Celtic Airways

The Boston Celtics' private jet has reportedly encountered difficulties and they have been severely delayed in their flight back to Boston to gear up for Game 6.

Rajon Rondo knew it was going to be a long flight, as he said on his blog, but I don't think he was predicting this.

Given the adversities the Celtics are already having to overcome with injuries (Perkins, Rondo and Pierce) and the Ray Allen's family problems (reportedly a medical issue for his daughter), the C's will have to dig deep to win this next one. But as the cliché goes, sometimes these things bring the group together as a team.

And doesn't Kevin Garnett just love fighting an uphill battle?
