KO was in...therefore the starters were not in, lol

If we blow this one I'm spending all night on NBA DraftNet and simulating the lottery on Tankathon.com

Well, Brad, maybe if you didn't take your best player out 6 minutes into the half we wouldn't be in this position right now.

Ding!  We have a winner!

Mike

It's freaking mind-blowing.

I assume he is doing this so he can play Rondo most of the 4th

The Hawks were already starting to cut into the lead and Stevens takes Rondo out line he's not even paying attention to the game.  He got Rondo back in there but good grief!

Mike

Rondo can't play the entire game, you have to rest him at some point.

It is entirely normal for the best players on a team to play 38 or 40 minutes on occasion.

Rondo 4Q time...

Who was Kelly guarding that time?  Sheesh

[bostonsportsforlife]

This team is a first half team that cannot close out games. End of story.

Thornton is a boss

[CelticSooner]

C's were hot and Hawks cold to start the game. Until they can actually play some defense they'll never be able to finish out any of these games.

[jpotter33]

I know the 4th quarter break down is inevitably coming every time, but I'm never prepared for it.

Who is the last PG to rebound better than 7 per game?   Was it Magic?   

Has there ever been a 6'1" PG with 7 RPG?

14 assists in a half is awesome, but his rebounding amazes me.    And his FT shooting astounds me.

Selfish, hot dog rebounds.

Not sure if serious

BUT I will say that I think a lot of the rebounds he gets could be had by the bigs. He could be streaking down the court instead of stealing boards like bron.

I'd like to see Sully's rebound numbers without rondo.

P.S. I really DO love rondo

he wasn't serious, he was poking fun of another poster...

Ah, ok

TP

Haha, thanks for letting me know without making me look like fool

Yeah it was just a goof. You should know that when I read your posts, I actually picture it as Bill Walton talking. Same goes for Roy and Gene Hackman. And I'm serious!

Haha, I should start writing like him

"Rajon Rondo is one of the most brilliant Point guards I've ever seen. He reminds me of jerry garcia running the grateful dead"

How's that? Haha

That's solid right there! Here's a way too long account of classic Waltonisms.
