anyone thinking what Rondo did to was to built Allen's confidence is in denial. Like you know what's going through his head. Allen been in the league for 15 years. you really thinks by making an uncontested layup is gonna help him shoot 3s better? when the guy is on fire, he's on fire. A layup isn't going to help a future HOF make his 3s after that. It happens or it don't.

Denial, eh? Okay. Well the I'll tell you like it is. Rondo wanted the assist. Ray probably wanted the basket. He passed the ball. If you care about this, then you're a douche. Period. It's not like this particular play won or lost the game for Boston. Get over it and stop bitching.
Classic Case of Stats padding.
He wants assists more than points.
[QUOTE=Lebron23]Classic Case of Stats padding.[/QUOTE]
Why wouldn't he just pad his scoring since he clearly is better at passing than scoring :confusedshrug:
[QUOTE=Jasi]Do you really think that an easy layup will help Ray's confidence?
Or that Rondo elaborated all this during the play?
I honestly think[B] he just saw an assist coming[/B]...[/QUOTE]
He passes it back to Ray beyond the 3 point line though. I was shocked that the Bulls scorers gave him an assist for that.
I was called every name in the book and was told I'm making things up just to hate on Rondo. I've been saying for weeks that he passes up open layups just to pad his assists. I even got argued up and down about how wrong I was. And then what does he do?
He goes right out and does exactly what I've been saying.
Apologies are in order.
I missed the game today. Anyone have a video of this?
I have been growing frustrated with Rondo's game lately. Against the Spurs he was great, but against the Raptors in the last game, Rondo was ass. He is playing too cocky, and pulling some dumb shit. Some god-awful passes.
Maybe he expected Ray to dunk it? (Didn't see the play)
It would be justified if it was an alley-oop....like off the backboard or something.

You didn't see it, so no, you have no opinion on it.

You make it sound (and have done in previous arguments) like he does it 14 times a game. :facepalm He [B]might[/B] do it once every 10 games.
Every time I see Rondo, he does it. You guys might not acknowledge it, but I know what I see.

Proof, please. I've watched all but two Celtics games this year, and I can remember him passing up a wide open layup twice, including last night (which was a dunk I think, to answer the guy on the previous page).

don't play stupid, it wasn't a dunk.
it wasn't a alley oop either like what somebody else thought.

Wide open layup and he throws a risky pass to get bailed out by Ray Allen

[QUOTE=coin24]Seen Rondo play much? :lol :lol I wouldnt trust him to shoot anything except an open layup:lol :lol :lol[/QUOTE]
It looks like you have a year without watching him

Seriously? Where he was being challenged by a guy at the rim, he kicks it out for a 3? Just because it's a difficult pass doesn't mean it was a bad one. There was one I can remember that was like that but he was actually in 5 feet of space and he kicked it for a midrange jump shot.
[QUOTE=jasonresno]He wasn't right there. Rondo got past halfcourt, literally waited a full second for Allen to catch up, and then bounce passed it to him. The reason everyones talking about it is because it sort of jarred the flow of the game. It was very blatant imo. Again, not that there's anything wrong with it. But that wasn't within the flow of the game. It was completely to +1 his assists for the night.[/QUOTE]
I didn't see the play but reading the post I'm wondering whats the fuss about. Does anyone think he stole the ball and said "Oh let me get a assist used telepathic message to Ray to run down and come get the pass. By the way why didn't Big Baby or PP run down was Ray stat padding his points.:facepalm

If that's not stat-padding then I don't know what stat-padding is
You stupid twats, what the hell is so stat-padding about an assist to a teammate???? :facepalm
I actually missed that play last night because I had to make a quick run to do an errand, but I watched the video this morning. Really? Guys are complaining about that? He did the same exact thing before with Perkins two seasons ago when he wasn't even in the top point guard discussion. Rondo wants his teammates to gain confidence in their game. Technically, that's not even an assist. Ray takes at least 4 steps after he caught the ball.
that was just a pathetic display of desperate stat padding
[QUOTE=Premeditated]:facepalm
He stole the pass from Rose and went for the fast-break. He was by himself. There wasn't anyone within 20 feet from him to block his shot. But he slowed down to wait for Ray Allen and passed it to him so he can get an assist.

Come on man, get real. Rondo was just showing off his incredible court vision, his God like basketball IQ, and his ability to be the catalyst of play making.

Notice who turned the ball over on the play? You can overanalyse 1 play if you want, and on that one Rose was displaying his great court vision to pick Rondo out for the pass.

Rondo has a chance to go for all time assists in a season...Shit every one counts... To him he is thinking... "Oh an easy assist" instead of "Oh and easy bucket..."
[QUOTE=gts]he was padding his turnover stats[/QUOTE]
:oldlol: this.
Rondo did pretty badly in padding his turnovers last night, he'll be disappointed
[QUOTE=Theoo]yeas good the put robinsan into the game almost block rose[/QUOTE]
ITS ROBINSON FFS :facepalm
Holy shit, how are you people still be arguing about a pass?
[QUOTE=ATL_Bball_King]Rondo has a chance to go for all time assists in a season...Shit every one counts... To him he is thinking... "Oh an easy assist" instead of "Oh and easy bucket..."[/QUOTE]
Finally someone understands. Also when he set that NBA record for most assists in 5 games he knew he had a shot. Now he couldnt play for a few games, so he wants to catch up. Call him a whore, it would be pretty amazing if he get that nba record.
[QUOTE=ATL_Bball_King]Rondo has a chance to go for all time assists in a season...Shit every one counts... To him he is thinking... "Oh an easy assist" instead of "Oh and easy bucket..."[/QUOTE]
He's missed 10-11 games already. He doesn't have a shot now.
[QUOTE=ProfessorMurder]Holy shit, how are you people still be arguing about a pass?[/QUOTE]
GO Away Kobe stan.:roll:
[QUOTE=ProfessorMurder]Holy shit, how are you people still be arguing about a pass?[/QUOTE]
Yeah its pretty amazing lol. Also he sharing it with ray allen who had been off all night seemed like a good move.
Just saw the play and it wasn't a bad play. He traded an easy layup for an easy layup. That's it.
As long as rondo's so called 'stat-padding' doesn't lose the team opportunities(which it never does) and he keeps playing great and boston keeps winning he's doing his job.
I mean the man has had multiple triple doubles, and 20+ assist games. Rondo averages 14 a game and is far and away the assist king. I can see 2 or 3 stat padding assists a game but he would still be the league leader in assists if you subtracted those amounts.:oldlol:
Rondo's combo of defense/stealing ability, rebounding, transition play, playmaking, and passing ability is the best in the league for any PG and those are the purest PG essentials.
[QUOTE=Rose]He's missed 10-11 games already. He doesn't have a shot now.[/QUOTE]
Well maybe not. Still 82 assist in 5 games was amazing.
[QUOTE=Jeannot]Well maybe not. Still 82 assist in 5 games was amazing.[/QUOTE]
The record is 1,164.
He has 336 right now. not happening.
Aside from the fact he was padding those, sure.
