Wow.

Say what you want about the NBA and any disdain you might have for the Celtics, but the fact that Rajon Rondo looks likely to play in Game 4 tonight against the Heat after dislocating his elbow two days ago is fairly remarkable. Let's not overlook, too, that Rondo came back into that game and basically played with one arm. The video of the incident is not for the squeamish (below). If you like your sports hard-nosed and tough, you'll be hoping Rondo can get loose tonight.
