Celtics got jokes?! This is pretty funny and hopefully it won’t start any real fights (again). The Celtics locker room is taking a vote on who would win IF Kris Humphries and Rajon Rondo got into a fight. Lol, really?! Sorry Hump, I gotta go with Rondo.
Check out the story after the jump & let us know what you think…

This is a good-natured preseason joke, we think. We hope. I mean, it’s not as if Rajon Rondo and Kris Humphries are fast friends some 11 months removed from their shoving match. The new Boston power forward wasn’t traded to Rajon’s Celtics until July, and he probably won’t play a game with the recovering Rondo until December. Still, on the flip side of that, there hasn’t been enough time to develop any additional enmity from last season’s fight with Rondo not taking part in full Boston practices as he works his way back from an ACL tear.
That hasn’t stopped the pair’s teammates from egging them on. We’re a few days behind on this, but apparently the Celtics have put up a board in the locker room that allows teammates to vote on who they think would win the inevitable second round tussle between the two. From Jay King at MassLive.com:
“(Keith) Bogans is always joking about it. I think in the locker room, there’s a thing that says Rondo and Hump,” Humphries told Celtics.com this week, motioning like the names are side-by-side, “and I think we’re tied with who would win in a fight on the vote.”
Maybe he miscounted, though. Asked about the voting board on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Toucher and Rich, Rondo laughed and said, “I think I’m up.”
