Did you all see what Rondo just did?

Probably the dumbest popular argument on the internet.

[QUOTE=jasonresno]You're telling me Rondo cannot make a layup when he's the only one on that half of the court?

Again, I've got no problem with it, I just think all of this justification for a blatant move is hilarious.[/QUOTE]

No, what I'm saying is that I'd rather have Ray Allen make a shot to potentially build his confidence rather than have Rondo do the same since he hardly shoots anyway.

If you guys want to *****, then blame the other team for not running back faster and stopping Ray Allen. It's not Rondo's fault he can stop at half court with nobody defending/chasing him.

:oldlol: I'm sure making an empty court layup after bricking a bunch of jumpers really makes him feel better. And even more I'm sure that's exactly what was running through Rondos head. Whatever though this shouldn't even be a thread. I don't care that he did it (which I've said over and over) I think it's funny and it's proof he pads his stats. And that's fine. It's just proof is all.

I would say that adding a 1-1 to the FGA-FGM column and 2 points is universally considered more impressive to stats than 1 assist. Don't know the details but it definitely heavier weighted by advanced stats

anyone would rather have 10-10 field goals than 10 assists on their stat sheet.

however, if it's guaranteed points either way, it's better for chemistry and getting players going to share the stats. I didn't watch so i dont know for sure, but if he had a guaranteed layup either way, better to pass it off

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.
