*The NBA released its 2014 All-Star ballot yesterday. The list includes 120 players from both the Western and Eastern Conferences. I know what you're wondering: which Celtics are on the ballot? They would include Jeff Green, Gerald Wallace, and Rajon Rondo.
This year's All-Star game is February 16 in New Orleans. Fans can vote online at http://allstarballot.nba.com/
Fans can also vote by texting a player's last name to 69622. They can use Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook by including a player's first and last name in their post and the hashtag #NBABallot.
Voting ends January 20.
* In his weekly appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub, Celtics GM Danny Ainge gave another update on Rondo. Ainge said Rondo is making "great progress" and hinted that a return in the middle of December is realistic.
"I don't see anything happening this month," Ainge said. "I think that when we get into the middle of December, it could be a week-by-week situation for him. He's getting closer, but he still hasn't gained 100 percent of his strength back in that leg. And we certainly don't want to take any risks."
* This will be the first time since 2007 that the Celtics will not be playing on Christmas Day. However, that doesn't mean they don't have their own Christmas Day jersey. The NBA formally unveiled their "Big Logo" Christmas Day jerseys Thursday and the sleeved jerseys feature oversized team logos on the front with player numbers on the sleeve and back. All 30 teams have jerseys.
