BOSTON -- Bulls point guard Rajon Rondo understands why he was getting booed by Celtics fans throughout Chicago's Game 1 victory at TD Garden on Sunday night.
After spending the first nine seasons of his career playing in Boston, Rondo appreciates the passion that the local fans have. He knows a lot of the booing stems from love.
"These fans are great," Rondo said before Tuesday's shootaround. "I wouldn't expect anything else. A couple nice words were said when I walked out of the tunnel, but that's Boston. They've been doing that for me for nine years while I was here so I don't expect it [another way].
