Can someone explain the Garden boos for Rajon Rondo yesterday?

For years villains have been given the business at the Garden. When Ralph Sampson got into a fight with Jerry Sitting back in the 1986 Finals he was serenaded with boos every time he touched the ball in Game 6 when the series shifted back to Boston. In recent years, Dwyane Wade received the treatment after his cheap shot foul that knocked Rajon Rondo out of the 2011 playoffs, LeBron James has received it on several occasions, and Ray Allen heard it loudly when he defected to the Heat after the Celtics lost to the Heat in the 2012 Eastern Conference Semifinals.
