 >:( Disgusting, most frustrating celtics player i've ever watched. he fails to get into the offense before 16 seconds almost every time, can't hit a layup on the fast break, drive to an open basket/ easy foul only to kick it out too..... Wally sitting on the Cav's bench.

as i said in another thread, he may be the future of the team but we're not living in the future we're living in the present. and right now he sucks.

he needs to finish stronger...i really love the kid, but he is very frustrating.

imagine if he could finish around the rim like DJ...

when larry stole that pass he would have never thrown the ball if rondo was the one streaking to the rim... :D

Take about frustrating is his shot. The man can't even make 2FT in a row. Hire a coach or get some help from ray. Its hard to play 4v5 when our point guard can't help cause he can't shoot. His the reason why we won 19straight & he is partially the reason why we lost 7 of 9 games.

I can't even talk about him right now.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

The good news is that Rondo shot the same from the free throw line tonight as Big Ben -- 50 percent --  :o

Yeah, 5-4-13-4 and 2 TO is horrible, and he's already 22, so I don't think he'll ever amount to much---I mean he's almost halfway thru his second year starting and he's only got one championship to show for it! What a POS!
Time to go with youth! ::)

I'm so sick and tired of everyone blaming everything on rondo.  I mean nobody has talked about during these last few games about anybody else really.  What about KG lately or Ray Allen's shooting or how about PP tonight.  Pierce was 4-15 shooting, 5 TO's, and he was -19, but all you hear was that rondo cant shoot and was 50% from ft line and that he had a -17.  Its getting old.  Everyone wants to blame somebody and rondo is who most of you all have chosen to blame.  Maybe sometimes the TEAM just loses.  Honestly besides a few games with PP scoring who has played consistently good in the last couple weeks.  Give the kid a break.

Statistically, Rondo is actually a very good finsisher. He missed a layup tonight, but that was the first bunny he's missed in a long time. Tonight, he wasn't horrible, but he didn't do a good job of setting the tempo either. He's young, he's inconsistent, he's better at home, we all know these things.

I will say that he's definitely not the most frustrating Cs player to watch. When he's on, Rondo is one of the most entertaining to watch in the NBA.

You need the ball in your hands to set the tempo and that's what he was doing at the end of the second and the beginning of the 3rd then the Cs went on a streak of missed lay ups & unsuccessful fast breaks and the ball went into the hands of Pierce & Allen who couldn't do much with it.

If the team is not going give the ball to Rondo he should probably be on the bench, because he's a detriment (offensively) otherwise.
