    He’s playing solid basketball. That’s all we need from him, nothing fancy, not trying to do too much, just solid minutes to spell the starters, and that’s what we got again tonight. He only made one shot, but he only took 4, so he’s not hurting us when he does that, and he’s setting up others well, and not being a liability on defense, that’s all I can ask.

    Best ball he’s played for us over the 2 seasons. Vogel is getting the best out of everyone that’s in the regular long rotation. And keeping the other guys engaged and ready for whenever they do get some minutes. Players coach extraordinaire. Who woul d think with the history of drama in L.A and James on the team and likely not James’s 1st choice to replace Walton. Amazing!

    Rondo vs Beverley is going to be a game in itself. Beverley don't want none of Playoffs Rondo.

    The smack talking and head games with Westbrook were priceless. And then his brother heckling from the stands was just hilarious. Great stuff from Playoff Rondo and kin!

    Great series from Rondo - couldn't have played any better tbh.

    I hope he can keep this up - Playoff Rondo is a THING.

    A significant contribution for a whole series against a problematic team.

    Having his brother send Westbrook's blood pressure into triple double extremes.

    Floor Generalship, more edge than a ginzu knife factory.

    The legend of playoff Rondo continues, and is only two playoff series away from being a respected and venerable member of the Lakers for Life (all debts and former lives forgiven).

    Very good game, in that he can quietly contribute and slot in without having to be our third scorer etc. Doing a bag load of the small and essential things well.

    I knew he could contribute, but this series has surpassed my faith and expectations. Man if he can get inside Beverley's head with him and his tag team partner sibling in the bleachers we will have some fun.

    Looks like Rondo is on the injured list again with back spasms and questionable for game 1 against the Nuggets.

    see: earlier comments re: my concern about eggs in the rondo basket. he has trouble staying on the floor.

    no rondo AND no bradley will be a bit of an issue against murray.

    Hopefully, he'll be able to play. But after this year, I think he's done. With all due respect.

    I prayed for Playoff Rondo, but I didn't know we'd end up depending on Playoff Rondo this much. Injuries, unfortunately, are a part of the Playoff Rondo experience.

    I hope he can play. Back spasms can be unpredictable from day to day.

    On the bright side it’s less likely to keep him out for an entire series than something pulled, torn, fractured, sprained, etc. Spasms potentially can let up in time for him to play.

    Not just good, excellent yet again, controlled game, 9 assists. If we continue to get this Rondo we are going to win it all, never expected to see him play this well.

    Finals basketball is the game, and Playoff Rondo has all of the cheat codes. That was the glorious shot of a player thriving in the moment rather than shriveling in the pan like played-out Paul and his buddy the paranoid android.

    I knew of playoff Rondo, but still never imagined him playing this well.

    Pinpoint bounce passes, timely lobs, controlled the game. Relieved James of the playmaking abilities who still had dimes all over the place. Had a trey.
