Celtics Title Town

This is a post that I do during the season after games. For the next week or so. I will cover the Atlantic division, and how the Celtics match up against their Atlantic foes.Today I will cover the Wizards by the numbers.

In the first matchup against the Wizards, Rondo put up a triple-double. His stat line, 18 Pts, 11 Rebs, 14 Ast's,

"I just knew he played great. He was sensational all night. He had one of those nights -- he had this last year in stretches -- where he just called a good game, you know, like he's a great catcher," Rivers said.

"He called a terrific game tonight."

Rondo will only get better. Each season he finds something to expose others. This coming season will be sensational. Here are the numbers from the season series between the Wizards, and Celtics.
