"Playoff Rondo doe"

That makes it even worse. Not even good enough to see the floor.

There's a reason he didn't play much

[imdaman99]

Something ain't right with him. I need to know what it is... before the Knicks... overpay for his services... :/

[TheMarkMadsen]

There's a reason he didn't play much

yeah because Carlisle has it out for him, let Rondo be Rondo, with free reign he could be helping Dirk and Monta out offensively

Dirk just went 3/14, got absolutly wrekked on defense.. but place blame on the guy who got pulled 30 seconds into the 2nd half and never got back in the game

Rondo has proven himself in the playoffs multiple times, he doesn't deserve this treatment from his coach

Looks like Giannis' numbers against the Bulls yesterday.

[Hittin_Shots]

Clearly not wanted on the Mavs, wonder who picks him up this off season. Mavs may be lowering his value for them also.

[imnew09]

hopefully the Lakers can get him for cheap! :bowdown: :bowdown:

Carlisle "has it out for him" because he's trash. How does common sense escape you?

[Legends66NBA7]

Yeah, it's crazy how people kept thinking Rondo was going to turn it up in the playoffs when he looks nothing close to this 10-12 season years

"If there's game 7, I will take Rondo over any PG." :biggums:

[Hittin_Shots]

hopefully the Lakers can get him for cheap! :bowdown: :bowdown:

Probably can, and you'd wanna hope his play is due to not wanting to be where he is or not being 100% yet or something like that and he can turn it around.

[navy]

Rondo and Kobe is gonna be fun.

For half the season ?

He's done with the Mavs. I'm sure he can put up 10ppg 10 assts still

great analysis!! :applause:


so.. you think that Rondo has his skill and abilities :facepalm

if you can't tell that there is something else up, than you're not watching the games, its plain to see.. not sure what else to tell you

Charles, Shaq and Kenny all said the exact same thing

[guy]

I can't really imagine where he'll go next year. Too much of an attitude, can't shoot, and needs to dominate the ball too much for any good team to want him much less throw big money at him. And he obviously makes no sense for a rebuilding team. Only teams I can see maybe want him are the Lakers and/or Knicks i.e. poor management trying to appease their superstar and frustrated fanbase and aren't patient enough to go through a traditional rebuild who HOPE Rondo can be the answer. Otherwise, I really don't know where he will end up. He might have to completely drop the attitude, and reinvent himself as some kind of defensive stopper making way less then he was expecting.

[navy]

Until they kill each other.

Whether there's something "else up" is irrelevant. Guy was garbage in the regular season, and is just another body in these 2 playoff games.

Sitting him down is the best thing Dallas can do in this series.

[RRR3]

:roll: Please tell me no one actually said this...and if they did, I need names lol.
Celtics fans probably lol. And the aussieguy

[Wally450]

You're really trying to sell this huh? It's been two games and he played what, 10 minutes in Game 2? Chill out.

I know this isn't his system and he can't play with these guys who needs the ball in their hands to be successful. He's leaving this summer to a team that suits his needs. He'll be back next year.

[TheMarkMadsen]

Whether there's something "else up" is irrelevant. He's been garbage since the trade, and was just another body in these 2 playoff games. Sitting him down will actually get the Mavs a win or two in this series.

that worked well tonight

Last sentence but I was going off memory. So I actually haven't found someone who said my quote (hyperbole on my part).

That thread and the OP is bad, though.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

The Mavs' record post trade did as well. *crickets*

[StephHamann]

He had 3 hall of famers in Boston, and the offense was a clogged toilet shithole. They only won because of defense, this guy can't run any offense.

Would take Derek Fisher over this guy every day.

When will you guys realize no team has a need for Rondo. The dude cannot lead a great offense and he's a point guard.

Celtics fans still love Rondo. Even though Boston did better without him this year.

what does that have to do with this series? Do you expect them to win a playoff series with Raymond Felton as their starting point guard? :lol :lol

Damn. That's a tough one. :hammerhead:

To be honest, they weren't winning with either point guard.

Mavericks are too weak defensively.

Damn. That's a tough one. :hammerhead:

there are so many variables during the regular season, comparing W/L in the context that you are is just dumb if you're trying determine what works in the playoffs

that's like saying the 2014 Nets were going to beat the HEAT in the playoffs because they were 4-0 against them in the regular season.

Rondo is their best option at point guard, he consistently raises his game in the post season. Let him do his thing.

[lakerHater]

Might be the last time you see Rondo this postseason!

[RRR3]

Maybe in Japan

Watch him brick freethrows, jumpshots, stagnate an offense, play bad defense and whine like a pansy?

I think Rick & co will pass.

If anything, Rick Carlisle is a Top 2-3 coach confirmed.

It's amazing this Mavs team won 50 games in a tough conference, toughest divison... despite the lack of defense, dysfunction, and veteran role players.

:facepalm on Carlise having it out for him

Rondo only works well with a very select line up and the Mavs don't have it, that's not Rondos fault, it was a bad trade but the best thing Rondo could do is play within the system that's been in place for a few years now and quit trying to force the issue...

Lakers don't have the right lineup either so unless he comes real cheap I'm hoping the Lakers pass him up

Had to recheck the date of the post to make sure this wasn't from 2012 or 2013. I don't know why I'm surprised though. That probably wasn't even the worst thing said that week on this forum. #ISH4EVA :banana:

[R.I.P]

Most overrated player of the 21st century

Been saying it since 2009

Yeah, me too. From day 1, I said he just product of Big 3 with an ugly face :cheers:

[Nick Young]

Rondo was only good on the Cs because he had 3 HOF shooters to pass to. They also helped space the floor, allowing him to drive in and get his during playoff games. I knew he wouldn't be able to pull that shit when the big 3 left, I knew he would go back to being a scrub, and guess what, I was right. He is a defensive role player, that's it.

[Mr Clutch Melo]

...

[stevieming]

zero effort, not bought into the Mavs locker room at all...he dominates the ball so much and creates so little....

totally wrecked Monta's game....

I wish the Mavs never traded for his sorry azzzz

[Optimus Prime]

Welcome to LA, Rondo. Kobe and Love won't hate. :pimp:

:kobe:

[tpols]

That one sequence where he got a 8 second violation and left Terry wide open for a 3 after.. I thought Carlisle was gonna have an anuerism:lol

[ArbitraryWater]

Holy shit :roll: :roll: :roll:

um, thats your reaction? srsly?

[Eric Cartman]

Sign with the knicks, perfect fit alongside Melo.

Stay the fvck away from the Lakers doe.

[Derka]

I wanna feel bad for the guy and I want to see him do well but...Jesus Christ, Rondo...get your head in the game.

[Harison]

Stay the fvck away from the Lakers doe.
Interestingly, Kobe likes Rondo, and he fits Kobe's style. :lol

But no, Lakers wont sign him.

[FaceBack]

He wants to win, knows how to win. He torched the Rockets in the second quarter of game 1, then completely looked passive the second half. Carlisle would rather lose without him than win Rondo's way. Great coaches coach their personnel, not their system. He has new personnel and he refuses to adjust. This is all on the coach.

Im praying to God that the Lakers sign him to a 4 year deal.

Rondo was worse than usual last night.

Kobe doesn't fit Rondo's style at all :kobe:

[Ariza4three]

Rondo is in the same boat as Harden or at least was before Harden went playoff mode

[RRR3]

At least Harden hits his free throws

[Ariza4three]

At least Harden hits his free throws

That's not what I was implying but ok.

[He Strong]

I wanna feel bad for the guy and I want to see him do well but...Jesus Christ, Rondo...get your head in the game.

I'm the same way. When he is clicking, he looks like the best PG in the league, but that mentality is a giant issue.

[Jacks3]

He doesn't fit Kobe's style at all. You're an idiot.

He needs an a*shole around.

[Eric Cartman]

Kobe would love to play with current Rondo. If there's something Mamba likes is a good challenge. But it wouldn't make sense personnel wise since we have Clarkson and Mudiay/Russell on the way.
