While I don't agree with Carlise benching him and letting Barea play for 30+mins, it doesn't change the fact that Rondo is a complete cancer. I don't see why any team would pay him money.

He's gonna get paid very well this offseason.

Any sensible GM understands that the Mavs have been misusing him all season.

How you quit on your team in the PLAYOFFS. Even if I couldn't stand my coach I'm still gonna try and make it work for the sake of my legacy, my teammates, and my competitive spirit.


He quit tonight. But I don't think he has anything left anyway.

Hope he proves me wrong tho. He was one of the most unique players in the game in 2010-12

What was unique about his game? He was a poor man's Kidd during those years

I think he quit when he got pulled after the 4th foul. He was playin like an idiot earlier but he at least came out and tried to fukk with harden with the shyt talking and bows. I think Harden had a couple turnovers right after actually..but once he got pulled (who knows what happened in huddles or at halftime) and he sat down on the side that was it. I told my friend that I was surprised he even came in the game at all in the 2nd half..seemed like Carlisle was through with him. Then after the game, TNT panned to him in the locker room and he was dressed, said nothing and walked out past all his teammates without saying shyt to them either and with most of them still in game clothes. He might not even be with the team the rest of the way.

Misusing him? Hes trash breh. Way too ball dominant for a guard who can't shoot a lick. He creates spacing issues and guys like Ellis and Parsons suffer. Plus hes horrible attitude doesn't help. Any GM offering max money is a fool.

I gotta agree with a point that Shaq made though..as bad as Rondo was today..the game was close throughout until the 4th quarter dunk fest...Rondo is gonna get scapegoated for this performance and while he didnt contribute..it wasnt his fault that the Mavs were confused and terrible on defense, Dirk was off and Parsons wasnt playing. It was a one point game then all of a sudden it was a layup line. Aminu was the really the only Mav that showed out today and he shouldve given Villanueva some more minutes. Carlisle was trotting out a Barea/Felton/Monta line-up with Dirk and Chandler I believe. Thats unacceptable and I feel bad for Chandler to be honest because that is an awful defensive lineup and he got postered (although I think Amare may have been in during that play). I don't care how terrible Rondo is/was, Felton sure as hell isn't an upgrade because he really can't do anything well at all. With Harris out..I dont care how stubborn you are..you cannot play Felton with Barea and Monta and expect anything remotely positive to happen.
