I can't believe Rondo is becoming the scapegoat for Ray leaving. Did I mention I had the runs this morning? Rondo must of messed with my breakfast.

I had heard Ray and Rondo didn't get along as far back as 2008.  Ray tried to be a mentor to Rondo and Rondo stubbornly refused to listen.  It's probably why Rondo never learned how to shoot. 

It's undeniable... Rondo has been a difficult guy to get along with in the past.  It's been confirmed by practically everyone.  He's got some attitude problems.  I don't know if that means he should be fully blamed for Ray leaving, though... Boston sort of drove Ray out of town.  We tried to trade him several times, we benched him for Avery Bradley (who is still completely unproven)... we went out and gave Jason Terry the full MLE when our dire need is size (effectively making Ray's role even smaller).  It can all be perceived as a spit in the face... I'm sure Pat Riley was excellent in manipulating Ray based on these facts.

We will miss that consistent shooting and Rondo will miss those easy assists.  Sad day for the Celtics

  Maybe it was Rondo trying to teach Ray how to pass and handle the ball better, and Ray refused to listen. That would explain a lot as well...

Avery Bradley is comletely unproven? h\He played th best defense in the nba for 2 months and even scored in the 20's when the big 3 werent playing. You are incorrect bud.

the only fanbase that can watch one of the key players in the past 5 years of the franchise sign with the most despicable team in the league and then find a way to blame it on our incredible point guard who is fiercely loyal to this team.
Totally agree. Ray could have gone to any othear team, but not to Miami: he chhose the easiest path to a championship and showed no respect at all for the celtics fans.

Rondo didn't miss him when he was going for 10+ assist a game when Bradley was starting while Ray sat.

Overblown. Not everyone has to be best buds in a locker room. And we never saw evidence of it on the court.

We tend to forget that a lot. He could have bolted for a bigger contract.

BUT CERTAINLY DERON WILLIAMS IS BETTER

I saw it. Numerous times Rondo would call for the ball and Ray would just ignore him.
