    6 dimes in the 3rd, 8 in total. 24-10 run in the 3rd with him out there. Huge outing and effort on both sides of the court. Was a +22 then gets tossed from his best game this season.

    Flagrant 1, sure. Flagrant 2, b*******!

    Yep. AR gets hit in the head -- not even review. Rondo does it -- F2.

    f***ing morons.

    He brought that fun, magic, and energy back in the 3rd and was key in getting us that lead. Wished we had him in the 4th.

    Yeah bubble Rondo made an appearance.

    You just can't play him with Westbrook: they make each other worse

    Stupid refs. There is no way that was a flagrant 2. Garbage.

    saved the game, as soon as he enters offense seemed little more smooth and effort picked up on both ends

    Rajan made a bad play on that one, Howard had Rozier hemmed up anyway. That being said the refs sucked last night.

    Rondo has such a knack at finding AD for easy baskets. No wonder AD loves playing with him

    Their connection rivals that of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. 'Do can come in cold and not playing with him for a year and they don't miss a step.

    There's one play that Rondo runs a lot, especially for Melo and i'm wondering why Russ and the other guards don't borrow it.

    Rondo will bring the ball up and either hand off or a give a touch pass in close proximity to Melo and IMMEDIATELY turn into an offensive lineman and put his body between the defender and his teammate with the ball (usually Melo), creating enough space for them to get off a quick 3.

    Rondo to AD is to B-Shaw to Shaq back in the day. B-Shaw would serve alley oops to Shaq in bunches. Rondo to AD is a legit connection.

    It's really something that I can't understand why the coaching staff is pushing for

    Rondo + Westbrook together is pretty scrubtastic.

    The only reason he's here is because AD likes him. Still don't think we should have him

    LOL you’re on a roll. Is Rondo’s chemistry on the court with AD maybe more than a case of bro love? Or was his incredible run in the Bubble to help win us a championship just another reason you think that ring needs an asterisk? Bleep that and anyone else’s asterisk on that ring for ALL of the common sense reasons that have been stated.

    It is diminished because these guys haven't replicated that high level of quality basketball in the other seasons.

    If our boys don't turn it around this year , they would be confirming that line of thinking




    As for Rondo being AD's boy, when he starts eating into Nunn and THT's minutes then you will see how his presence hurts this team

    You’re quoting Charles f****** Barkley to validate that whack asterisk opinion (from a Lakers fan no less) …. Shirley you can’t be serious.
