also.

I just got finished watching the Kentucky vs Tennessee game. I'm glad my boys pulled that W off. I always watch the KY games when I can. Right now, I'm just chillin...about to go to sleep in a minute. I have to stay rested. Game day tomorrow. We play Toronto...so I'm going to watch a little film and be out. I'll holla!

I'm glad to hear you're back healthy. The CATS finally pulled out a tough win. Ramel played some great D against Lofton in the second half. Thats great that you are still watching them. Good luck this week.

Glad to see you still support the Wildcats... we sure miss you in Lexington. It's great to see how much success you've had in the NBA so far--you earned it. I'm just glad we got to enjoy seeing you in blue for two years on your way.

I'm glad you're back and feeling better. You are by far my favorite C, so I'm happy to see your back. Good luck and stay healthy, Rajon. :)

1) chris lofton couldn't save tennessee. hee!
2) glad you're better but take it slow if you have to. i'm bummed not seeing you in games, sure, but it'll be even worse if you're not in the big ones.
3) NICE STEAL on monday! way to score on that one.

Rondo keep it real, and compare the two extremes of your first two NBA seasons, stuff like the differances in the lockerroom, media coverage, opponents respect, home games, pressure, the officiating, and expectations. It has to be sureal and I'd just like to get the prospective of a 23 year old, 2nd year player that has seen and been through one of the great stories in the NBA.
Also, have you ever thought about participating in the skills compatition All-Star weekend? I think you would do really well. OK den be coo RR, keep up the great work.

Johnny, whats up boy it;s Max from Eastern, I know your watched your boys pull it off last night against Lofton and the gang. That wouldn't have happened just like it didint., when we played him in a couple LIT tourneys. I saw Bentley the other day at the mall he is doing good, im sure you have talked to him, he's hooping at K State, but anyway get at me sometime, or next time you get in the ville....email me at yahoo...Maxdoughty23@yahoo.com holla at ya TUN!!!

Absolutely delighted to have you back. Please disregard the comments from lakerdman. The losses we had to Washington were largely due to the team missing YOUR game. Albeit others filled in, yet there is no substitution for staring the offense 68 seconds later than when you are in the game. Again, Welcome back!

Like to see you you get a chance to see your classmates Crawford and Bradley play before they graduate. Rupp would erupt if you came back to see a game and form the Y for the cheerleaders. Hope you get a break in your schedule to make it happen! Go Celts and go Wildcats!

Read about Doc taking you to the post-game interview to answer his questions for him after you guys had interview classes. You did a sick job, Rajon. And the Celtics Nation is dying to know what Scal is like off the court and who the funniest Celtic is?

Rajon, the important thing is your feeling better. You only have one body, you might as well take good care of it. if you don't put yourself first, no one else will.

Celtics are on their way!!!!!!!!

Good to see you back, Rondo! Good luck against MN tonight, I'd love to see the Celts make the playoffs.
On that note, I just saw you guys signed up to help people get more tickets (http://www.boston.com/business/articles/2008/01/25/celtics_sell_rights_to_buy_tickets_to_playoffs/)! That's EXCELLENT! I'm putting in my bid now, be sure to keep hitting it hard so I can score some of these ticket reserves the article is talking about. Celts? Playoffs? Cheap tickets? Doesn't get any better than that.

We miss you in Lexington Rajon. Thanks for pluggin' the C A T S on here. We'd be final four bound if you and Morris were still with us. I think you'd like Coach too. Glad to see your doing well in the NBA and hope your career there only gets better and better.
Biggest UK fan ever

Dude, you looked really great today. It sucks though that you get hit so hard all the time. On the picks, where you've gotten smashed by a bigger guy like today with Dwight Howard, what was supposed to happen so that is avoided?

You sure are back baby! Great game last night against the Heat. Too bad they couldn't provide a little competition but needless to say you were awesome. I loved the little fade away shot in the key, second half, and 1. I kept hoping Doc would put you back in so you could make another drive to the hole and top your career high. Maybe on Thursday!!!!
