[quote=Rose]The record is 1,164.
He has 336 right now. not happening.
Aside from the fact he was padding those, sure.[/quote]
So because of one play he padded every single assist this season?
You Rose fans are so unbelievably desperate It's not even funny.

Even Ray-Ray was surprised. He looked pretty awkward scoring that ball.

Nope, apparently his "assist of the night" for a wide open Ray 3 was stat padding too.
I guess he didnt hurt anything. But it is pretty...odd...that hes clearly thinking of his numbers at a moment like that.
Ive often seen him drive and meet just the least bit of resistance and try to dump it off for a 3 or wrap a pass around a guy to a teammate in no better position than him. Its been kinda odd...but I didnt expect him to make it that obvious.
On one hand...I remember Lebron doing that once. In his first game in fact. Wiiiiiide open on the break he dumps it off to Ricky Davis trailing. But id say he was just trying to establish that he would be unselfish. Didnt get the feeling he was just out for the assist. Plus Ricky was running hard and I think Lebron was at a dead stop and just handed it off. Rondo slowed down and threw the pass well behind to a guy who was himself slowing up seeming to expect rondo to make the simple play.
Its pretty innocent as far as stat padding goes. But it was obvious as hell. Does put a little bit of a question mark on some of his totals. But....eh.
If you dont judge him by the numbers alone to begin with it shouldnt much impact your opinion of him.
It was kinda weak though. Stat padding always is...but especially when its made THAT obvious. Just kinda makes me wonder..."What are they doing out there? Playing for numbers or wins?". Luckily Rondos play style doesnt allow for genuine questioning of his goal. He wants to win. Goes hard to do so.
For the most part he plays the way id like to see out of more guys.
Its lame...but its not that major I guess.
[QUOTE=pete's montreux]So because of one play he padded every single assist this season?[/QUOTE]
What he doesn't do this alot? He always slows down to pass it off to someone for the assist. When he's pass the ball he rarely looks to attack, just patiently looks/waits till a someone gets open and he can get assists. A blind man can figure that out.

If you honestly don't think he does it at least once or twice a game, you're stupider than I gave you credit for.
And another thing. like I said in the GT. It's one thing if he passes it to Ray and Ray shoots the three, because if he misses....Rondo can get the rebound boom two points,or at best three. instead Rondo stayed out behind the free throw line even, and ray went inside for a dunk or layup I don't remember which.

Now that would have been great.
Rondo passes to Ray for the three.
If he misses, Rondo would still have time to get the board and lay it up.
But... He would have missed an assist :D

:roll: Exactly. it's the smarter play.
Strangely enough, I don't have a problem with what Rondo did. Him holding on to the ball for too long waiting for that perfect assists is my gripe with Rondo. If he wants to give an easy one to one of his teammates, so what?
Sometimes I swear the celtics don't care if they lose to shitty teams. They only bring their A game for certain teams. Anyway rondo saw a win win situation. I would have done it too.
If you replaced Rondo with Kobe you would have 20 pages. Just saying.

How did this crap even get to 9 pages? Ricky Davis shooting at his own rim probably didn't even get this many pages

if u replaced rondo with lebron u would have 60 pages.
I dont think you people understand basketball he did it to get ray allen going sometimes a easy layup gets you going.
[QUOTE=ace_gold_26]I dont think you people understand basketball he did it to get ray allen going sometimes a easy layup gets you going.[/QUOTE]
That is the dumbest excuse everyones been parroting. I'm sure a prolific shooter who started hot, then got Ded up, is going to feel a lot better after a dunk.
[QUOTE=Rose]He's missed 10-11 games already. He doesn't have a shot now.[/QUOTE]
He has a shot at APG record
hey fcuk faces, stop hating...it's called being a true point guard.
i'm far from being a celtic fan, but even when I balled I would pass up an open lay up to my teammate 100% of the time. it's the classy thing to do.
mind you, I didn't see the highlight....so if it looks completely ridiculous I apologize.
was he going for a triple double?

We're just surprised about him giving up an open lay up for a risky assist. He's lucky Ray got that 3. Imagine all the Celtics fans hating Rondo if Ray missed that shot.
Anyone that doesn't understand that play has never played PG before.
[QUOTE=Da KO King]Anyone that doesn't understand that play has never played PG before.[/QUOTE]
So do you think Magic, Isiah, Maravich, Payton or any other great PG would have done the same? Just asking.
[QUOTE=Jasi]So do you think Magic, Isiah, Maravich, Payton or any other great PG would have done the same? Just asking.[/QUOTE]
That early in a game when they look back and see: not a single defender even making the effort, and only one of their guys attempting to follow the play, yes. As a PG you want to make sure your guys are always giving effort. Especially in transition offense situations.
Rajon Rondo is not a natural PG and he certainly isn't vocal or assertive enough at times but to me that was a play that should make Doc Rivers happy. Plays like that put the rest of the team on notice that they need to put in effort.
Of course there is no telling with this Celtics team. They are extremely complacent and really do believe they can "switch it on" when it matters. That play either made them wake up or had no impact at all.
I'm on the fence.
On one hand you want him to take the easy 2. On the other hand they made the shot and getting Ray involved is good for the team.
I guess it boils down to motive.
Did he really want to get Ray going or was he thinking about assist numbers?
Who knows:confusedshrug:
Rondo Is A Troll
lol, damn. A 10 page thread on one play? It's funny how ISH continues to try to convince themselves that Rondo is not that good but they can't stop making threads about him. :oldlol:

Because of posters like you, who can't get over the fact that he's a phony. :facepalm
[QUOTE=Rose]If you honestly don't think he does it at least once or twice a game, you're stupider than I gave you credit for.[/QUOTE]How are you talking like that as if you watch more Celtic games than him? I've honestly noticed him blatantly give up an easy bucket to get an assist like 3 or 4 total times this season. And it's usually against bad teams.

but you are the one replying, after replying, after replying through all of them :oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:
:lol I think it's pretty clear in the video that he prefers to get the assist than to get the points. And he wants to get more assists because that's how he gets his props.
Kind of a risky thing to do however. I mean the purpose of an offensive possession is to score, and if you have a wide open layup with no defender in sight would you pass it up to your team mate further away from the basket who has a defender close to him? Get real. Any other point guard would lay that in. The only way someone will pass that up is if they want to get fancy.
I dont hate rondo, quite the contrary, i actually like his game. But i do not approve of this play. It's unnecessary and is a clear indication that he just wants to add more assists to his APG. Not that there is anything wrong with that per se, but it may prove costly in certain plays. But ofcourse, if rondo can keep doing his thing and keep his team winning, i dont see any reason to hate on him for these kinds of plays.
He wants to win the assists title.
[QUOTE=Lebron23]He wants to win the assists title.[/QUOTE]
I think he has that in the bag he is up by 2 APG or something like that

You don't see how scoring makes a guy more confident? You sir are a knobhead..... Allen shooting shooting confidence > Rondo Shooting confidence for a team...
[QUOTE=montaownedu]It's not like he passed up an easy shot to get an assist for a harder shot.[/QUOTE]
[i]Technically[/i], it's actually a lower % shot when someone leading a fastbreak slows up and dishes off to someone else. :lol The highest % shot in that situation is for the player ahead of the pack to finish the play himself.

Allen looked like he was waiting for Rondo to do a lay-up then started running when Rondo passed him the ball. :lol
What was the score when he did this?
[QUOTE=Hittin_Shots]You don't see how scoring makes a guy more confident? You sir are a knobhead..... Allen shooting shooting confidence > Rondo Shooting confidence for a team...[/QUOTE]
I don't see how a layup makes an elite jump shooter feel more confident. He didn't think this through. This is the most moronic excuse people have been vomiting since he started everyone that watched the game saw him pad his stats.
It's funny because in the next quarter he had a fastbreak layup and bricked it. Maybe the kid really can't shoot :lol
Rondo won't be doing this in the playoffs, he'll get the easy 2 with a lay-up if this was a playoff game.
Celtics are so good that they're starters are just toying around out there. They've been trolling all season long too. i.e. those prank videos from the preseason, KG calling Villanueva a cancer patient, PP and Nate at MSG, PP's twitter on South Beach, etc...

They were down 8 or 9 against the Bulls at that time.
edit: my bad. But that's kind of even worse. Trollin' in a close game. I thought it was later in the game.
