    I would give him a lot of minutes tomorrow. I don't want him starting or finishing the game, but those crucial end of quarter minutes I would give it to him and let him run things

    It's not a secret that this was not Rondos best game. It's also no secret that she's played so well he was due to have an off game now and then. He has earned so much respect and good will from the laker fans we all can forgive a bad game.
    I have no problems with either him Caruso or kcp in at the end of games.

    This is regular season Rondo, this is the stuff he does all season long that has so many here and in all the fandom annoyed at him. That said, we’ve gotten this far because he has in large part stopped doing this stuff, he’s stopped being a net negative, or even a neutral, he’s been a positive. We need him to be decent to win, if he’d even had an OK game instead of a horrible one in game 5 we likely win. Here’s hoping he turns it around tonight, we need someone like him to step up, the younger guys like Kuz and AC look more than a little rattled, needs to be that veteran guy to stabilize the bench.

    He played like a mini-LeBron from game 5. He showed up tonight. Must re-sign Rondo next season.

    The Legend of Playoff Rondo.

    Some real hugs from players to Rondo, and Rondo and Vogel had a real deep and meaningful talk while celebrating the win with an embrace.

    Came up with the goods as a third or fourth scorer for this game, coached from the court and started hunting for assists after shooting three count 'em threes.

    I have enjoyed this season and glad Playoff Rondo has come up with another classic performance.

    Jubilant with the falling of confetti and ripped up receipts falling from the ceiling.

    Rondo was fantastic tonight. So glad he still had another level to kick in for the playoffs

    Well, he delivered. Freeze him now until 2021 playoffs.

    We needed him. Can’t believe it. Stunned thinking back what I thought about him 2 months ago.

    Do some fools out there still think Playoff Rondo is not a real thing?

    Closeout 'Do! Attacked and played a perfect first half. That post season gear is remarkable. His offensive punch and 3 ball tonight was huge.

    He played out of his mind tonight. Unbelievable in these entire playoffs. I was wrong about him
