Rondo got 5 years and $55 million!

For a dude that shoots like shit!

And people think we overpaid for BG.

Spoken like a Pistons exec.

One guy can do everything but shoot and one guy can do nothing but.

Rondo was putting triple doubles and near trip dubs when the games mattered most last year, so locking him up makes sense to me.

If he didn't have a 10 cent head, he could be really special.

He takes a lot of shit, justifiably so in some cases, but Ainge's drafts, trades and signings over the past 3-4 years are pretty impressive, imo. McHale gets some credit for that, but not all.

Also, the Celts probably thought that being part of the '10 free agent class would have helped Rondo get a bigger offer than this, especially if the top tier stars all stay put with their teams. Those 7+ teams that Stein wrote about last week with mucho cap room will probably spend some/all of it somehow, and a young, true point guard is a valuable commodity.

Dude, are you Rondo's agent or something?

No, but I watched him play in the playoffs last year and he's legit, IMO.

There also have been a lot of trade rumors about him, and maybe teams were telling the Celtics that they wouldn't pull the trigger because he wasn't locked up.

I like Rondo. Makes the occasional boneheaded play, but who doesn't.

New salary aside, is there anybody here that wouldn't trade Stuckey for Rondo?

Atti

The first 4 games of this year might have a little something to do with that extension, too. I knew he was playing well, but Jesus Christ. 56% from the floor and check out the dimes (and the assists, right Steph?) http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/4149/gamelog;_ylt=ApBWNcHsFywUL3H1fNgdAZ1nPaB4

LOL @ shooting % on 6.5 ppg.

Dude is interesting for sure, seems to have a high ceiling if surrounded with talent.

Yeah, I meant to put the emphasis on the dimes and not the shooting, but I didn't so lol.

Still, it shows that his shot selection is pretty good right now, IMO.

:hollinger:

5-55 for Rondo is good value because of the Joe Johson Rule: Basically, somebody was going to throw crazy money at him next summer.

CP3 vs. Rondo


After the game, Paul pursued Rondo toward the Celtics' locker room and had to be blocked by Boston assistant coaches.

"Rondo is a lucky guy, to play with guys like Pierce, [Ray] Allen and [Kevin] Garnett," Paul, who scored 22 points with eight assists, said with a sly smile.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=291101002

"Rajon has requested you not ask anything about Chris Paul now, tomorrow, or any other time," Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss said when Rondo limped out of the trainer's room favoring his right ankle.

Right.

Rondo would be pretty fucking mediocre with no KG, no Ray Allen and no Paul Pierce.

Dude needs to STFU and bow down to Chris Paul.

And Glenn - I wouldn't trade Stuckey for Rondo. Teams would double off RR onto Gordon or Rip and with our bigs the entire team would get a royal ass fucking nightly.

Rondo wouldn't be able to do shit for us but on the right team, with a ton of great talent he looks pretty good.

That don't mean he's good. It means he's lucky.

Shit, I'm sure old Grizz could look like a real NBA PG if he had KG, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce as team mates

You're nuts, no offense. I don't like it one bit, but the kid is an elite PG. Not saying that having that cast doesn't help him, but he doesn't get 55+ million because of his supporting cast. Over his last 15 or so games, playoffs and reg season, he's nearly averaging a triple double. You'd be crazy to not take that over Stuckey. Rondo would make Rip and Gordon so much better for us it's not even funny.

IMO.

What do you think we'll end up paying Stuckey?

The way he's going he (Stuckey) ain't gonna get close to that deal.

And Glenn, he might averaging close to a triple double but ask yourself how he would go on any other team.

Would he have the same production?

Or are his considerable weaknesses masked on that squad?

I personally think he's a little underiszed, isn't strong enough, can't shoot and mentally isn't to the level he should be by now. Given the squad he's on and the coach he's had I believe he should be a lot more "switched on" than he is.

Sorry I don't have numbers to support my opinion. It's only an opinion and like arseholes everyone has one.

"he's a little underiszed, isn't strong enough"

How does this hurt him? He's one of the 2-3 best rebounding guards in the league, and defends like a mofo.

I think that he can be abused in a post up situation.

Look, the kid is fucking great in Boston.

I'm looking at it and wonder what he could do elsewhere on a normal team.

The playoff numbers were compiled with what was a different team. Big Baby in place of KG? Oh, and while you are at it, how about you defend Derrick Rose on the other end? I would say that he passed that test.

Rondo told CP3, "I've got a ring, and you're never gonna get one".

Yahoo! NBA page has the story.

He loves when he gets to say that.

The playoff numbers were compiled with what was a different team. Big Baby in place of KG? Oh, and while you are at it, how about you defend Derrick Rose on the other end? I would say that he passed that test.

Different in that Glen Davis was in the KG spot but same as in Pierce, Ray Allen, that system, Coach etc.

And when I say he is undersized and not strong enough/can be abused in a post up you come back with Rose?

Did Rose attempt to post Rondo often?

Fuck!

I don't think Rondo is all that great. I think he's pretty good. That's my opinion. Until I see him play with a different cast I'm always gonna think the kid is very fortunate to play in Boston with the calibre of team mates he has.

You disagree? Great! Stats "prove" me wrong? Great?

The entire world can say that Rondo is great and it ain't gonna change my mind. I saw a lot of Rondo last playoffs. Didn't change my mind. Especially the Bulls series.

Rondo did much better than I would've expected without KG, and I'd take Chris Paul 11 times out of 10.

Rondo did much better than I would've expected without KG, and I'd take Chris Paul 11 times out of 10.
Seconded.

I don't think Celtics fans would take Rondo over Paul. Just like everyone should agree they'd take Rondo over Stuckey.

I'd rather have Lebron than CP, let's start a new thread.

Ainge Talks Rondo

Right up until the last minute it looked like the Boston Celtics and budding young star point guard Rajon Rondo might not get an extension done this season. There were issues on both sides, with Rondo's camp citing statements made in the press by the Celtics' brass about whether or not he could get on the same page with head coach Doc Rivers. Finally, however, cooler heads prevailed and the deal was consummated.

"We were all hopeful that we would get a deal done," Celtics GM Danny Ainge tells WEEI in Boston. "There's a lot of little things that have to be worked out in contract negotiations. If it didn't get worked out, I think both sides were fairly comfortable that we still had a bright future with one another going forward. I think it's better for this year and for the future to have a deal done with Rajon. He can concentrate on playing. I think it is a burden no matter what they say. I've been that player; I've seen players and played with a lot of guys that go through these negotiations. I've been around other teams and have watched them just in recent years when these things become issues and how for whatever reason players don't play as well as they're capable of playing and teams don't mesh or gel as well. So from that standpoint we were certainly trying to get a deal done."

When trade rumors surfaced this summer, a number of teams showed interest in acquiring Rondo, a factor that played heavily in Boston's desire to get a deal done now.

"I think a lot of the negotiations and what numbers we try to go to is based on trying to predict the future the best we can and the same on their perspective," explains Ainge. "We felt first of all that Rondo is young and he's getting better. He had a great training camp, he's improving on a lot of the areas that we discussed in the offseason, and I saw great signs from Rajon. Second of all there's a lot of money out there. There's a lot of teams that are preparing for the 2010 free agent market. And then third, this summer, as a lot of you are aware, with all the trade rumors, we discovered even though we weren't close to doing a deal for Rajon, we discovered that there is a great deal of interest in him. There are a lot of teams with cap-space and with money that have him high on their list, that would love to have him and add him to their team. I think all those things are factors of why we wanted to push this signing also."

Sometimes an extension can be a bad idea, especially for young players who might lose some of their motivation to improve when their contract is for a longer term. Ainge doesn't foresee this being an issue for Rondo.

"I have seen it on occasion, but I'm not worried about Rajon. He loves to play, he's a basketball junkie, he's a great competitor and I'm not worried about that at all. He's a kid that's very confident in himself and I think he's going to be better as a result of this contract as the pressure is relieved a little bit more. Even though there is some pressure for getting a new contract, I still think the burden of wondering and always thinking about it…it will help our team a lot to not have that burden."

http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=14251

LMAO

Ainge is basically saying they gave Rondo his extension cause the Celtics knew some team was gonna put in a massive bid for him this off-season!

And IMHO until the dude can consistently drill a long jumper he's not all that - it's a serious weakness that shouldn't be overlooked simply because he posts good stats or a great fucking team.

The Celtics (19-4) cleared their bench and had seven different players score in double figures, led by point guard Rajon Rondo’s(notes) 16 points and 14 assists.

Rondo, who has seven double-doubles during the winning streak, is averaging 9.5 assists and shooting 52.8 percent from the field, both career highs.

wow

C'mon Glan... you know he's a 4th option who only averages 10 and 4.

Yeah! Fuck constant, year-to-year improvement, amazing defense, consistent double/doubles, freakishly high FG%, et al

Fuck all that shit to hell!

wow

That 52.8% is higher than his FREE THROW percentage.

Dude, get off his cock.

How many points does he average?

How many times do teams leave him wide fucking open daring him to make a jumpshot?

The mere fact teams leave him open speaks volumes.

And before this kickstarts this shit again: The kid is good. I just think he's not as good as many people would have you believe.

Here's a little game you can play sometime. Make a positive remark or observation about the skills/performance of any player not on the Pistons. Sit back and watch how many snipers chime in to knock the player in question. Give yourself 1 point each. For example, I got 3 pts for this one (so far).

It's fun for a while, but it gets pretty predictable.

You cheated though. You picked a guy that is a total fag and universally disliked. Even if he improves to be the top PG in the NBA, he's still a cunt.

That would be like me giving Varejao a compliment. I could beat you at your own game.

GD:

I don't come on here and talk up some player I don't care about simply to watch the snipers come in.

I don't disagree with people just to create discussion or debate on a subject

I dont care what player is currently on the shit list of the "majority"

I simply don't have the time to participate in those activities. But enjoy, man. I know you do. You love that shit. It makes your working hours fly by.

Oh, you're not competing against me, H2H in the game, it's kind of like golf. Of course, it's you vs. the field, but it's also you vs. the course.

Yeah, in the 80's.

Thanks for the refresher

Tue, Dec 29
Rondo had a season-high 30 points with 15 assists in Monday's 103-99 loss at Golden State.

Rondo is averaging 22.3 points, 9.7 assists and 6.0 rebounds on the Celtics' road trip.

The fact he averages that amount of boards on that team is a sad, sad thing.

You can explain the points because his shot is shit and teams leave him open and/or his team mates are so fucking good they get him so wide open.

You can explain the assists... look at his fucking team mates!

But the boards? On a team with Perkins, Sheed, Big Baby... hang on.

You can explain that too lol

He's playing without Pierce and with a broken KG.

The guy is incredibly good.

He's incredibly lucky, I'll give you that.

I love this place. Where else can you go to find unabashed criticism for the best young players in the game (Durant, Rondo, Rose, etc.)?


Unless your name is Stuckey, that is.

Rondo has TURNED into a good player. Pistons fans only remember the guy from 2 years ago because that is the last time the Pistons even mattered.
:emo kid:

Rondo 2 years ago
+
Good defender, great athlete, very quick off the dribble, good finisher.
-
Can't hit midrange jumper even when wide open
Questionable decision making
Not a confident playmaker.
No range
Bad free throw shooter

Rondo now
+
Good defender, great athlete, very quick off the dribble
Hits wide open midrange shot with more consistency great inside/mid game
Excellent decision making.
Confident playmaker.

-
No range.
Bad free throw shooter

He has gotten better every year in the league. He went from a role player to a solid NBA starter at a hard position. And on THAT team a solid NBA starter at that position is going to have really good nights.


Everyone has this major boner for Andre Miller, well I'd take Rondo in a heartbeat over him

Put Rondo on this Pistons team and he would add 10 wins, IMO.

I like Rondo and would take him too. There are probably only a handful of PG's I'd rather have. Paul and Deron and that's about it. Too soon to tell if Rose, Jennings, etc are winners yet. Parker, Kidd, and Nash are too old. Sure, they can still win it all, but I'd take Rondo over them because you'd have him for 10 years.

5 y/ 55 mil is an OK extension too, i would have done the Stuckey, RIP & Prince for Rondo, Allen deal... you got Rondo/Gordon/Jerebko/Villa/Ben with Kwame/Max/Daye/Allen/Bynum off the bench + Allen's huge expiring contract = we would be in the market for a starting 5

I have never said the guy is crap, or not a starting PG in the league.

I have constantly said that until he plays on a real team and not an NBA Live version of one I refuse to follow along with the public perception of him.

The teams he has been on the last 2 years don't even fucking compare to regular teams.

He was awesome against the Raptors today.

With the Celtics missing KG and Pierce he had:

35 mins, 4 of 8 shooting, 6 of 9 from the foul line, +6 for the game, 5 boards, 7 assists, only 3 turnovers, 1 steal, 1 block and scored 14 points.

Considering the guys that were missing I'd say that was a damn good game...

Oh, hang on, wait...

Rondo didn't play - that's Tony Allen's boxscore.

Damn I'm stupid today.

Wow those last two posts were horrible. KG only had 10pts and 7 boards on the Celts Christmas game. Based off that one game he must be horrible.

I agree that its hard to evaluate players when they play with other great ones (a good example would be the shooters on the Bulls championship teams), but by this same logic would you argue that McHale was not a HoFer because he was a sixth man?

In the end, I can understand a fudge factor for the assists. It helps to play with guys like Allen and KG who can shoot extremely well from the floor at times. That said, he has shot well for 3 years with that cast regardless of who was sitting out on that roster. In fact, more often his play is better when one or more of the big 3 are missing. They have good players buts its not a mandatory double team over there as if Shaq, Wilt, or Dream was in the middle. While his team defense is great (helped by having KG and Sheed behind to be sure), all you have to do is watch any Celts game now to see how much better he is on the ball in man defense. He is excellent.

CP3 and Deron, hands down better. Stuckey? Not a chance IMO. Stuck is good inside 15 and at the line. I also hate to tell you that the league appears to be moving away from posting up PG's. The zone has been facilitated by the rules, and there are only a few good post up PGs left in the league. Certainly in the East.

Your arguments have more holes than Stuck's J.

A strong play by BBF.

Wow those last two posts were horrible.

Thank You - based on what I see here on a daily basis horrible is actually an imrovement over the "standard".



I agree that its hard to evaluate players when they play with other great ones (a good example would be the shooters on the Bulls championship teams), but by this same logic would you argue that McHale was not a HoFer because he was a sixth man?

You're comparing McHale's entire career to Rondo's - how many years has Rondo played so far?

And when have I said that the guy is crap?

I said he's good and that I reserve judgment until I see what he can do with a "regular" team - why is that such a bad thing?

But for the record, every single time a dude like Tony Allen or some other scrub subs for him and posts damn fine numbers the claim that Rondo is so fucking special loses something.

Tony Allen looked fucking awesome in that role. Tony fucking Allen!!!

Before I forget, congrats on your second. Life will never be the same. Infinitely more rewarding, ridiculously harder than having just one. I remember it was back in 2006 the last time I slept in past 7. Boy that was a nice day. Anyway, divide and conquer (if you are married) and if you have family help things become way easier.

Now, please don't using one game stats to ever justify anything. Even HVC (...Cigar) had a good game here or there. I don't think Rondo is an allstar either, and I don't consider him top 5 either. I do think that given that he and Stuck both suck from outside, he is a better defender, rebounder, and certainly better setup man than Stuck. That's all.

Again Congrats.

P's so desperate to criticize Rondo I'll just assume that he's bored.

Claiming that Tony Allen did something on the Rondo-scale because he had one game where he had 14 & 7 reeks of desperation (or boredom).

Claiming that Tony Allen did something on the Rondo-scale because he had one game where he had 14 & 7 reeks of desperation (or boredom).
Anyone remember when they were bringing in Tony Allen to guard Chauncey because Rondo would be overwhelmed by bigger guards?

Great example of how much Rondo has improved.

That's the thing with him, coaches, teammates, opponents and pundits alike, are all going gaga about how much better he gets every year.

Well that is all fluff IMO. People always lick the balls of players on the championship caliber teams. I think he is better, but honestly I can't believe this became a 7 page thread, and that I contributed to it.

My point isn't to compare Allen to Rondo's "greatness" - it was to show that they plugged a pretty ordinary player into his spot and got a damn fine game.

But whatever - I like Rondo but he ain't the be all and end all.

The kid is big time.

Whatever, man.

I have stated and re-stated my position numerous fucking times and quite frankly I'm sick of the kid.

He's right there with Bynum on my "lucky I like the kid or I'd kill him cause of WTF" list

The kid is big time.

Sure, nothing quite as big time as a guy that's made a whopping THREE 3-pt. field goals all year and hitting under .600 from the free throw line. If you want a guy to miss a couple free throws at the end of a close game rondo is your man. Just ask celtics fans.

Sure, nothing quite as big time as a guy that's made a whopping THREE 3-pt. field goals all year and hitting under .600 from the free throw line.

Can you dig iiiiiiiiiiiit?
The guy is a top 5 PG in the league, possibly the best defensive PG in the game, with a demonstrated record of playoff success and big performances, and he's getting better every year, whether Pistons fans like it or not.

Yet he can't hit a FT% at the average rate and his range beyond 15 feet is pretty fucking pathetic.

The guy has serious skills that are awesome.

He also has serious fucking flaws that would IMO be even more evident if he played on a "regular" team

Does it really matter where on the court he's shooting from if he can penetrate any time he wants to and shoot 50%+ from the floor?

Could it be that he actually realizes that shooting 50%+ for two is better than shooting sub 30% from three and he makes the conscious decision to take the higher percentage shot?

All valid points but he's also playing with a bunch of guys that attract multiple defenders and others that really help spread the floor including one of the best shooters to ever play the game in ray allen. Put Rondo on the pistons and he doesn't find it as easy to get high % shots. With that being said he seems to know what a high % shot is.

Still, he will miss a free throw in a close game because he has that lethal combination of not being a good free-throw shooter AND a head case. Just what you want at the end of games with your primary ball handler.

Rondo is a glorified Rod Strickland with a better nose for the basketball. His stats are eerily close to that of pooh richardson's 90/91 season which doesn't give me hope for rondo's staying power in this league. Eventually guards have to develop a jump shot. Rondo is also a certifiable idiot which is why ainge has tried to deal with him on multiple occasions. Plus his middle name is pierre.

Enough with the glorification of Rajon Rondo.

Yes.

No.

His hands are so big.

I do seriously like the kid but he's at my "most hated cause of WTF" list.

The guy has talent/skills and all but why is he a topic?

Cause some people wanna try to convince other people he's top shit? Who gives a fuck - he plays for the Celtics.

Fuck him.

Luckiest triple-double in the history of the league last night, amiright?

Those things are overrated anyways.

Fucking Hell!

Who cares what he got?

Are there trade rumours connecting this kid to us?

If he's not on the block and we're not making a play for him why oh why is he still a topic?

he plays for the Celtics.

Fuck him.
I always appreciated Pharaoh's insights.

And so should everyone else.

Detroit Pistons made a mistake not trading for Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen (http://blog.mlive.com/fullcourtpress/2010/01/did_the_detroit_pistons_make_a.html)

This should be interesting...

Rondo/Bynum
Allen/Gordon
Jerebko/Daye
Villa/Max
Ben/Kwame/Wilcox

+ massive cap space in the offseason would have been nice

3/5 of our championship starters would be in Boston, lol

Rondo/Bynum
Allen/Gordon
Jerebko/Daye
Villa/Max
Ben/Kwame/Wilcox

+ massive cap space in the offseason would have been nice

Even without the cap-space, Allen's massive expiring would likely have easily netted us a competent big man.

Of course he's near the top in assists. He's dishing the ball to Garnett down low, Allen on the outside, and Pierce wherever the hell he feels like being. Stuckey would have much higher assist total if he were in Boston with them. Allen would be replaced by Rip, who is a machine when it comes to making assists. He runs around, catches and shoots. That's his entire offensive game.

Riiiight, and CP3, Deron and Nash do it all on their own.

I'm not saying he's bad by any means, just that he wouldn't have 9+ assists per game if he were in Detroit, and Stuckey wouldn't be getting 9 a night if he were in Boston. They'd just be closer. I'd still take him over Stuckey.

Should we done that trade?

Yeah, we should have.

And then we all could have seen just how great Rondo really is.

But Joe didn't do the deal and we're stuck with Tay, Rip and Stuckey.

Moving on...

Of course he's near the top in assists. He's dishing the ball to Garnett down low, Allen on the outside, and Pierce wherever the hell he feels like being.

That's his entire offensive game.
I thought the same thing a year or so ago. Then Rondo performed far better than I expected after KG was out. If he were a Piston that might be a good thing, but he's not, so let's destroy the motherfucker when we play him.

I wonder what we could have gotten for Ray Ray's expiring deal at the deadline next month?

I'm guessing we couldn't have gotten much. All the teams with a ton of space don't really have a quality big man they're willing to trade.

And wouldn't Joe want to use that space to retain Bynum, sign a quality C and possibly grab a decent wing player to back up BG?

ALL-STAR


/cr

Lmao - how many years is this gonna roll GD?

Good on him for doing all he can with the talent he has and good on Boston for putting a great team on the floor with him.

i think Rondo would put up even better stats on a worse team

i think Rondo would put up even better stats on a worse team

Look out now!

Also, glad to see you survived the cyclone, P.

maybe less assists, but more points, lower FG% maybe, but more rebounds...the Pistons are the worst rebounding team in the league, he could lead our team in rebounding right away

Not a good few months for the state, man. Floods, this massive cyclone.. it's all fucked up.

And peeps will only reallyu notice in 12 months time when they work out that the farmers couldn't harvest or plant the next crop cause of this shit...

Most people don't think long term - these kind of situations tend to be over quickly but the effects? Last a loooong fucking time

Defended LeBron a bunch. Triple double. Celtics win.

Climb aboard, let's ride.

CPCDT

Still bumping this?

That's hilarious!

Maybe I haven't given the kid his due enough?

Ok... here we go: He still can't shoot well enough for me but the guy is very fucking good. The kind of PG you can build a very good team around, regardless of Hall of Famers or not.

His D is damn good too... and aparently his wingspan is freaky!

I think since this thread was created he's improved a hell of a lot and that's a credit to his work ethic, his Coaches and team mates and the entire Boston organisation...

And it sucks we don't have anyone like him on this squad.

^ ignoring this, on we go

Like I give a fuck about the people of Egypt?

LOL

That's rough Mxy. They just want their freedom.

Do it without any backhanded attempts to insinuate you weren't as wrong as you really were and also apologize to all of us for insulting our intelligence by repeatedly trying to claim you always said he was good when you clearly hadn't. Otherwise no deal.

That's rough Mxy. They just want their freedom.

If they're not willing to fight the forces of Rondo to get it, they're dead to me... as far as this thread goes.

CP3 would've ended the Egyptian revolution by now BECAUSE HE CAN MAKE HIS FREE THROWS!

LOL!

:insensitive:

Wow I was cranky earlier.

Vinny - I'm not making a deal to lock this fucking thread.

The thread is ancient - players develop, opinions change and at the time I posted I thought what I thought.

Was I proven wrong? Sure - over a long fucking time

Big deal - i don't give a shit. I just think if this kid is gonna get his thread bumped every time he has a great game then we should do the same for some other players too. Doesn'ty have to be Chris Paul. Could be Kevin Love or Greg Monroe

I'm shocked we don't have a Chris Paul thread. We've got Greg Monroe, Blake Griffin, Rondo, hell, I think even Paul Millsap has his own thread.

I think "Paul." may have existed before the database crash (TBeau?). If not, it should have.

Fuck Chris Paul - how about Derrick Rose?

Maybe it's cause I didn't watch many Bulls games last season but I think he's really improved this season. His shot is a lot better IMO and that opens up the drive for him to create.

Not saying Rose is better than Paul or Rondo or whomever - just that he's been pretty fucking good this season

Nice lil' 22 pt., 14 reb, 0 TO jig last night.

No biggie, tho.

I'd still take Deron Williams over all else to run this squad.

He missed a free throw, but you didn't mention that.

Missed a layup, LOL! Good thing he had KG to tip it in.

CPCDT

CP DID do that. :)

RRCDT

That's a great story.

I don't know about that story.

Ascending to legendary status.

It's the President's fault that Rondo can't shoot:
http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Did-Barack-Obama-destroy-Rajon-Rondo-8217-s-jum?urn=nba-wp7524

Could've sworn that was Leyland's fault.

Saddle up, let's ride!!!

Pretty good game between the Celts and Knicks. I'm almost happy to have the NBA back now. \m/

KG MISSES ANOTHER BIG SHOT.

NO CLUTCH GENE.

KG MISSES ANOTHER BIG SHOT.

NO CLUTCH GENE.

He was clutching Bill Walker's throat.

Rondo to Lakers for Gasol?????

Let's ride!!

Honestly, that seems like a bad trade to me.

Boston doesn't trade Rondo to get older.
L.A. will be left with half-a-big given Bynum's history.

Let's ride, you guys!!!

@Keith_Langlois
Ray Allen hasn't made a basket, Pierce just made his 1st, no KG. #Celtics are 5 up on #Pistons because Rondo has 19 w/ 3 to play in 1st half

I need someone to explain how this is possible.

Pharaoh?

4-9 from the line LOL!

CP3 wouldn't have gotten himself ejected.

18, 17, 20.




http://unlimitedwhispers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/stuart_scott.jpg

He must be butter, cuz he's on a roll?

ONLY THREE PLAYERS IN NBA HISTORY

CHRIS PAUL IS PROBABLY TWO OF THEM

I still don't get why Rondo is rumored to be on the trading block.

Thread was started in 2009... obviously Rondo improved

I still don't see a Chris Paul thread and if we ever had one why does no one update his thread every time he has a great game?

I do find it funny that this thread is still getting attention all these years later... the dead horse still rides :)

Did you call G'Lin a dead horse? Ha!

I've said it before but will say it again:

Update this thread when he has a bad game too

GD is merely doing it for shits and giggles and because every time I reply he thinks it's gotten under my skin or pissed me off

I'm so rarely here now I think it's pointless - but after knowing GD for 10 years I allow him to have his fun.

The man has issues... let him have his fun...

see what I did there?

I'm the Rondo of this joint.

Only good because of all of the Hall of Famers around me, LOL!!

WTFChris could do that.

Glenn - 2009 called - wants to know when you're giving this thread back

So lame.

Rondo for Pau reportedly rejected by Lakers.
Good non-trade for both teams.

Glenn - 2009 called - wants to know when you're giving this thread back

You just added 3 more years to this thread, MISTER.

Rondo vs CP3 on ESPN. Rivalry renewed.

With Simmons on commentary. Jesus Christ. Mute.

You just added 3 more years to this thread, MISTER.

You do realise I could delete this entire thread in an instant, right?

You ain't the only one here who can abuse his authority...

Let's get this straight: You are not Vince mcMahon and I am not Bret Hart...

You dumb son of a bitch IF choose to be I will be Stone Cold Steve Austin in this very thread. I'll stomp a mudhole in you and walk it dry!

:gulp:

WWYKI bitch

IBVSGCASL

15 Assists so far without the "Big Three". Good to see him "getting better".

15 Assists so far without the "Big Three". Good to see him "getting better".

16 assists with 8 turnovers = SG in a PG's body. :)

Okay, that was dumb.

Probably suspended for game 2.

What happened?

Not surprised that he'd pull a dick move. He does wear green and white.

Got aggressive with a ref and bumped him.

No Rondo, no problem!


EXPOSED!!

Just another triple double.

Slipped and fell while attempting a layup. LOL!

Slipped and fell while attempting a layup. LOL!

Yeah, but he shot 7-22 -- he's turning into the next Kobe.

BOSTON—At a press conference last week discussing his suspension for bumping a referee, Celtics guard Rajon Rondo blamed his conduct on having "too many role models and people to look up to" on the team to get a coherent idea of how he should act. "I had three different aging superstars, plus a coach who once played and has sons my age, giving me four different lectures about the bump," said Rondo, adding that he once tried to carry himself like Kevin Garnett, only to have all his other father figures tell him that is not how a professional should act. "I do act out from time to time, but I have no young teammates to compare my conduct to. Sometimes I wonder if these guys sort of need me to cause problems, because without me, they would have nobody to mentor." Rondo said he has talked to Celtics general manager Danny Ainge about adding a young player to the roster so he can have somebody his own age to play with, but Ainge just told him a story about asking the same thing of the Celtics GM when he was a player.

Rondo scored all 12 of Boston's points in overtime, capping a 44-point, 10-assist, eight-rebound effort in which he played every second of a 53-minute game.

What you fail to realise Gla (what kind of stupid name is that?) is that my trashing of Rondo 2 and a half years ago is THE turning point in his career!

You don't know this but I have it on good authority that my posts of wisdom were relayed to your boy RR and he printed out the entire thread! He read it over and over and over again throughout the 2009-10 season, throughout the 2010 off-season, throughout the 2010-11 season, throughout the lockout, throughout this current 2012 season

The fucker has it pinned in his home locker,m puts it in his away locker, fucker has it on his ipad, got one of his boys to speak MY shit and he stuck it on his ipod!

Your boy RR has been using my posts to motivate himself for YEARS!

Give me some motherfucking credit!

no you can't use this in your Spurs thread mate

WAY too much cockriding going on during this pregame show.

There is NOTHING special about Rondo.

Making a living off of playing with all these hall of famers, smh.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or you're just double down on defending the indefensible....

It's done for shits and giggles Kstat...to get a response from me

Must be 1000 days since Glenn started this thread too

FWIW Rondo has helped me stay in first place of the NBA Fantasy League GD and I are in...

GD might be pissed cause I wouldn't give him Rondo in a trade he proposed :)

And I even offered you Chris Paul!

Oh, sweet irony.

The full trade was:

Rondo, Ibaka, Gortat, Knight to you for Millsap, CP3, Okafor and Redick!

Come on man - you know it was a bullshit trade proposal

Completely fair for someone who feels the way you do about cp3 vs. Rondo.

Not to mention that you would have ended up with the two highest ranked players in the deal (original ranks).

I wanted "my guys" and offered you "your guys", righting a wrong.

But it's your right to hate the deal. And so you did/do.

But he can't even shoot!

LMAO GD - Okafor is not my guy, Redick was mentioned as a free agent signing

And Fantasy production is a little bit different to the real world.

I'm not gonna do this. If we're so bored that this is the topic of choice then I'll just watch a movie.

I was wrong! You guys were right! It's not the first time and it's not gonna be the last!

Finally!

And it only took 3 years! :D

I will sleep better tonight. The trade proposal was really worth it now.

Sweet victory.

If I could be bothered to go back through 5 pages I'm sure I'd find the post where I already said you were right.

Is this what the whole thread has been about? Did you continue to update it year after year until "finally" I said I was wrong?

After 11 years GD I expected more. But that's on me. I expect Vinny to gloat - he's a fuckhead. He's chimed in from the sideline in this thread often, so it's par for the course for him. But I really expected more of you Glenn. And I really shouldn't have, not after the Orlando thread. Maybe I should have seen this coming, but after almost 2 full seasons away I must have forgot...

I could un-sticky this... but considering there are only 6-10 people who still post here I'm happy for them to see this. It says more about you 2 assclowns than it does about me.

As for Joey A - dude knows it's a big joke... hence the smiley

LMAO - from 02-14-2011 and you know I'm gonna quote #103 in full


Still bumping this?

That's hilarious!

Maybe I haven't given the kid his due enough?

Ok... here we go: He still can't shoot well enough for me but the guy is very fucking good. The kind of PG you can build a very good team around, regardless of Hall of Famers or not.

His D is damn good too... and aparently his wingspan is freaky!

I think since this thread was created he's improved a hell of a lot and that's a credit to his work ethic, his Coaches and team mates and the entire Boston organisation...

And it sucks we don't have anyone like him on this squad.

Now, consider GD posted
^ ignoring this, on we go it's pretty clear this thread exists for the sole purpose of "grinding my gears"

Also consider that the only other person who has updated this thread when it's been dead is Vinny...

Happy to entertain you 2 assclowns for a little while longer. But I do believe I warned you somewhere in this thread GD.

As for Joey A - dude knows it's a big joke... hence the smiley

Right, and I can't possibly be joking either, no smiley!

You might have been joking in November 2009... might have been joking in November 2010... might have been joking in November 2011... but in November 2012 it's just fucking pathetic dude.

I'll admit for a while there it used to piss me off that you and your cum sponge Vinny would update this whenever Rondo had a great game. But after a while it just got old - probably by the end of the 2010 playoffs

Ever since I've let it slide, not saying much because it was obvious to me that it was done just to get a reaction.

So I stopped reacting to it, came here less and less and got seriously involved in NRL Fantasy... yet you wankers continued to update this thread! WTF for? I was rarely here!

And now it finally gets a sticky? LMAO

Making fun of shit people said in the past (including one's self) is one of the few remaining appeals of message boards. Personally, almost everything I post is an attempt to entertain myself or others. So look for more from this thread in the months and years to come.

I applaud you for having an opinion, in any case. A lot of people just like to play it safe out of fear that they might have their words thrown back at them later. That sucks.

Look at Beauld Flavors, he spends hours on end digging up old threads and posts where people look stupid.

If it makes you feel better, go dig up some of my opinions that look dumb now. I'll even help you, check out my thoughts on the career path of Arron Afflalo back when he was a rookie with us. I thought he'd be out of the league by now. That's hilarious.

Of course, my opinions are right 10 times for every one they are wrong, but good luck hunting anyways.

Of course.

^ on point.

Hours? Hey, I'm not THAT much of a bum!

P, what you did in this thread is ridiculous. If you can't see that I don't know that most on here can possibly communicate with you. Maybe it's the language barrier or something? It's OK to admit you're wrong! That was the whole point! It's OK to be wrong! You don't have to backpedal and make excuses and twist your words. Jf you can't be ok with being wrong once in a while you're never going to grow.

The lackey wants to dish out advice about growing?

You updated the thread when it was dead - because that's what GD did. Why did you do it? Because your a fucking follower, a cum sponge for GD, sucking up for who knows what reason.

Maybe you think being the clear #2 on a website makes you cool? That's if you're dumb enough to think you could eclipse the greatness of Flavors or the the brilliance that is Mxy. You can't even eclipse Joey A and he doesn't even post much!

You think my statements way back in 2009 up to the point where I conceeded Rondo was good (the first time) were "rediculous". What is actually rediculous is the fact you think I give a flying fuck what you think. You suck your NBA opinions out of the fish flaps of GD!

You wanna talk about growing?Grow a pair cum sponge. Have an original thought. Bump threads that GD doesn't. Maybe talk some basketball for a change. Or maybe rim someone else's ass cause after this many years GD must be clean by now

The NBA forum is back?

Really? Really? Where?

You let this place become a ghost town while I was away - fucked my home board for shits and giggles with your bullshit

Where is the salary cap thread? We could have almost $30 million in cap space and there is no thread about it!

Where is the Fire Dumars thread? If this place was rocking you know they'd be a big discussion about IF Joe should be in charge of another spending spree or if we should get someone else now the decks are almost clear... and that thread would have some potential GMs in it!

Where are the threads for shit that matters? Nothing about the new CBA and how the new tax levels could really benefit us next off-season. Nothing about Miami, nothing about the Clippers...

You're the leader here GD and the only thing that's happened on your watch is that Vinny turned into a moron!

We've still got Spurs and Rondo threads - is it 2012? Motherfucker the world is supposed to end on December 20th and we're still talking about shit that happened years ago!

If it wasn't for Kstat this place would be deader than Vinny's brain cells

Personally I can't wait for February - the trade deadline and the NRL starts back up again! Finally I'll have something that interests me.

In the meantime I'll amuse myself with the comedy duo that is Glenn and Vinny while whipping a bunch of mediocre monkeys at NBA Fantasy basketball!

So offended by this crap.

Vinny and I are BOTH morans, don't give him all of the credit.

So steamed right now, you guys.

And for your information, I am the ONLY ONE that has been (unsuccessfully) marketing this joint to the masses for 6+ years now.

I mean, I may have built a twitter empire along the way, but it took a lot of time and effort, mister.

So you don't want to grow?

You are a joke. Sorry P, I'm going to have to say what everyone else is way too nice to say. It's PAINFULLY obvious that you don't really watch the games. And that's OK! That's what boards like this exist for, to discuss and to learn. But if you're going to be so stubborn as to refuse to admit when you're wrong, why should anybody on here take what you say seriously? And I'm sorry but your claim that you admitted you were wrong by saying that Rondo had gotten better since your original statement? Seriously, you're going to insult our intelligence like that? You're not dealing with 9 year olds here son.

You screwed up. It happens! People get ribbed when they screw up. Get fucking over it. Quit your fucking temper tantrum and move on.

Tldr:

Don't like being treated like a tool? Quit being a fucking tool!

Come on guys, were are here just for fun...make peace, not war... this sounds more and more like Hamas vs. Israel :>

So you don't want to grow?

What! The! Fuck! Shut the fuck up you ignorant little worm. You have no idea what has been going on in my life the last 4 years and you couldn't even begin to imagine what kind of person I am or what I do each and every day. Your knowledge of me is less than your knowledge of the NBA - which is almost non-existant



You are a joke. Sorry P, I'm going to have to say what everyone else is way too nice to say. It's PAINFULLY obvious that you don't really watch the games. And that's OK! That's what boards like this exist for, to discuss and to learn.

Again, you have no fucking idea what you're talking about. I've downloaded and watched more games than you could possibly imagine - there is a reason I know how to whip all your moneky asses in Fantasy basketball and it's not because I'm good at crunching numbers. Recent example is Kstat saying Stephenson is the back up PG for the Pacers... In the games I've watched them play us (old rivalry so download that) he's rarely played that spot and has been used as a wing. Obviously my knowledge of his HS and NCAA career is non existant but apparently the kid was a PG. Not in the NBA, not used as such until very recently.

What is PAINFULLY obvious to me is that you have no fucking idea what it takes to play basketball at a level above "rec". What is PAINFULLY obvious to me is that your knowledge of team management is null and void! What is PAINFULLY obvious to me is that you couldn't even begin to imagine what it takes to impliment a winning culture, a team structure that is proven to be successful because you've never achieved anything that comes close to success!

You are a follower. You do as you are told or follow the crowd because you're simply not wired that way. But if you're going to be so stubborn as to refuse to admit that why should I take you seriously?


But if you're going to be so stubborn as to refuse to admit when you're wrong, why should anybody on here take what you say seriously? And I'm sorry but your claim that you admitted you were wrong by saying that Rondo had gotten better since your original statement? Seriously, you're going to insult our intelligence like that? You're not dealing with 9 year olds here son.


No, many here know exactly what they're talking about - you however are not one of them. You rarely make any contribution to the NBA board because your knowledge is limited. And that's OK!. That's what boards like this exist for, to discuss and to learn. Yet you fail to ask questions, you fail to discuss, you fail to learn



You screwed up. It happens! People get ribbed when they screw up. Get fucking over it. Quit your fucking temper tantrum and move on.


I've screwed up many, many times in my life. Posting something online and being wrong about it isn't even on my radar you pole smoker. This isn't a tantrum - it's me pointing out the PAINFULLY obvious. You're an assclown. You're a follower. You bumped this to make me look bad... for 3+ years. Even after I said I was wrong!

Glenn does that shit cause the boy has issues. I stated as much in this thread. I know his issues cause over the 11 years of posting together we've actually posted about real world shit. I stated I'd let him have his fun.

What the fuck was your excuse? You bumped this so I'd admit I was wrong? I did - yet you continued to bump it. That says more about you than this entire thread says about me.

Cause what you don't know is that in the beginning I refused to say I was wrong to keep ONE fucking topic going... to allow for some kind of issue on this site. GD and I used to do that shit all the time and your monkey ass never knew - no one knew! Can't all agree on everything all the time - that's boring! Eventually I chose to admit I was wrong because there were other topics going I actually cared about. GD chose to continue this... probably because he knew the board would eventually need it...

What the fuck was your excuse? You're a fucking idiot Vinny! You have no fucking idea what the hell was going on. You still have no idea. Your monkey ass couldn't have an original idea if Vince McMahon himself fed you one!



Tldr:


Why am I not surprised your dumb ass didn't read my response! You didn't read it but replied anyway - typical of someone like you with no fucking idea of what is going on.



Don't like being treated like a tool? Quit being a fucking tool!

Amen to that

Post #21
I think that he can be abused in a post up situation.

Look, the kid is fucking great in Boston.

I'm looking at it and wonder what he could do elsewhere on a normal team.

Post #25 (partial quote)
I don't think Rondo is all that great. I think he's pretty good. That's my opinion. Until I see him play with a different cast I'm always gonna think the kid is very fortunate to play in Boston with the calibre of team mates he has.

You disagree? Great! Stats "prove" me wrong? Great?

Post #36 (partial quote)
before this kickstarts this shit again: The kid is good. I just think he's not as good as many people would have you believe

And for shits and gigles the big reveal no one read Post #39
GD:

I don't come on here and talk up some player I don't care about simply to watch the snipers come in.

I don't disagree with people just to create discussion or debate on a subject

I dont care what player is currently on the shit list of the "majority"

I simply don't have the time to participate in those activities. But enjoy, man. I know you do. You love that shit. It makes your working hours fly by.

What is really going on here? All these posts are from Page 1 of this thread (for me - 40 per page)...

And some moron claims I never said Rondo was good. Claims I had to back peddle!

The fact that all the posts quoted are before December 15th 2009 PROVES I didn't need to back peddle - I clearly stated Rondo was good FROM THE START!

So again Vinny - why did you bump this thread?

Fucking clown with no NBA knowledge trying to bring it - you couldn't bring it if I hired you a delivery service

Really...? The fact that this is your response pretty much just validates everything I meant.

Honestly, P, none of this is a big deal but you seriously are acting like a child. Get Fucking Over It.

You know how you get respect man?? You fucking earn it, you don't just yell real loud. if you've got all this knowledge you claim, share some of it because I sure as hell haven't seen it in this forum. The fact that you're honestly trying to compare fantasy basketball to the real NBA says about all I need to hear.

And you know what else? When you're wrong, it's fine if you don't want to admit it, but don't repeatedly go around trying to deny ever having said it and then when you get called out for it WHINE LIKE A FUCKING BITCH about it. You try to blame me and Glenn for this?? YOU BROUGHT IT ON YOURSELF SUCKER.

And I read your post, you really don't get the Tldr thing I don't think. That's all i got time for right now. I think you should re-read this entire thread, try to do so OBJECTIVELY, and then come apologize for wasting all of our time with what is CLEARLY a temper tantrum.

Man up. Grow up. Stop being a bitch. Period.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAHAHA POST OF THE YEAR PHARAOH!! GOOD SHIT. Damn, only Knockout is supposed to give beatdowns like this homeboy.

I'm really feeling left out here. Can someone hack on me a lil bit?

And for your information, I am the ONLY ONE that has been (unsuccessfully) marketing this joint to the masses for 6+ years now.

I mean, I may have built a twitter empire along the way, but it took a lot of time and effort, mister.

I'm callin bullshit. I had RMT posting here and this other dude for a lil bit.

:hankerin4afite:

LMAO - you really are a clown, aren't you?

Can you read?

Are you really that dense?

You want to talk about respect? How much respect did you show me when you bumped this thread?

And now you claim you've yet to read my knowledge? Maybe you should spend some time on the NBA board!

Keep clinging to the idea I don't watch games! Keep clinging to this fantasy that I never said Rondo was good - my posts from 2009 prove I said it.

How you read everything else is up to you. But I'm not going to further illustrate things for you. Maybe GD can hook you up and you'll see what has been going on?

I really don't have the time to spoon feed your monkey ass AGAIN! Everything you need to know is in this thread - has been evident FROM THE START! It's clearly pointed out in 4 posts that I quoted - all come before December 15th 2009!

I'm not the one that needs to re-read the thread. I'm not the one who doesn't understand what has been going on here.

You talking about how when you said you weren't really wrong, it was that Rondo had really improved since your original statement and that was why he was so good now?? Please. Again, you're not dealing with children.

Why does this bother you so much?? IT'S OK to be wrong dude. Get over it. That's the only reason you could possibly get so upset over this silly shit is if you didn't believe that somehow. IT'S OK!

Deep breaths P, deep breaths.

Keep throwing out your defensive cheap shots if that's what you need to feel better here buddy, it's no skin off my back but until you address the root issues here I don't know if you're ever going to be able to really move on. Maybe you should try meditating or something/

T - why would I hack on you? Have you disrespected the Great Pharoah?

Have you foolishly tried to put a dent in a legacy I've spent the majority of 11 years building? It's not a dent, it's not even a scratch!

Have you bumped a thread for years for no reason except to make me look bad?

Some clown who spends more time putting on make up than he spends on the NBA board wants to come on here and claim something, anything... as if he KNOWS a thing about what goes on on MY board!

Fucking tool needs to get back in his box and remember who swings the sledge hammer. I'm nailing him for a reason!

This shit is RAW, and I'm delivering a SMACKDOWN of epic proportions on someone who has no idea what is coming NXT

I'm not asking the motherfucker to read between the lines here - but I'm certainly not gonna sit back and let this Jabroni claim he KNOWS shit when it's PAINFULLY obvious what is REALLY going on

How long must this carry on? Again an attempt to act like you have SOME idea.

You're as blind to the truth as Stevie Wonder!

Meditation is cool, the ocean is cool, in fact I'm sitting on a beach right now on my lap top watching my 2 boys swim and throw sand at each other. I'm not throwing sand your way...

Just pointing out that these attempts to act like you KNOW something is hilarious because if you even stopped for ONE second and read my posts you'd realise how fucking foolish you look.

Oh trust me, I read them. I was trying to be nice by not calling out how stupid they are. Guess that's over now.

And so it goes, so it goes
GD and Pharaoh know
what Vinny doesn't know

You're a mark - don't be like Bret Hart and be a mark for yourself... cause The Hitman character got shot and raped in Montreal on PPV

Nice try P.

What?

What exactly am I trying to do?

Point out that you have no idea?

I believe I have done an awesome job doing that - and you're come backs are lamer than Hulk Hogan's?

You can't steal the spotlight Vinny - it's too bright for you

There are so many posts that shine a light on all of this - are you blinded by the light like you are blind to the truth?

I know why Mr Monkey Spunk has no idea...

he didn't even post in this thread until #87... and that post has nothing to do with Rondo!

Late to the party and brought no booze... typical

And while some clowns are playing to packed houses on the road to nowhere there is at least one of the originals trying to keep this fucking place relevant.

Are you an original Vinny? Or did you arrive late to this site like you did to this thread?

Not that it really matters - some people have to pave the way for others to follow

Drop some knowledge on us all Vinny - the salary cap thread needs your attention. I've even provided 3 links so you can act like you know what's up!

No excuses - just like this thread - what was that excuse you gave for bumping this thread? Oh, you didn't post one? Not surprised considering you don't fucking have one...

you don't have an excuse, you also don't an idea or a clue or a pair... or even the sense to see what is posted right before your eyes.

Here's hoping GD school's you to the ways of working...

although that would take all the fun out of me schooling your monkey ass

Jesus dude, don't make me run up the score. Was trying to let you be.

Run up the score? LMAO

You couldn't score with a $2 whore

I'm beating you like a drum

Dear wtfdetroit.com. So sorry for wasting your time with all this. pharaoh has obviously dominated me to the core. I don't even know what to do any more, it's just , I'm so afraid, I don't even know how to deal with the guy. He's just SO COOL. I've obviously been desperately trying to trick you guys all into thinking I'm as cool as him but at this point I realize that I have failed. I have no further choice but to throw myself at the mercy of the court, if you will, and hope that you all (and him if he has any mercy in his heart) will allow me to save face. Please allow me to still post here. I know he's a pretty cool guy as he keeps reminding us all but I just hope that I can somehow live in his shadow. Regretfully yours, Vinny.

Dear wtfdetroit.com. So sorry for wasting your time with all this.

That's all you had say

But as usual you chose to act like you have an idea... and unfortunately for you, despite my clear and present help you have FAILED!

Of course I have dominated you! Did you think I couldn't, or wouldn't after the disrespect you showed me for years? Did you expect me to let it slide endlessly while you smirk your way through life, suckling at the breasts of this site, a site my righteous arse helped to birth and nurture until I set it off into the world wide web?

But you shouldn't fear me. No one on here should fear me. Fear is the weakest of all emotions, brought about by your own doubts, conjured up inside you by that pathetic little muscle you rarely exercise: your brain! No, you shouldn't fear me. You should respect me though. Especially when I've guided you every step of the way. It's not my fault you're too aroogant to really notice.

Not once have I said I was cool. Not once. I don't need to talk about myself like that. My posts SAY IT ALL!

I'm happy to read you admit that you've "been desperately trying to trick you guys all into thinking I'm as cool as him but at this point I realize that I have failed"...acknowledging your flaws is a nice first step Vinny. Maybe re-reading this thread would be a nice second step. Maybe?

And don't worry too much, you don;t have to beg for the mercy of the court... or hope that I will allow you to save face. The heel in me wants this to continue, but again I'll simply tell you to maybe re-read this thread and see if you get it.

And if you can't get it maybe you should get the "F" out....

Can't say that I really understand the epic theater that is taking place here (I didn't get "The Master", after all), but I do like how "re-reading this thread" has been deemed some sort of punishment.

I would have more fun masterbating with a cheese grater GD.

Fix the PM situation and school your boy on the ways of working

Any more lame posts like his last "comeback" and I'll have no material to work with.

"Austin 3:16" it ain't! "Hard Times" it ain't! "Cane Dewey" it ain't!

Starting to think you actually believe what you've been saying in here. Kind of concerning??

Hey Vinny you can take the blue pill and the story will end. You can wake the fuck up and believe whatever you want to believe.

Or

You can take the red pill, stay in Wonderland, and I continue to stomp a rabbit hole in ya

The problem is choice

Instead of wasting your time thinking about what I believe maybe you should re-read this thread?

Who gives a fuck what I believe? Not everyone believes what I do...

which is cool since my beliefs do not require them to!

And GD - you might not understand the epic theater but you appreciate it. You've always loved conflict...even gone miles out of your way to create it

And Vinny - http://www.wtfdetroit.com/forums/showthread.php?17294-The-Salary-Cap-Thread

drop some knowledge dude

And GD - you might not understand the epic theater but you appreciate it. You've always loved conflict...even gone miles out of your way to create it

It's true that conflict can create conversation. This thread is an excellent example. Re-read it.

Some of my best work is in this thread.

Does Rondo need to be stickied?

I guess I'm just not that into Rondo...

HA!

Well, if you go back and read the thread you'll find a lot of people were saying that Rondo wasn't all that and a bag of chips... and Glenn was defending his position.

That's the main reason the thread still exists (paying attention Vinny?) - Glenn went to bat for Rondo against the majority of the board and over time he's been proven correct. Everyone else gave up defending their position because it was PAINFULLY obvious that Glenn was proven right.

Me? I "refused" to let it go. I "refused" to acknowledge Glenn was right. But am I refusing because I'm a child or am I refusing because I'm playing a game?

For the last week I've "attacked" Vinny... am I really attacking him?

Time and time again this thread has been kept alive... for a variety of reasons. We have like 5 people who regualraly post here FFS.

It's all a work.. and I've tried numerous times to point that out. But "people can believe what they want to believe"

Quit bumping the thread. It's disrespectful.

Disrespectful to whom Vinny Mac?

You? Fuck You!

You're spoonful of monkey spunk that couldn't read the writing on the wall even when that wall was thrown at you brick by fucking brick!

It's not disrespectful to me... this is my Montreal!

And it sure as shit ain't disrespectful to GD - motherfucker looks like he was holding the NBA's pencil way back when this began.

i wonder if i should bother now i called it a work

SMH. So disrespectful.

Bumpity, Bumpity, BUMP!

Earl Hebner just told me he doesn't respect your NBA knowledge!

The streak is ovah! Let the suspensions begin!

Chris Paul would have landed more punches.

Chris Paul would not have been involved in a fight!

Rondo has some serious issues - Ray Allen told me so!

Column: As star of the Celtics, the combustible Rajon Rondo can't play enforcer too. http://tinyurl.com/chhfa2k


LOL @ Adrian Woj! Rondo is the "star" of the Celtics! LMAO.

I think he needs to re-read this thread.

I note he said "star" and not "franchise player" or "superstar" :)

Rajon Rondo did a triple double, but
FAILED
TO
WIN
IN
THE
END!

Happy the Celtics lost, happy Rondo failed... and am happy he stuffed the boxscore for my fantasy team!

This is why I didn't trade Rondo GD - for games like this

Fucker still can't shoot though

Happy the Celtics lost, happy Rondo failed... and am happy he stuffed the boxscore for my fantasy team!

That's what gravytraining off of all of those Hall of Famers will do for you.

Well, he's obviously doing wonders for Jason Terry, Brandon Bass, Jeff Green and Courtney Lee. All those guys look like superstars next to him...

Oh wait, no they don't!

Get off his jock GD. Rondo is not the best PG in the league. And his jumper still ain't what it should be.

PAUL VS RONDO TONIGHT

TORN ACL!!

DONE!!

Damn, beat me to it.

Chris Paul would have totally not torn his ACL on that play.

Smh. So disrespectful.

We got three PG's to offer... OK one good bench PG

Mavs in pursuit.

#smh

Good player, but I don't like the guy.

Can I say that in here?

Guess they feel like they can't get CP3, so they'll settle.
