Good for the Mavs to back up Carlisle. Rondo's baggage doesn't match his game anymore.
He's had issues with everyone. From his HS coach who suspended him for 12 games, with Tubby Smith at Kentucky, with Doc, with Stevens (birthday party incident), with refs, with a cameraman, with Heat sideline reporter Jason Jackson, and now with Carlisle.
Glad you've been keeping score.
You've got more dirt on Rondo than the FBI......
It's no secret, his apologists just like to keep their eyes tightly closed and pretend he's a boy scout.
Or, perhaps his apologists just tend to remember the Good Times he had in BOS, along with Ray, Perk, KG and PP.....you know, "The Starting Five that never lost a Series".
Boy those were good times.........right?
So he gets carte blanche? Awesome stuff.
Well, as a fan that's what I do.
I'm certainly not going to share with my sons or my friends or co-workers the "bad" times, lol.....I don't think many fans do.
Only the ones with a personal agenda or bent towards a player or players will remember the miniscule dirt on the players they watch.
So you turn a blind eye to all his incidents? When do the free passes stop?
As a fan, I don't track the bad stuff, eddie20...I personally think it's creepy to do so - especially when that is all that some fans tend to do.
Of course I keep it all in mind, but oftentimes where you focus on is where your mind remains.
For me, there are just too many good times that Rajon Rondo had here in BOS for me to focus on the negative stuff...way too many.
Our 17th Banner came at the expense of the Los Angeles Lakers - our bitter rivals - and Rajon Rondo was indeed a part of it - remember?
Our team - with Rajon Rondo in tow - was the one that upset CLE and send LeBron James packing to MIA - with Rajon Rondo having a HUGE series.
For me, I don't summarily dismiss the good times because of Rajon's bouts with his coaches. He is a load to manage and perhaps could handle things better.
But I sympathize with him and won't ever throw him under the bus.
Oftentimes, there are things we don't see that are the root cause for things happening. With Rajon Rondo, unfortunately - all some see is the bad.
