Mavs (28-10) at Celtics (11-18) Game #30 1/2/15

[KeepRondo]

Let's call it how it is. Stevens couldn't coach up Rondo because he didn't know how.

So tired of this Mr nice.

I see this the exact opposite way. Rondo never even gave it a try.

I never saw Stevens talking to the captain during the game. Maybe he was intimidated.

Chandler Parsons getting star calls is the saddest thing tonight...

I don't like Sully playing so many minutes, he's probably our most talented guy, or at least top 3, but he's looking half-hearted out there, maybe he's not at the best shape and it's all about fatigue... I'd really start Smart/Bradley/Turner/Green/Zeller, our PFs are looking really bad right now.

Hope DA gets some kind of roster out of this collection of assets.

Go Celtics...!

He scored the 44th point

Smart has such terrific hands.

[sofutomygaha]

nice take by Green! Wow!

[Who]

Amazing hands by Smart to knock that away from Monta. Would've gotten the steal too if Rondo didn't bail out Ellis.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Rajon is really sticking it into Danny isnt he?

Would've been nice if he could've done this for us.... Naw, slacking on D and only deciding to play once every couple of games was good enough for him.

He did play this way for us. A lot. Ask D Wade and D Rose and Lebron and Kobe

Well, I can't excuse the lack of extra effort when we are a losing team, but when it mattered, he did play like this if not close.

Yeah, I feel like he hasnt been National TV Rondo with us this season, but I certainly disagree that he was slacking off. You cant average double digit assists by slacking off, could have been better if he stepped on that extra gear, but I believe that being dangled in the trade rumors kind of got him disinterested.

I agree, I said that on another post.....LOL..some got ruffled over it....LOL...even at half speed, if it was...he played better and harder, and more effective than most...

Haha good one. I'm seriously wanting to know what Rondo you guys were watching that you think he played harder than most.

The guy who led the league in assists at the time he was here and led all guards in rebounds.

Oh, you must mean the guy who consistently let his guy drive past him, didn't fight through screens, and didn't give a crap about D in Boston. That guy? 

He wasn't playing like this when he was here. Not since 2012 playoffs anyways.

Uhm, gee wiz Mr Rondo, you are only getting triple doubles all the time....don't you think you could do MORE....and then more, and then more.....even though we don't ask hardly anything from anyone else yet we call it STANDARDS.....it means only what we want it to when we say so.....LOL...

So since I missed the first half... some explain to me how Rondo went 7-9 shooting with 4/4 from threes?  Did we just leave him wide open?

Nope, Rondo's working.

Wait until Dirk gets going, lol.

Dirk torched us even during the Big Three days...I hope I'm wrong this time, though.

Law of averages is going to catch up to Rondo here.  No way does he continue shooting 38% from three for the Mavs.  That would be THE biggest shocker of the season.

He's an elite NBA player, not really too difficult to figure out how he is having a great game.

It really shouldn't need an explanation.

Career 25% on 3's, landing 0.2/game.

[KeepRondo]

Bradley has really regressed. It's getting pretty bad for him.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

Why the hell do they keep switching on Dirk?

Lucky that it ended up a turnover but by Lord, why???

It would make the Jason Kidd comparisons fairly eerie, though, wouldn't it?

[celtics24]

why tf is bradley takin contested fade away long 2s? 

[Chief]

Danny please upgrade Bradley.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

funny how some he have omitted the most important part of a players playing..THE COACH......why do you think Bradley gets the green light to shoot 6 for 20.......a LOT....because the coach sets those plays for the guy he wants to turn into a 2-guard.....and zeller, who he never runs a shooting play, even though zeller can shoot very well...and makes a high % of his free throws.....it is what the coach tells you to do / be......THINK people....this isn't your game of pickup....!
