I am glad SOMEONE on the team is standing up and having questions. I don't care how young rondo is he is a LEADER. Rajon is doing a good job of publicly calling out his teammate(s) without naming them. I assume anyone associated with the team knows exactly who he is referring to but the public doesn't get to know that rondo is miffed at mr. (fill in blank)
I'm guessing its rasheed, eddie and davis , one or all
Completely against ubuntu but, that was 2 years ago mang.. amiright?
It's not against ubuntu. Ubuntu is about working as one cohesive unit, which that team had down to a science.
It doesn't follow that unbuntu advocate turning a blind eye to players not doing that and pretending there conduct doesn't exist as a form of self deception.
Who are the players?
I don't know, rondo, paul and ray didn't throw anyone under the bus.
But if you wanted my admittedly uninformed opinion of who don't give 100% or play as part of the team concept (particularly on defense) every night for the good of the team that they might be hinting at, it goes:
Sheed, by far
Eddie
Baby
Baby draws more offensive fouls than anyone on the team. And if Rondo thinks ( I don't think he does ) that bench is too blame for the struggles I have to question his intelligence. He never ' elaborated ' (Rondo's term) which is my problem with his comments.
We're going to have to disagree, because i know your a huge baby fan and thus won't want to hear or accept the following assessment.
but to me, davis has been on a diffrent agenda since the summer.
Davis has been very outspoken that he doesn't think the team treats him fairly, given his play when KG went down. He has been unable to control his immaturity and put the team first, as evidenced by breaking his hand in a drunken fight at 4 in the morning like a teenager, and getting into a altercation with a courtside fan, risking suspension.
He also comes to play some nights, but others seems disinterested in anything other than getting his shot up (just like sheed)
In my mind, baby is showing all the signs of a player who is playing for stats and a contract, not doing the little things that good teams need out of thier bench.
also, So your problem is he didn't throw a specific teammate under the bus? IMO that would have been a terrible idea, and would have shown a complete lack of a grasp on the situation.
Calling specific players out for things that you just want them to be aware of is what shows a leaders lack of intelligence. When is the last time you heard, as a example, tom Brady throw someone under the bus?
He does however, make statements like:
"I think that's the most important thing: being mentally tough to overcome adversity. When things don't go your way, you have to fight back. That's a challenge for all of us. I think at times we do, and at times I don't think we fight very hard.
Notice how he puts the team on notice that he's aware that they don't give 100% effort, disproves, but avoids creating animosity by calling out one or two playerS?
This was the exact same thing.
Done this way, it's a subtle reminder to guys in the locker room, by 3 of the starters, of what they should be playing for, and that they need to get on board.
speaking of three starters, Do you have the same problem with paul and ray, who made EXACTLY the same sort of comments in the article?
IF they had specifically called one player out, they would have been seen as putting a spotlight on that player, and made a huge issue out of something they are trying to check but NOT make a huge issue of.
