did Rondo quit tonght?

[Draje]

Rondo can easily drive and kick like he did with the Celtics...especially because Houston has a bunch of shooters. He would actually set up the Rockets' shooters in perfect positions for them to shoot/score.

This muddafukka has no understanding of basketball. Teams are gonna sag off Rondo making it much harder for him to penetrate and even if he does get the middle, teams are just block off most of the passing angles to any 3 point shooter and let Rondo try to finish around the rim because he's fukkin awful at it.

There's no need to collapse the defense when the slasher is a non-threat.

Ellis can penetrate and dish because he's respected offensively.

Lmao

Tell me why Rondo's highest offensive win shares EVER is much worse than CP3's worst offensive season ever.

Rondo is literally AWFUL on offense. People don't understand how bad a scorer this dude is.

Harden already does that. AND you don't even have to guard Rondo on the perimeter. The good teams would just sag off of him and dare him to shoot.

Whats with these guys and their obsession on how Hou should get a "real PG" The reason Hou is so successful is because Harden is so deadly off the iso dribble/attacking that defenses have to help. And his vision/passing is better then the majority of PG's. Dudes really want Rondo pounding the ball half the shot clock with his man sunk deep of him ready to help on Harden(whos not a good off ball player) daring him to shoot his broke ass jumper?

For dudes who hate Rondo, y'all talk about him A LOT. The people who hate/dislike dude are the ones making threads about him and bringing up randomly in non-related threads.

Y'all have an obsession with hating this dude. It's probably some low-key confused admiration.

Or maybe y'all don't know basketball nearly as well as y'all think you do.

At the end of the day, dude is leaving Dallas and will get paid this offseason (probably by the Lakers). That team will have their own all-star trio and will compete for the title. Meanwhile, y'all will be Coli "analysts" who are victims of the moment and lack foresight and perspective.

 

[William F. Russell]

Let Rondo call plays.

2010 - 18th best offense
2011 - 27th ranked offense
2012 - 24th ranked offense

LMAO Dallas was the best offense in the league before Rondo came around.

Teams constantly disrespect Rondo and give him a cushion so big that he might as well be Ben Wallace lmao.

You're bringing up defensive stats but realizing that ALL OF Rondo's offensive stats are subpar. ALL OF THEM.

Yet the Cs still made the playoffs (and progressed deeply) in each of those years largely because of Rondo.

After a certain point, metrics are pointless.

 

[William F. Russell]

Naw. Because Rondo is not a threat, defenders won't collapse on the paint and stay on their man. Thats whats happening in Dallas right now. Rondo is a bum. He offers no positives at this stage of his career

You act like Rondo can't make layups.

In transition sure. But hes not scoring at the basket against good rim protection like the Rockets. And his lack of a jumper/poor FT shooting doesn't help

Are rockets fans really saying Morey didn't want Rondo? Dude was pushing so hard for him, the only reason that trade didn't happen was because Pat Bev has the same agent as Rondo and they didn't want to mess that up. Morey has been chasing Rondo for 2 years now. I don't think he wants him anymore but he definitely wanted him before.

Carlisle is ruining this dude, if I was Rondo I wouldn't play either. Did you guys hear Shaq and Kenny talking about it?

8 second call Chuck was talking shyt about... yet you see Rondo and 6 of them seconds hes looking at Carlisle for a damn play call??? Let the man call some of his own plays, hes your PG... Carlisle needs to put on shorts and get out there. How you going to call 100% of the offensive calls to your PG?

When they get bounced (soon) Carlisle will be in hot water how he treated Rondo and all of the play calling, Rondo will be somewhere else and gets more freedom and play fine. You cant expect your creative PG to be productive if you need to call every single offensive play. Even Kenny was saying he called 75% of the plays on the court...

That's a good point. He was definitely waiting on a call.

Rondo out for the playoffs

He can drive even in half-court sets. And if dude gets his way on offense, the team would be a fast-break team.

THANK YOU!

It's like logic and knowledge is foreign to some of these dudes.

Even if Morey wanted Rondo or pursued him doesn't mean he'd thrive with the Rockets. GM's/Owners make mistakes sometimes like Cuban bringing Rondo to the Mavs. All I have stated is I'm glad the trade for Rondo coming to Houston wasn't made.

I'm sure Kevin McHale would be smart enough to adjust his system and allow Rondo to call the plays...
