Did you all see what Rondo just did?

[QUOTE=mans1ay3r]goddamn people are obsessed with Rondo. No wonder he got more votes than Rose. "All eyes one me."

If any other PG did this, it would be considered smart. Its keeping another teammate warm. I thought it was common knowledge how a layup can potentially light up a shooter? But oh no it was Rondo. He got an assist and gave a shooter an easy layup. That's killing two birds with one stone.. but oh no its Rondo.. so it must be a negative. :oldlol: It really is true whenever someone is exceptionally good at something, they become hated for it.

I always hated on the Cavs how Lebron would just drive to the hoop and always get a call. But I never cried about it or made topics about it, because I understood why he did it. Cant expect everyone to understand things about players they dislike.[/QUOTE]

Pass it out or getting 2 points by himself, it was Rondo's choice, and they did convert that basket, so what the freak people are crying about?
For people who appreciate Rondo's game, not only because his assist numbers, but also his vision, passing and court opening skills, hard work and hustle and defensive abilities.
For true Celtics fans, we only care about winning. We don't care if Rondo has 20 assists or how many 3's Ray can sink. We just want a "W" on the score sheet.
Only the Rondo haters keep mentioning the assist thing and make it negative.

[QUOTE=DeronMillsap]They went 1-3 against the Magic and 2-2 against the Cavs during the regular season...then destroyed both teams in the playoffs. I think even the Hawks swept them.

This recent Bulls-C's game won't build any momentum or mean anything in the playoffs.

No, I didn't say they were toying with the Bulls. I said they're toying around in the regular season. Learn to read.[/QUOTE]
I have to agree with you because we are on the same page about the celtics. They seem to cruise through the regular season and step up WHEN THEY NEED TO. Good example was the celtics vs the cavs in the playoffs. The heat seem to be doing the opposite and beating their opponents by 10 or more point usually. We will see if they can keep it up until the playoffs.

IMO the only teams in the east that are going to be competitive is orlando, miami and boston. One of these 3 teams is going to get an easy win in the first round aginst the bulls or hawks.

In the words of Andrew Bynum, "Are you serious?"

I don't give a shit about Rondo wanting the assist rather than the points. Dude is a playmaker and a great distributor of the ball. I am in the group that says very few point guards in the NBA could average as many assists as he does playing on the Celtics, stat padding or not.

I am not sold on Orlando at all yet. Otis Smith had a whole off season to assess his team's needs and weaknesses. And then he makes a colossal trade mid season to save his job? The trade is seemingly working out in terms of regular season wins. But post-season series come down to match-ups and intense defense. The defense player of the year will holdup just fine in the middle...but perimeter defense is a serious problem for the Magic.

Chicago is a new emerging beast in the East. The Bulls have an excellent defensive rookie HC that has particular insights into the workings of the Boston Celtics. The Bulls defense has had a major renovation and restoration. The Bulls' superstar is playing like the MVP of the league and the East, along w/Amare S. Rose is playing at a level now where a serious observer can see that Rose is capable of filing in the gaps of the Bulls needs in a particular post season series. Rose is staying with his penetration longer now and keeping his dribble alive until the point of defensive contact and a foul call by the referees. This tactic will help insure that Rose can produce points nearly every 4th Quarter possession in the post season. Rose is strong enough to take the pounding too. Along with the Bulls more suffocating overall defense, these developments make the Bulls a more viable threat in the East. I would say that Miami, Boston and Orlando ~ Chicago are the favored Eastern teams.

LMAO he just did literally the exact same play against Houston about a minute ago

haha just saw it.. to ray too:oldlol:

ha me too :roll:

I love this kid to no end.

rondo passing up wide open looks to pad his assists but failing.

rondo makes all boston fans :lol

everyone else :mad:

I guess Rondo heard everyone on ISH last night :lol

Yea it is amusing that he did it again the very next game.

I still love his approach but it is harder to take his numbers serious at the moment. Hes clearly out to produce assists even if its not exactly the most basic play.

Its kinda like Kevin Loves rebounding in a way. Wasnt he quoted saying "There are no selfish rebounds"?

Guys just setting out to produce crazy numbers even if they have to make it obvious that the numbers themselves are the goal make it a little less impressive. Like when Rodman on the Mavs wouldnt play defense so he could rebound.

Just has a little bad taste on it doesnt it?

So he likes to get the assist. Did anyone make a 13 page thread to complain when J-Kidd was in his prime running fast breaks and throwing off the backboard passes to K-Mart, RJ, and Vince rather than making an easy open layup?
