I know the starters have been playing somewhat uninspired, but I think about PP/Ray/KG and I just can't imagine he's referring to any of them.  MAYBE BBD because of those awful shots he throws up at times, but to put this loss on him is a stretch.

It comes down to Rondo.  Him walking the ball up the court, lazily getting into the offense.  You heard Tommy talking about it all night tonight.  I can see Rondo still holding a grudge for them trading Perk, and I remember a few weeks ago Doc saying that they consulted with some of the players about the trade.  What if the Big 3 were included and not Rondo?

Rondo is just showing you/them how pathetic this team is without him playing well. You shouldn't p--- off your most important young player who they signed long term.

Theres a reason this guy was the #21 pick and was cut from Team USA.

Rondo is a Cancer and has a terrible attitude, he also is a poor offensive player and is overrated.

If this franchise wants to go anywhere they need to try to trade Rondo as soon as they can.

Does Rondo for Brooks/Gortat work?

The Celtics need to start West. It's the only way to save the season. And, yes, I do believe there's a good chance Doc was talking about Rondo.

Yea trade the best player on the team with no youth...

That makes sense....

He hurt his ankle again tonight and he will likely miss Sunday's game, so this isn't going to happen.

Rondo for Nash should have be done at the deadline.

Rondo is nowhere near the best player on this team.

Perkins was better, and Green is better.

So very true, Celtics/Run! Rhondo, we have to remember, is still really young and it wouldn't surprise me if him now having to learn the ways of this hard world is wearing on him.
I'm old and it still wears on me.

This coming from a guy who complains about Rondo's defense....

Think about the future for a second and realize winning with Rondo should of happened twice already.

At this point, I'm about ready to say Gerald Green is better!

Hate to say it, but Danny took way too many gambles with injury prone players in building our bench.

Shaq, Delonte, JO, Marquis . . . these are all players we hoped to lean on heavily this year and all of them had histories of lingering injury issues.

Nash's defense isn't that much of a downgrade compared to the way Rondo is playing. And the offensive comparison...well there is none.
