I'm shocked there's anything to debate about here. The quote is discouraging, plain and simple.
Because some Rondo fans must be his relatives . There are no other answers
Rondo in a nutshell the past season "I played no defense, let AB, Smart do the dirty work, made KO , Sully look bad".
Then after the game those guys are behind him and state "we" have to play better as a team.
Rondo you were lucky you had such great teammates. When Rondo is introduced tonight, i will stand up and clap for the guys that did your dirty work instead
