The Celtics traded for Rajon Rondo at the end of last year, and now his guarded hilltop mansion is listed for sale at a price of just under $2 million. In 2008, at the age of 22, Rondo—an NBA player who was named an all-star four times—purchased the property. The façade is shingle and stone, the foyer is two stories tall and features a spectacular staircase; the interior is vaulted and has limestone floors and twin dressing rooms with fireplaces; and the home has high ceilings. A home theater is located on the walk-out lower level, and there is a back terrace and expert landscaping in the yard. Conservation lands surround the property, providing an extra layer of seclusion.
The initial listing for Rondo’s house was in May of 2015, and the price was $2.45 million. This is the second price drop for the property since then, and it shows in the updated list price.
The ‘Entitlement’ Narrative is Blasted by Joe Mazzulla His Thoughts Revolve Around Celtics
If the Boston Celtics don’t perform to expectations on any particular night, head coach Joe Mazzulla isn’t too concerned.
As far as Mazzulla is concerned, it’s simply the court taking its natural course.
Ignoring the Celtics’ 60-50 halftime deficit and subsequent fourth-quarter comeback to win 118-112 over the Pelicans at TD Garden on Monday night didn’t phase him.
As the head coach of one of the league’s most talented teams, the expectation that his Celtics squad would play flawlessly every single game is something that bothers Mazzulla. The Celtics now have the best record in the NBA at 36-11 and are four games ahead of the second-place Eastern Conference club.Mazzulla told reporters, “The first half there’s like this since of entitlement like we’re just supposed to play amazing basketball every quarter and every game and that’s just not how it works.” (NBC Sports Boston). “We allowed 24 points in the second quarter,” I told the team at halftime. Score was 25–24. We came back from a first-quarter deficit of 36 points to win the quarter. We have to keep playing whether we’re down five or up eight because having this expectation that everything should always go a certain way is just harmful. The point is moot.Someone wаnted Mazzulla to sаy whether he thought the Celtics were being arrogant or if he thought Boston should cruise to victories.
On a personal level, I don’t believe it’s the team. The way things are going, it seems like everything is destined to work out for us, according to Mazzulla. Simply put, I believe it occurs. It is also not unusual to be down 10 points in the NBA.
In his remarks, Mazzulla expressed his belief that the Celtics must win today because the concept of figҺting for and earning a victory is so appealing. As far as anyone can tell, it’s the NBA. That group is solid. No matter what, we must remember that we are required to win each and every game. Tomorrow will be equally challenging. The fact that they are undefeated or have a record of 5-20 makes no difference. It is evident throughout the league.Mazzulla continued with further inflated claims of entitlement. Even in his facetiousness, his desire to alter the viewpoint of people outside the Celtics locker room was evident.
It would be great if this occurs ten or twelve more times so that we can stop acting like we’re entitled to win every time, Mazzulla added. Hopefully, we’ll have to blоw leads. All of it is something I hope comes to pass. Indeed, I do. That’s my opinion. In my opinion, there are moments when we should be winning every single time, but that is obviously not the case. We must remain steadfast. You can be playing excellent basketball and still lose sometimes. It’s just that we aren’t seeing the desired outcome. … We must press on with our game. It holds great significance.
