Rajon Rondo Discussion: He's A Cleveland Cavalier

He should of went for the easy two there, I think he wanted to pass out for a three however. Bad decision making for a historically good decision maker.

 

That play looked like a “shave point” play. That was utter idiocy from Rondo, which you don’t see. Doesn’t add up.

 

The team is putting lipstick on it, but it was a dumb play. It probably didn't cost the us the game--six minutes of putrid offense did that--but man, that was bad.

 

JESmith’d that one

 

Practicing on that prior to actual gambling being opened everywhere for the league so it will look completely natural. Can't be accused now and yes, he needs a lot of work in that regard. Though guess he could be accused for the Las Vegas folks.

 

as much as rondo is helping, he's is an assist hunter/stat padder, its in his nature thats why he tried to pass it out instead of taking that easy 2

 

No it's not. He brain farted and forgot the time left to score the 2 and then play the foul game. Just talking about that play that's silly. OR .... what BT said above you.

 

Rondo has been known to pass up layups for assist all his career, its in his nature, good or bad

 

I was taking issue with you blaming that last play on that nature good or bad, and said so specifically.

 

its not a "brain fart," its 2nd nature to him to look for the pass regardless of the type of shot he passes up, he's already done that a few times, passing up on a layup for someone else to hit a jump shot

 

Look he's noted for being a cerebral player and that would not be classified as a cerebral play. It looked much more like a brain fart since he started to put it up and then appeared like he remembered they were down 3. Or what BT said about thinking he had someone for the 3 to tie it immediately.

 

I RageOn for Rajon...he's been the guy I wanted since Boston was rumored to trade him.

That being said, that final play was a WTF moment and his explanation didn't really help. He scores, we're down 1 with roughly 10+ seconds left in the game and even if we have no timeouts remaining, we can play the free throw game and see how it plays out. So no excuses Do...bruh you messed up.

That being said, that play alone isn't what cost us the game...not even close. 'Do was the only Laker player to be a net positive for that game playing just under 30 minutes (SwaGee and Lance were a net wash of 0, while every other Laker was a negative). Blaming 'Do for the loss is like blaming Bron for those 2 missed FTs that cost us the game, when dude got us into OT to begin with the 1st time we played them dudes.

There are bigger problems on this team than how we're closing games offensively...and I'm looking at 110 points given up to a team that is 2nd worst in PACE.

 

Rajon "JR Smith" Rondo.

 

thought about remaking this one as Rondo



but that one took awhile

 

I’m not getting the hate for Rondo. I really like him (can’t believe I typed that!)...
