Wow.

[Shade8780]

Rondo is a motherfvcking boss! :bowdown: :bowdown: :applause: :applause: Fvck you Doc!!

[Electric Slide]

rondo has kicked out allen and now rivers.

:applause:

[Rasheed1]

Even though I have always suspected that something is going on with Rondo, I really need more info than that to understand what happened and what it says about Rondo and the Celts

[Kevin_Garnett_5]

:lol Knew this Doc Rivers story would be spun around to somehow place the blame on Rondo. They definitely didn't disappoint with this one.

[ballup]

Something like this would have surfaced much earlier, not at the end of the season. This is probably an exaggerated retelling of an incident.

[Done_And_Done]

When it rains it pours Doc...

[Shade8780]

Haters can go suck a big fat c0ck. Rondo is a BOSS. Someone needs to make a deal with it gif for Rondo.

[ProfessorMurder]

If this is true: Doc loses his shit, yet Rondo is the immature/uncoachable one?

How much more of the bashing will Rondo take before he asks for a trade?

[Rasheed1]

Rondo has a couple of issues... This isnt the first time.. There was some issue between Rondo and Ray Allen that was cited as one of the reasons, Ray left the team..


Not saying he's the bad guy here, but when his name keeps popping up? he can't always be the innocent victim of everyone else

[andremiller07]

If Rondo won the fight or lost it, it wouldn't have matter cause he would still be talking to a Doc regardless.

:facepalm

[livinglegend]

Thank you Rondo. Imagine if Ray Allen hadnt been with Heat to hit that legendary 3 points shot. :eek: :eek:

Again! Thanks RONDO!

Then Battier or Miller would've hit it.

[imdaman99]

so when does doc leave to be an assistant for the heat :facepalm

[livinglegend]

Then Battier or Miller would've hit it.

Miller and Battier cant hit those kind of shots. They are only spot up shooters.

Thanks RONDO!

That's how I see it. One incident is an anomaly, two is a pattern. We'll never know exactly what the disputes between Rondo and Ray/Doc were but the common denominator here is Rondo fighting with teammates.

Thanks RONDO once again.

He allegedly had a beef with ONE teammate, not teammates.

Rondo spent Christmas with Ray and his family like three seasons ago, and you never heard about this strained relationship until Ray was benched for Bradley in 2012. If their relationship was that bad, why would Ray have stayed there for 5 years? Even signing another contract there.

They were never super tight like PP and KG or Rondo and KG, but they were fine.

Ray couldn't handle coming of the bench.

[STATUTORY]

i would take rondo on my lakers anyway love that kid's fire and competitive spirit

Came off the bench for the Heat :confusedshrug:

[sc19]

Rondo big ego for no reason.

[Shade8780]

Thanks RONDO!
Then they would've signed Jason Terry at the start of the year instead of Ray and he would've hit it.

Thanks RONDO!

Terry:oldlol: You missed the whole Celtics season or what? or you re just butthurt.

No one other than Allen could hit that shot.
Thanks RONDO!

[Harison]

Rondo is a cancer. He also was one of the main reasons why Ray left.

[Djahjaga]

Did you skip primary school? Two "incidents" make a line, three indicate a pattern.

In any case, the whole Rondo/Allen beef thing was spiced up by the media and by Ray himself. Ray left because Miami was in a better position to get him another ring, plain and simple. It had nothing to do with money or with Rondo or with his role or any of that bullsh*t. And, as a Celtic fan, I'm fine with that, except he didn't admit it and instead spent weeks talking sh*t.

This is why you shouldn't talk about a team unless you're enough of a fan of that team to do the due diligence to inspect your claims. This is straight bullsh*t.

Read the accounts of Rondo's teammates now, such as KG (who doesn't pander to the media like Ray) or Dooling. Read Jackie MacMullen's piece on Rondo (http://espn.go.com/boston/nba/story/_/id/8510892/rajon-rondo-steps-shadows-boston-celtics-leader) where she gets varied opinions and tells stories that most media outlets ignore.

People see the incident with the ref and the one with Humphries and they assume that's all Rondo does behind closed doors. Instead, he's one of the most dedicated, team-first guys in the league. Talk sh*t all you want about his assist-padding or his game, but don't talk about what you don't know.

tl;dr Rondo IS NOT a cancer. Don't pretend to know about a player if you don't follow up on him often.

[ProfessorMurder]

Came off the bench for the Heat :confusedshrug:

Behind Wade not Bradley. Which do you think would hurt his ego less?

+Ring Chasing factor

[Killbot]

Then they would've signed Jason Terry at the start of the year instead of Ray and he would've hit it.

Thanks RONDO!

That's not Terry's shot.

[SpurrDurr]

What a troublemaker :lol

[fefe]

Doc should have told Ainge that it's either him or Rondo for Boston, and he would be free to sign with the Clippers now :D

[JohnnySic]

Wow, didn't know this...

We get it dude. You REALLY love Rajon Rondo. :oldlol:

[Djahjaga]

We get it dude. You REALLY love Rajon Rondo. :oldlol:

Haha basically :cheers:

I really do think he gets a lot of bad press because he's quiet and moody. He's not such a bad dude, and definitely not a cancer. High maintenance, sure. A diva sometimes, even. But not a cancer.

[Shade8780]

Terry:oldlol: You missed the whole Celtics season or what? or you re just butthurt.

Thanks RONDO!
You clearly didn't see the Celtics in the Playoffs. Terry played great.

Thanks RONDO!

[Shade8780]

That's not Terry's shot.
Well then the Heat would've brought Reggie in from the past and signed him for the MLE.

Thanks RONDO!

[CelticBaller]

Get rid off rondo, get rid off rivers

[Sharmer]

Of course Rondo is a jerk, when a class guy like Ray Allen is forced out, that says alot.

This was a hacked tweet.

If that makes you sleep at night

[Bandito]

Then Battier or Miller would've hit it.
I doubt Battier would've hit it he's loyal to his wife.:no:

[NumberSix]

Rondo is a cancer.

[tmacattack33]

Nice :applause:

Hopefully Rondo can make another member of the Celtics so mad that he joins Miami :oldlol: . Sullinger's a good rebounder, maybe him.

[Goldrush25]

Does this surprise anyone? Rondo's a petulant jerk. Fights teammates, coaches, bumps refs. He demonstrates no respect for anyone.

Can you read? Doc tried to fight Rondo.

[irondarts]

I think it's pretty pathetic that a Head Coach would try to fight a player for saying the F-word at him. That's just stupid, Doc.

[Haks]

LOL Rondo is a true nikka

[bdreason]

So it sounds like Boston is actually trying to dump Doc and his 3 year deal. Hilarious that they actually tried to get draft picks for him (even though that's illegal).

[FPJ]

Its amazing how people let such things slide from that overrated shitstain. Funny thing is that little bitch throws pms tantrum fits only in situations where he knows no one's gonna **** his head up.

Rondo's a nobody, no team will win with this bitch as a nr 1 or nr 2 option. He should team up with D' Ho.

[BuGzBuNNy]

I think it's pretty pathetic that a Head Coach would try to fight a player for saying the F-word at him. That's just stupid, Doc.
Its not like you understand the context so you can't really judge Doc for it....Its also going a bit far to say that Doc was trying to fight him. More than likely he would have just got in his face and confronted him about it.

[tomtucker]

don

[All Net]

Does rondo get on with anybody?

[2swift4u]

We've all known before that something's wrong with Rondo. This guy is nuts...

[Diegio]

Does rondo get on with anybody?

Maybe Kevin Garnett & Josh Smith?

[ILLsmak]

I really like Rondo and his personality. This doesn't bother me. I like Doc, too, but I don't think you should always back down to your coach, especially if he's leaving or wavering on his loyalty.

Also let's be honest, more than likely Rondo would have beat his shit and he knew that.

-Smak

[Rondo]

Doc's looking for any reason to get out of a "rebuilding phase". Makes sense to then blame it on the guy who gets all the shit (Rondo).

People need to read up on Allen's quotes about his rift with Rondo and how it started.

You Heat 'fans' would take him on your team in a heartbeat!

[FPJ]

:biggums:

WTF would the Heat do with Rondo, take the ball of Lebron? Shoot 3's? Jumpshots?

Your team already has terrible synergy, might as well take all the great talent as possible.

[Rondo]

You're right, it's not like you guys ever do that.

[FPJ]

You're right, it's not like you guys ever do that.

Rondo shoots 3's? :confusedshrug:

How can Rondo help the Heat when Lebron has the ball most of the time?
