    Honestly, just replace his minutes with Quinn Cook when Rondo is sucking. It's not brain surgery. Especially if Rondo is so hesitant to shoot. Cook at least brings some offense.

    The Rondo problem will probably never be adressed because of locker room politics .

    He will keep playing because he's the only ball handler we have after Lebron , problem is he's a liability against the good teams and shouldn't play against the elite ones .

    I'm still hoping for a season ending injury , it will force our FO to explore better options .

    I know it's something I shouldn't wish but it's the only way he won't cost us a title

    STOP with the wishing injuries on our own players or any player in general. Wish they get benched or lose their sense of direction and can’t find their way to Staples Center, anything but injury. You never know what kind of bad luck that kind of thing can cause to happen.

    I'm with Cookie. I can't get with wishing injuries on our guys to solve PT management issues. When Rondo was out before we really missed his playmaking immensely. I just hope going forward that we don't waste a guy like Quinn Cook's talent. When we need scoring from the guard position he can do that. He should have gotten some burn last game IMO. Pretty much my only beef so far with Vogel.

    "We need a guy to do what Rondo does, but does a better job of it.. " - LFR

    I'm done with him. I hope Vogel has a brain and curtails his mins

    Take it for what it's worth .... but my neighbor's gardener's sister knows a close friend of Mr. Rambis and told the gardener who told me that Cook told Vogel to go eff himself after he hit all those 3s and scored 17 in that one game and had his minutes go down steadily after that. So now Vogel's pissed at him.

    Thoughts on a trade for Dj Augustin?

    I wonder what the locker room would be with DJ taking Rondo's role.

    AD is the cause of this too, he loves Rondo for some reasob

    They have chemistry from New Orleans. Still, I'd like to see some more of that chemistry demonstrated on the court this season!

    I would love for them to give Darren Collison a call: he'd be a significant upgrade and he'll have cred with the vets

    I think he'll have a good game tonight.

    And I hate saying that; since Bron is out, they need to stagger him next to Green a little more if you can; he's also been good next to Caruso. Just no Bradley, please.

    These are the games he needs to earn his paycheck.

    And hit your shots, please.

    How about your family doing one of these to motivate him?

    Do the Lakers like playing 4 on 5 on offense because that’s what they are doing

    I’m not sure what Vogel is seeing here because he kills the spacing when you have both Lebron and AD in there. Just don’t get it

    Another bad game and I can only hope Vogel will figure it out.

    Well, I'm convinced they know more about basketball then I do, so... sure? The question is - how long does it take?
