Today's Video: Halloween Visit, Practice Report, Celtics Minute, Rondo Highlights

 First up today is a video from the Celtics in the spirit of today's holiday.  Kelly Olynyk and Evan Turner visited the Children's Hospital dressed in costume for Halloween.   Kelly was dressed as Super Mario and it looked great on him.  And if you recall Evan Turner talking about his nickname being Turtle,  you know that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume he wore was also fitting.   You wonder where they had to go to get costumes to fit guys that tall. 

Next up is the practice report where the Celtics not only discussed the good of their blowout win over the Nets but also the areas they can improve on going into a tough matchup with the Houston Rockets. They let up some in the second half, allowing the Nets to make up some ground on the Celtics big lead and they need to be sure to play both halves with the same aggressiveness. Dwight Howard, in particular, is going to present some challenges. This is where a player like Perk is great to have. He is one of the few centers in the league who can defend Howard one on one and slow him down.

Next is the Celtics Minute. Rajon Rondo not only came back on opening night, he came back from the hot tub time machine and was the Rondo that Brad Stevens saw on tapes from before the knee injury. And, Marcus Smart matched his intensity. Smart has a unique ability to raise the energy level of the team when he's on the court. Nice player to have.

Finally, in case you have forgotten how good Rondo was in his first game back (at only 91%, I might add), we have highlights from OfficialCelticsHD. Some of his assists are just mind boggling. You have to watch a couple of times just to see how in the world he got the ball from his hands to his teammates. His shot is looking pretty good also. I loved his little grin after that bank 3. I hope you enjoy today's videos. Good stuff all the way around these days.
