BOSTON - Point guard Rajon Rondo started the Boston Celtics opener against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night — less than five weeks after breaking a bone in his left hand. New Balance 998 España .Wearing a black brace that covered his left wrist and part of his hand, Rondo gave the traditional captains welcome to the fans and took the floor for the opening tipoff. On Bostons first possession, he brought the ball down the court, dribbling with both hands, before driving into the lane and throwing a pass that went through Avery Bradleys hands.Asked before the game how much he would be able to use his left hand, Rondo said, Youll have to ask me that question after the game.Rondo said before the game that he made the decision about an hour before the tipoff. The crowd gave a big cheer when the news was announced during a pregame show broadcast on the TD Garden scoreboard.Minutes earlier, coach Brad Stevens told reporters his All-Star point guard was ready to return from the broken hand that cost him most of training camp.Hes as up to speed as he can be, Stevens said. I think hes ready to roll.After missing the first half of last season recovering from reconstructive knee surgery, Rondo seemed healthy heading into camp this fall before breaking a bone in his hand when he slipped in the shower. He was expected to miss six to eight weeks, but in updates this week he hinted that he might be able to come back early.Rondo had an X-ray on Monday, and before practice Tuesday he said he would see how he feels after his pregame nap.Apparently, he slept well.Hes obviously anxious to play, Stevens said.Stevens said he Rondo would not have any restrictions on how many minutes he plays.I might play him in shorter stints, the coach said. It will be how he plays after that. It really is his first preseason game. New Balance Mujer Baratas . According to Dave Stubbs of The Montreal Gazette, preliminary talks have begun between Markov - an unrestricted free agent this summer - and general manager Marc Bergevin.

Chris Paul added 13 points and 11 assists for the Clippers, who apparently are trying to make up for decades of humiliation at the hands of the Lakers all in one season; theyve won the last two meetings by a combined 84 points. http://www.nbalancezapatillas.es/new-balance-574-hombre-espana.html . Jimmy Howard made 44 saves and Henrik Zetterberg scored two goals, leading the Detroit Red Wings to a 5-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Saturday night.Tony Dungy was an up-and-coming NFL assistant in his early 30s when he met with the Green Bay Packers about their opening for a head coach in 1988.When I finished the interview, Dungy said, I asked them, What are you looking for? And they said, Well, were really looking for a person that has head-coaching experience and an offensive-minded person. I was a defensive coach who had never been head coach.So he didnt get that job, and wound up waiting eight years for his first shot at being a head coach. Still, Dungy is convinced that the unsuccessful sit-down with the Packers ultimately helped send him on the path toward becoming the first black coach to win the Super Bowl — and so he thinks the Rooney Rule, which wasnt around in his day, serves an important purpose, even if he also thinks teams sometimes violate its spirit.That (Packers) general manager said, Hey, he wasnt what we were looking for, but he was really a sharp guy ... and if youre looking for a defensive coach, you ought to talk to this guy. Word spreads, Dungy explained. When people hear that — Hey, Tony Dungy was interviewed by the Green Bay Packers, and did well — that does something. Puts you in a different category.For a dozen years, the Rooney Rule has required NFL teams to interview at least one minority candidate for any vacant coaching or GM post. The man for whom it was named, Steelers co-owner Dan Rooney, is open to seeing whether it could be improved.When it was first implemented in 2003, the Rooney Rule set parameters to provide opportunities for minority coaches and front office personnel a chance to interview for high-level positions throughout the league, Rooney said in a statement issued by the Steelers. It has been successful, but also I believe we should look into the rule in order to continue to help advance the opportunities of minorities to succeed at the highest levels in the NFL.An AP tally of this off-seasons coaching searches — as of Sunday night, six of seven openings were filled, with the Atlanta Falcons still looking — shows that of 27 men known to have been interviewed for thosse jobs, seven were minorities.

The others are Pittsburghs Mike Tomlin, Cincinnatis Marvin Lewis, Tampa Bays Lovie Smith, and Detroits Jim Caldwell.John Wooten, chairman of the Fritz Pollard Alliance Foundation, which gives the league a list of suggested minority candidates, said: Were there other guys I wish had gotten interviews? Yes. But overall, Im very satisfied with the numbers that were there.Dungy and Wooten are wary of those occasions when teams meet with a minority candidate simply to conform to the rule — but with no intention of seriously considering hiring him.We have to be alert to the courtesy or the sham interview. We have to be alert to it. We have to know it when we see it, Wooten said.Dungy said its clear that sometimes clubs know who they want to hire before they even begin the search process.I dont think (the Rooney Rule is) always being followed the right way and in the spirit of it, Dungy said. When its, OK, the first day I have an opening, Im going to hurry up and interview a minority so I can go ahead and hire the person I really wanted to hire, and that I had my mind made up to hire maybe even before I had my opening, thats when people look at it and say, Gee, whats going on here?Still, he is not so sure there is any way around it.You cant really legislate that. You cant tell people how to do the search, said Dungy, who like Wooten does not believe the rule should be expanded to include co-ordinator jobs. I think this rule was put in place to just get people to try to broaden their outlook a little bit. And if it does that, then its successful. You can get around any kind of rule. You can circumvent it. And that has been done. But I think, overall, the rule has probably helped people.___Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
