Globe Player profile: Rajon Rondo
Celtics starting to get comfortable
FL's Take: The Celtics' starters look so good together that it should be scary for opponents. They just function like a well oiled machine. Ray Allen's problems of last year are gone, Paul Pierce looks to be in even better shape if that is possible. KG is already in mid season form. Perk and Rondo are better than last year and more confident. Very exciting stuff for Celtics fans.

Hey Eddie, this is probably a sign
FL's Take: Even though Isiah is no longer the coach or the GM, his decisions will continue to haunt the team for years to come and Eddie Curry and his bloated contract to match his bloated physique is one of them.
Lex Nihil Novi I thought you had him?
FL's Take: I love it! Leon is looking good in the preseason and should be a big part of the rotation this season. Phil Jackson is a jerk for mispronouncing Leon's last name and acting like he was a scrub in his post game press conference. But, Leon will get respect soon enough as his play continues to make opposing coaches take notice.

FL's Take: Good to hear that Delonte is back and all is well. I really like Delonte and wish the Celtics could have somehow brought him back, but it seems as though he is in a good place where he is at and I wish him the best.

FL's Take: It certainly is good to have Perk back. He may be a little rusty and still trying to get his conditioning back, but he is so important to this team. It doesn't always show up in the box score but what Perk does for this team is invaluable. Once again, look back at game 5 of the Finals to see what the Celtics miss when Perk isn't there.
