I say they get a sleeve for Big Baby, if they can find one to fit him.  Just think of how good he would be if he never missed another jumpshot.

True this.  Find the xxxxl sleeves for Davis.

Rondo wears his headband upside down becuase he did it by accident and had a good game, i think that we'll be seeing the confident sleeved Rondo for quite a while.

another interesting fact: 25 points is RR's career college high, so this is the most points he's scored since high school. i think he's taking it to the next level, and i wanna see super aggressive Rondo everynight while KG is gone.

there was this one game last year he wore his handband rightside up again, and he had a terrible, just terrible game. therefore... i think it'll be upside down for thr rest of his career.

That's not really true, since he scored 26 earlier this year, but I see your point.  But we should expect more of this from Rondo while KG is out.  He averaged 16 ppg during the 9 game stretch that KG was out last year.  I think when he's of the mindset that he needs to be a bigger factor scoring, he can be scary good.

contrary to popular belief, the sleeve is NOT magic-based.  Sorry to burst everyone's collective bubble.  In pointed fact, there is no voodoo, enchantment, sorcery, or witchcraft involved.  Such tripe nonsense and mindless drivel undermine the science behind WHY the sleeve is effective.  

In reality, the sleeve is lined with several million microscopic nanobots that use a complex algorithm to adjust and stabilize the arm's motion during shooting thus increasing the efficiency and success of a player's attempts.  This however only partially resolves the various complications of shooting form and can not fully account for a player's legs/knees or wrist/fingers.  Clearly Rondo's main issue are his massively oversized paws, but until the NBA allows nanobot-infused gloves or lifts the ban on biomechanical stockings (as worn by LeBron in the picture posted earlier in this thread),  Rondo may still struggle with his jump shot.

Frankly all this "magic" poppycock just continues to perpetuate the seeds of ignorance.  Going through the rigmarole of harvesting this imbecility is the same reason why folks continue to say Rondo's upside-down headband is merely for petty superstitious "good luck" instead of noting the practicality of the headband preventing the A.I. chip in Rondo's frontal lobe from receiving water damage.... or the fact that said A.I. chip was accidentally installed upside-down (thus forcing Rondo to wear the headband upside-down)... Get your facts straight, folks...

Rondo gets up and plays good against all the "best" point guards in the league, ESPN was putting Chauncey in the top 5 for MVP voting... so Rondo should have a triple double. esspecially with that magic sleeve and no KG clogging the lane.

Ok I'm not making this up did anyone notice that in the first quarter the sleeve Rondo was wearing was BLACK.  I thought at first ok he must change during a timeout but magically he bumps into someone on a play and it turned white all of a sudden.  So I dunno if ABC just had a weird thing with their feed today but I've never seen that before.  Was I the only one who caught this??


nah i noticed it too, and Eddie House took his off after a little while.Rondos seemed like it was torn at the top also.

The sleeve is so lame these days. Allen Iverson started this trend just like he started the cornrows. Can't players think for themselves anymore?
