Rajon Rondo Discussion: He's A Cleveland Cavalier

Jesus, ‘Do has been dropping some bombs lately. Seems so loose and happy where he is, Russ too.

Love ‘Do’s dry humor. Good signs, people. Good signs.

 

I think they wanted Reaves around all of our elite, one way or another, “guardom” on this roster as much as possible …. while they’re here this season because of the potential they see in him. To learn and absorb.

 

This is why I've always liked AD. There is something in his demeanor and personality that just gets it.

No one is perfect. The only negative is his assertiveness sometimes but you deal with it because he does everything else so well. The fact that he has committed to playing Center to start the year and he has been quiet, tells me he is about to wreck shop.

 

Don't blame him. I wouldn't want to document any time spent with the Hawks or Clippers either.

 

or get hurt thinking he's more capable of handling the pounding than he is

 

Nice gesture by the fans. He is more responsible for the Bubble 'Ship than any player not named AD or Bron.

I think he and Dwight really want their parade and that factored into their return. This is no parade, but a very nice acknowledgement.

 

I think Rondo is going to play more than Vogel is saying. At least in the first 15-20 games. He is the perfect player coach for the second unit. Nunn is more of a scorer than true point guard. I think he plays better with Rondo directing the show and he can get up shots.

 

And he’s continued his improved 3pt shooting with the Lakers that he delivered in the bubble. Still a high quality PG just in the skills and physical sense and then the coach on the floor as you say whenever he’s out there. He’ll encourage Reaves with his skills and ball control and change of pace and shooting to play like he would play …. aggressively with those great tools.

 

Is it just me or he looks so much better than when he first came here lol or it just may be that WB sucked donkey a** today

 

No you’re right he has been better ever since he came back from his injuries in time to play a big part in us winning the ring in the bubble, than he did in year one. He was reckless a lot more then than since with too many passes having too much mustard on them for turnovers.

 

Seems so poised more than ever

 

He knows with the line up we have this year he can't coast and play...lol minutes have to be earned this trip.

 

Oh Rondo, how we've missed you last season

 

We just need Rondo for the playoffs, he can sit out the regular season

 

who'd have guessed he'd be better than schroder?

 

His ability as a floor general and elite passer out there at this stage is pretty amazing. I thought he'd get shelved with all our guards, but I'm not sure if you can DNP someone who organizes the offense like that. I guess it will depend on just how much we're going to play Bron and Russ. If one will be on the floor at all times, you don't need Rondo in. But if they're not staggered for 48 or one sits for a game, I think Rondo has to play. He's just light years ahead of Nunn, THT, and Monk as a ball handling guard.

 

it's looking like injuries will probably sort out some of our rotation crunch, but yeah, rondo's made a very strong case in the preseason that he might be an every-game player.
