Rondo looks good

Rajon Rondo , who is still not 100 percent because of ankle woes, took to the floor this evening to warm up without any tape on his ankles. He'll most likely tape for the game, but that has to be a good sign for how he's feeling tonight.

As for Kendrick Perkins, we're still not sure. No sign of the big man yet. This is not unusual, but it prevents us from the instant satisfaction our society craves.

Brian Scalabrine is out warming up in game shorts. Whether that's posturing by the Celtics, a sign of Perkins' health, or a completely meaningless detail, is not clear.
