Rajon Rondo Discussion: He's A Cleveland Cavalier

He's a mess defensively; I think it will get worse starting in the month of December if his mins aren't curtailed..

For now, we can live with it...and quite frankly, we need the bodies (healthy) right now.

 

#MyNeck&MyBack will be fine with some IcyHot.

Meanwhile what about Bron’s a**hole? He’s clearly gassed...



I’m only pointed out that our stars need help and Rondo actually filled in nicely in trying to assist Bron with playmaking duties.

Meanwhile Daniels and Dudz ain’t doing sh...hey Bron, mind using some goddamn potpourri after you done next time?!

 

Rondo will pay off during the playoffs. That’s a different kind of game and he knows how to play that and can handle the pressure. I’ll reserve judgment til after our championship next year.

 

I agree. Rondo does exceptionally well in the playoffs because he actually knows how to play the game. Regular season becomes really pointless for some of these guys. People hate Rondo here but he's got one of the highest AST/TO ratios in the league every season. He knows how to run the offense better than 90% of the guards in the league.

 

That's surprising if true as it seems he chucks 2 or 3 mustard off the hot dog passes away each game he plays.

 

he hasn't been top 10 with us but has been in 18 n 16

 

I've seen all the games Rondo has played this year, I'm trying to figure out what the issue is THIS year? Seems like some of you are just s***ting on him just to s*** on him now. I havent seen him become a problem at all. His nut smack on that d*** weed was warranted and I hope he does it again next time if he has to.

 

He played well tonight...

 

If he can replicate this game against more elite competition, I'd be happy, but can he? I don't think so. I hope he proves me wrong, though.

 

he's so slow on d now and very injury prone. i don't think it's realistic to pin our hopes on rondo. be great if it happens, though.

 

This times 10. He's got quick hands/length still but his footspeed has really diminished so guys are just waltzing past him or getting to their spots and shooting over him.
It's no coincidence that the defensive ranking has dropped significantly since Bradley went out

 

He needs to be placed at the back of the bench when Bradley comes back: his defense is getting markedly worse the more he plays.
On offense he's so helter skelter great play followed by dumb play.

Luckily the Lakers had plenty of time as Vogel went with Caruso for the entire 4th who stabilized the D but these big holes aren't worth it

 

Yep. And if we limit his first half mins, we probably win this convincingly.

 

He shouldn't play , Vogel is aware of it as Rondo didn't see any 4th quarter minutes but probably don't want to break the good mood in the locker room .

It is going to hurt against good teams though.

 

Please send this bum back to the bench once Bradley is healthy. I cannot stand Rondo - he kills our spacing, and he makes stupid plays on offense and forces passes that aren't there - not to mention defensively he's HORRIBLE and constantly gambling for no reason. He also does this stupid leak out play out of an inbounds play and those are PRIME to get stolen by the opposition - I'm just sick of this guy man yes he'll have a good game every now and then but overall he's horrible for us.

 

That IQ tho

 

Where is this Rondo hate coming from!?! Is it because he was once a C Bags? The guy played less than 20 minutes, took only three shots, and had 7 assists to only 2 turnovers! He didn't play awful at all. Yes, his floor spacing is poor and his defense is lacking but he's still capable of helping our offense flow when we need an experienced veteran to slow down the game. He had a +/- of 0... better than any starter outside of LeBron. The problem wasn't with Rondo this game so can we stop the hatefest going on with him?
