That Rondo Thread

[Hemingway]

I don't think you understand what the word hate means.

ok, fine. How about negativity or pessimism? Are those words better to describe your outlook as expressed on this forum? didn't you call me a moron 5 minutes ago?

I called you a moron because you don't understand what I said. I'd say that's fair grounds for being called a moron -- disagreeing with what is, at this point, fact. You may not agree. Apologies if I offended. Probably too rude -- will try to be nicer in the future, and I mean that honestly.

way to go dos. you're a class act!

[D.o.s.]

Almost certainly a deserved response. Apologies again if I came across as rude.

I still think he can be a top 5 player. I'm going to keep this thread alive even if no one else does. Lets make thi the thread to root Rondo on in Sac. I really like Crowder too, but my love for Rondo will never die and my love for the Celtics is never in question.

Whenever, come back Rondo and lead us to more championships!

Wait, did you just say top 5 PLAYER?

could someone ask the OP to change the thread title to "everybody hates each other"? that would fit better with the tone of the posts being put up here. 

guys, please be more civil and respectful. following up the disrepect of one poster with more disrepect does nothing to gain anyone credibility or improve cb.

thanks.

Fun fact about the Perkins deal that no one ever mentions: the Celtics also got an unprotected Clippers pick. At the time, the Clippers were coming off another lottery season (32-50, 8th-worst in the NBA) with no first-rounder (because they traded it to dump Baron Davis' salary), even with a healthy Blake Griffin shaking up the league as a rookie. The funny thing is that the pick the Clippers traded became Kyrie Irving for the Cavaliers.

So with a mediocre roster led by an injury-prone player and mediocre coach (Vinny Del Negro) in the Western Conference with no significant talent influx from the draft, the Clippers' pick looked set for the high lottery. It's arguable that the Clippers pick that Danny traded for was, at the time, more valuable than the Nets picks now. But then David Stern nixed the Lakers' deal for Chris Paul, eventually trading him to the Clippers. The rest is history.

I'll back it up a bit, in that I mean he was a top 5 player at times. There were games, where for that moment or that day, Rondo was the best player on the planet. Think back to Rondo vs LBJ. Ok, if you were drafting every player in the league to new teams, I don't think Rondo would have ever gone top 5, but there were times when he just stepped it up to an unreal level and I think we haven't seen the last of them. But, I think it's fair to say, I value pass first point guard play a tab bit more than others on here

If you made a top 5 list of player at the prime moment or prime game for the last decade or so I think Rondo makes it for those Cav's series and the bulls one with all the OTs.

There is some level of tong and cheek to my posts. But I do think Rondo was great and still is, just has had some bad circumstances.

He was but that was YEARS ago & pre-injury.

Not sure we'll ever seen that guy again.

After his 6th year I hated Rondo's nondeveloping game and his poor attitude. I wanted him gone then. But I also wanted Ray Allen gone right after the championship to sell high. I'm definitely a sell high kind of guy.

I'm not sure either, but if we do, it will not be in green.  I'm betting on Rondo.

The game 2 loss against Miami in the 2012 ECF might have been his best performance ever for an entire game. The game 7 against Philly before that was certainly epic too.

I'm not sure either but he is only 29 which should be his prime and hes 2 years removed from ACL. If we could trade for/sign 2 stars, he would be the perfect guy to bring in.
