Rajon Rondo is crafty. And as much as the Celtics like to talk about being a no-nonsense team, they do a lot of nonsense. Like, oh, say, flopping, then doing knuckle-pushups like your friend Kevin Garnett, who stole it from Zach Randolph who did it two rounds ago. 

Yup.

 

Yup, that's a flop. Yup, that's some bad form on pushups I can't even begin to do. Yup, that's an MVP chant for a guy who just flopped and did pushups. Rondo did deserve the chant, though, with 19 points and 5 assists. He and Brandon Bass are why the Celtics are only down 13 and in striking range.
