    It's probably my fault, I was just thinking to myself during the game last night how well he is playing and it seems right when he starts to really do well he gets hurt.

    It was a "tweak" according to last night's broadcast but could be serious as he was held out during the second half. Precautionary. Rondo may be a shell of his former self but you can't put a price on experience.

    Normal tweak = 2-4 games.
    Lakers tweak = 3-4 weeks...

    Hopefully Rondo is ok and will return soon. He's been playing extremely well, and last night he was outstanding. That sequence where he made two threes in a row, then came down and blocked a shot and then got a steal? Wow! That was prime playoff Rondo mode.

    In the meantime a little more PT for Caruso and Cook and hopefully we get Bradley back in a week as he was talking about returning against Miami.

    With Rajon managing Bron’s usage rate, I’ve lost track...are we load managing the load manager or the load managee?

    So Rondo on a really good team is always playoff Rondo?

    Guys like Rondo should be load managed. Kawhi...is just a clown.

    Rondo needs to keep his shooting groove.

    Rondo is the only one other than Lebron who can play PG and get people involved. It isn't rocket science why you want Rondo out there. This was his first bad shooting night. Not a big deal.

    He breaks the defense down and he simplifies the offense to give A.D. and Lebron easier looks. He's much needed, they work a lot less when he's rolling. I hope he stays healthy.. especially with his shots landing.
