I think a slap in the back of the head by KG, or maybe a quick "yell in his ear and make him cry" session would suffice.

Delonte should be in street clothes all year. I dont think he should crack our rotation at all.

Did Delonte ride that motorcycle with one of your guns, or something?  ::)

I'm one of the Delonte Homer's on the board but this shouldn't even be a discussion.  However, should we limit Rondo's minutes for resting purposes, yes! 

Delonte, if healthy, will allow Rondo to play less in preparation of playing MORE during the playoffs.  In addition, if Rondo is injured, it allows the Cs to still compete for a championship.

Delonte clearly showed tonight, and will continue to show, why he should be starting for this basketball team.

Delonte West is a stud and a starting caliber point guard.

Rondo is playing hurt and poorly.

West should start until Rondo can get back to 100%.

Why are people saying he is hurt when Doc has repeatedly said, "Rondo is not hurt."

Because Rondo himself and his teammates has said he is hurt.

Feet/Ankle/Hamstring

All are issues he has had this season, makes perfect sense that a combination of these has popped up again.

Nice problem to have. Rondo still in his post-Perk slump, but Delonte looks great. Actually, Rondo shot pretty well. He just needs to attack the basket. Doc should tell him to get 10 free throws again, that seemed to get him going.

Because plantar fasciitis doesn't go away over night?

It amazes me that after 4 years people can't tell the difference between a 100% Rondo and one that is hurt/tired.

Bingo!

It's not going to go away. It's caught up to him, and has probably been compounded by dealing with whatever ankle, hamstring or other bumps and bruises that he's dealing with. 

Maybe Doc will let him rest once we secure home court advantage in the east.

Ultimately Rhondo is the starter , but he needs a HUGE break to recover from what ever nagging injurys he as sustained and get a motivational experience watching from the bench .

So, for the next 3-4 games Rhondo needs to sit as much as possible .

He is so Frustrating ......he reminds me of a woman

He needs to get his mind right.as well as his body.
and be ready to take over in the play offs

PERKs GONE time to get over it.

Not going to disagree with you, but there's really no telling on when Rondo is playing hurt or not based on how he's playing because of his inconsistencies, even when healthy.

The last couple of games, I've seen Rondo full of energy, with good pace, pushing the ball. Yet, I've seen him not run the offense effectively. I question blaming that aspect on him being hurt if he's capable of running the floor as he has.

His shooting problems, well yeah that would be affected, but I don't see how it would factor in his poor decision making I've witnessed, and overall poor passing through quite a few stretches. I just can't blame that on him being hurt.
