    Someone needs to be the scapegoat and since KCP and Kuzma have bounced back a little... Rondo is the only one left to pick on.

    He's shooting 40% from three... (which is the same as Danny Green so far this season) yet people still think he can't shoot at all.

    His assist/turnover ratio isn't bad... I've not seen anything particular inspiring from him... but the hate is disproportionate considering his salary

    He and Danny Green both have about 8PPG and 3 RPG but before you tell me how much better he is on defense or more efficient on offense (he is)

    Rondo is getting paid 2.5 million and DG is getting paid 14.6

    Quoting his +/- and boxscore without actually watching his game performance is going to fool you.
    He let Jrue get on a roll in his first stint which put the Lakers in a big hole and then he happened to be on the court with Lebron when the Lakers came back (this why adjusted +/- is better then unadjusted when you get enough of a sample size). Of course during the comeback he made some dumb passes like to Kuz in traffic who had no chance to hold it and was targeted on D - essentially the comeback he was a counterweight to the other good things on the court

    So glad Vogel didn't play Rondo in the 4th and let Caruso finish.

    Caruso had a +23 PER in the Pelicans game. And you know how much analytics excite me.

    He is so inept. We are stuck with him because we don't have any options at PG. I hope we can trade or sign someone off FA soon. Rondo has come to Kwame level right now because he is just so bad to watch. The team is so much better when he's off the court and Caurso is in.

    Are we watching the same games? Rondo barely played but he had 13 points on 5 for 7 with 4 assists in just 11 minutes! I thought he was doing well out there. + 15 rating to boot.

    He did well yesterday, but I despise him.

    So, there's that...

    I don't want to jinx him... but he's shooting 45% from three this season and we haven't lost a game when he's played.

    I shudder to think what some of you would say about him if we were losing.

    The guy above that LVBD and I are joking about has a name for you indeed after what you just did.

    Jinx Boy. I know this well.

    His shot hasn't been a liability, but the D continues to defend him based on his 3 point history and not good current line... that's good for us. Hell, for a stretch last night he was our second leading scorer.

    Had a couple nice lobs to AD and Bron.
