29233380 seconds is approximately 338 days... 338 days from his surgery is Friday vs LA.

Prepare yourself, Lakers.

[RightToCensor]

TurnoverBe is gonna get a front row seat in the art of passing.

[Spaulding]

:applause:

Rondo bout to remind the league why hes top 5 PG today.

[ImKobe]

Perfect, return against the team with the worst PG defense. He'll look like a god.

[ballup]

:applause:

[Rolando]

:applause: It will be nice to have him back. Take it easy though Rondo.

[JohnFreeman]

Clap him in boys :applause:

Big respect for Rondo

[Fire Colangelo]

Love Rondo :applause: gonna tear lakers apart (who's their PG right now?)

Perfect :rockon:

[CelticBaller]

Great, now either we win with him and get bounced in the playoffs, or people will criticize him for his team being horrible

Take your time Rondo

[Basketbolero]

Great, they need to him to make a strong playoff push :D

It's interesting what the Celtics will do with Rondo, either bring him back slowly and play him like ~20 mins a game while trying to tank, and start the next season fresh. Or play him lots to get his trade value up and trade him for assets/young pieces to rebuild for the future. Or maybe push for the playoffs?

[Myth]

Awesome. Hopefully picking him up for my fantasy team pays off.

[salwan]

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
finally! the season begins on Friday! :rockon:

seriously though, I would not play him more than 20mins for his first 10 games or so.. and not play him at all in back-to-backs. there's no need to rush things, especially since we are currently in a top 5 draft pick position.

[ArbitraryWater]

[dbugz]

[JUDGE WITNESS]

rondo needs to get the hell out of boston

[imnew09]

Some scrub

I disagree man. Kendall has a record with most assists in the first two games as a Lakers :bowdown:

[Eye Test]

dude clearly knows how to pick his fights :applause:

[CelticBaller]

He plays for the best franchise in the league :confusedshrug:

[Mr.Kite]

Who wouldn't want to return against the lakers. Its an exhibition game.

[JUDGE WITNESS]

He plays for the best franchise in the league :confusedshrug:
he plays for a lottery team

that will probably stay in the lottery for years to come

great 1st post

[MMM]

Celtics tank was looking solid with the 4th worst record. However, I'd gonna be good to see Rondo out there sooner rather than later so he can round back into form. I trust Danny no matter what position they finish in due to stockpiling the most assets.

There is no guarantee they are a lotto team this season with him back. Also I think you are underestimating the amount of assets that they have available. Danny is in a better position to acquire stars going forward than he did in 2007.

not under danny ainge, we've been pretty competitive in this millennium :no:

what are your thoughts on their potential moves?

[ProfessorMurder]

what are your thoughts on their potential moves?

They have an assload of picks, some young talent they can move, expirings, and will have capspace... Plus you've got Rondo coming back and solid role players.

Bass could help a contender.
Green could help a contender.
Hump/Bayless/Crawford/Bradley expire.
Brooks could draw interest.
Sully is a beast on a rookie deal.
They have big trade exception from Pierce.

The only contracts that are rough are Bogans and Gerald Wallace. Bogan's contract is only guaranteed for this season though.

[All Net]

Be great to see him out there live.

Milwaukee would love Jeff Green. I think we have the pieces to knock off Indy/Miami, but Green would really put us over the top no doubt

[BlazerRed]

One of my favourite players. Can't wait to see him back and see how he fits in with this young Boston squad. They have potential of they draft right with all the picks they've acquired.

[Black and White]

Can't wait to see Rondo back and vault back into the top 5pgs playing.

Trade value up? All he has to do is play. I don't get people with the trade talk. You can't leave your team without a drawing attraction, but it could become moot when his contract comes up. It's Ainges' move, and it has to be quick.

[Ratnik]

One of the realest ni99as in the NBA. Good luck to him

[ballup]

You mean confusing people about how good he truly is to a point where there is no consensus?

[bluechox2]

last chance to trade him before his stock drops

[All Net]

Why would it drop?

[Bandito]

Be great to see him out there live.
You're going to the game?

[Jameerthefear]

Good team to return on.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Why would it drop?

In before hall of famers argument that was basically defunct after 2009

[bluechox2]

Why would it drop?
why not, there is always a chance

[ImKobe]

I wonder if Rondo's shot has improved at all.

[All Net]

You're going to the game?
I try to get to most home games.
