I had to do some other work, so I only caught the tail end of the game. So I’ll just let the tweets speak for themselves.
Um, whoa. The Celtics and Lakers have reportedly discussed a Dwight Howard-for-Rajon Rondo deal. But it doesn’t seem like any trade will actually happen. Read the latest here.

Clearly, that was how the winning streak was meant to end, at the hands of the Charlotte Bobcats, with Byron Mullens feigning dominance, after a final-minute four-point lead disappeared and Ramon Sessions hit a game-winning jumper and Paul Pierce — who clearly, in all his OG-ness, would have drilled that 3-pointer Sunday night — came up short while Avery Bradley missed Boston’s second chance at overtime. Really, after needing 63 minutes to top Denver, thank God (or at least Red Auerbach) for no overtime in this one.
The last thing the Celtics needed: even more mileage on their overworked legs, though the All-Star break is coming shortly to save them from their own obsession with fifth (and sometimes sixth or seventh) periods.
This was obviously how the seven-game run was supposed to fall, with the Celtics crashing down from a huge victory Sunday to succumb to the underwhelming Bobcats, who have now won four times in their last 39 outings.
Lastly and mostly, the following is far more important than any loss to Charlotte:
Rajon Rondo’s out for the season with a torn ACL, and Celtics nation is left to ponder what in the world the team will do moving forward.
Blow it up? Sign a point guard off the garbage heap? Trade for Kyle Lowry? Blackmail the basketball gods with nudy pics and force them to make Jeff Green repeat his Sunday performance on a daily basis?
I spoke with co-host Ty Ray for an hour and a half to discuss the state of the Celtics.
What will they, and should they, do next?
