    Rondo suffers ankle sprain

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>LOS ANGELES - Rajon Rondo suffered a left ankle sprain in the third quarter of the Celtics' 87-81 loss to the Lakers last night. Rondo, injured while driving to the basket with 11:15 left in the third, thought he turned the ankle stepping on someone's foot or landing on it the wrong way. He is awaiting X-ray results.

    "It's sore," said Rondo, who returned to the game in the fourth quarter and finished with 8 points and 4 assists. "I'll get a lot of treatment.

    "It was a little tender. I could run a little bit, but I wasn't sure that I could cut on it, so I didn't make any hard cuts.

    "I'll get a lot of treatment done and keep on resting and staying off my feet. We have a great trainer, so I'm sure I'll probably be ready [for Game 4]."

    House call
    Eddie House was not expected to play much last night. But after Rondo was injured early in the third quarter, House helped spark a rally that appeared to put them in control.

    His 3-pointer cut the Celtics' deficit to 49-47 with 6:44 remaining in the third during an 18-7 run.

    "I expect to go in every game," he said. "My mentality is if I get called, I have to be ready. If you think like that, you'll be prepared if your number does get called. You have to expect the unexpected. That's my mentality - you have to be professional and try to produce."

    Though House played 19:48 - about 19 minutes more than might have been expected - few could have predicted his 6 points would match Paul Pierce's total.

    "We don't look at it like our big guys didn't have their normal game," House said. "Other guys stepped up."

    But the Celtics failed to convert when it counted late in the final quarter. House was no exception.</div>

    I always find it funny when your number 1 guy goes down and the coach calls up the number 3 guy to replace him.

    I just hope Rondo's ok, I'd sit him out the next two games as he does nothing when on the road.

    Wow, why does it seem like everyone's getting beat up now?

    Peirce, Perkins, now Rondo...who's next?

    That wouldn't have happened if Jackson wasn't constantly complaining about the refs. [​IMG] j/king.

    I smell conspiracy! The refs are paying assorted Celtics players to injure their own teammates! And themselves! [​IMG]
