It has everything to do with the game! It's called psychological warfare, and he learned it from the best of the best (KG).

Get in your opponents' heads, and the game is half won. We won the game, so what's the gripe? If you don't like it, no one's making you watch it.

Where Rondo was foolish IMO was not passing out to Pierce on for the three with under a minute left when he took the jumper.

The way Pierce's offense has looked lately, I'd almost rather have Rondo taking a jumper anyways...

The problem was that since the foul was by the Heats bench it allowed them a chance to go over strategy, while Celtic players had to watch and wait to see what the refs, who were also huddling, ruled as far as the play call. This was allowing the Heat to have an unfair advantage and I applaud Rondo for disrupting it. It wasn't "antics", it was actually a very heady play.

Today's Game vs the Heat.

In the 3rd quarter, Rondo is trying to look into the Heat huddle. This is an important game and not the all-star game where stupid antics like this might happen.

What was the point of this? To get in their heads? It was totally childish and it looked like Ray Allen went over to him to tell Rondo to knock it off.

This is the kind of stuff that I would hate if an opposing player did it the Celtics.

Do it on the court and not in stupid antics like this.

Lol, I thought it was HYSTERICAL. As Mark Jackson pointed out, it wasn't a timeout and he was well within his rights to be over there.

Much ado about nothing.

This. It was not a timeout and Rondo had every right to be over there, because The Heat should not have been huddlilng. Great job, Rondo.

I agree.

Rondo's house, and funny as well.

I haven't enjoyed a game this much in quite some time.

Why criticize this minor detail - I was much more disappointed by the missed follow where he could have worked more clock, and the terrible possession that turned into the missed jumper yo give them a chance at the end

Rondo blows off steam in various ways. This is just a new one. Clever and funny watching the elbows fly out at him but he stood his ground. I heard Doc calling him, it was so fun.

If I am not mistaken, this occured around the time the game was getting chippy. And I agree with all those saying it was gamesmanship. It wasnt rondo just being silly. Rondo was sending them a message. I ain't going nowhere.

Rondo dominated the second half....even gaurding lebron. At one point even snarls at lebron as if to say "not today"....i think he was in brons head....even at that moment and it worked. Rondo is a Beast and I cant wait to see him with a healthy group come June.

give be a break.

whatever rondo did, it wasn't worse than:

Running off the court and not shaking hands after yet another playoff fail.

Most of us have seen the "towel boy incident"

An "all about me because im bigger than life" tv special to tell the world where im going to play.

Whate rage did was funny and in no way, unclassy. JFG is just a moron and is bitter because he knows his bro is going to get punked again in the playoffs

  Rumor has it, when Rondo was leaving that huddle, that he told LeBron that he was taking his talents to the other end of the court.

Definite TP.

I thought it was hilarious.  I honestly think he was mostly just trying to be funny.  Rondo has got a great, deadpan sense of humor even though he doesn't often show it.

If I were a Heat fan I probably would think it's a punk move, I mean if LeBron did it we would all be freaking out, but because it's Rondo it just seems funny.

How can somebody fault Rondo for trying to break up and illegal huddle. There was no timeout!

I'm just happy that there's mostly negative responses to this annoying post.
