2420778, Rick Carlisle vs. Rajon Rondo.
Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Feb-12-15 01:46 AM
In Connect Four.

Apparently Rondo kicked his ass.

Rick's quote to press about it: "He got all excited afterward. I told him to learn how to make a shot."

It's real at the board game table, son.

watching an E:60 or some kind of extended interview featuring Rondo where he says he's something of a math nerd or in love with mathematics in general and that he like to play Connect Four for fun.

I have no clue why I vaguely remember that.
2420821, I feel like its been discussed here

Apparently Rondo doesn't like to lose.

Judging from how things have been going--even prior to this video, seems liek a chance Rondo doesnt end up back in Dallas next season... hmmm

Rondo may not even get the money he is looking for...Maybe a team in the East will sign him. Because he's not staying in Dallas and his play has looked pretty iffy...
2424235, His Play Has Looked Normal

He's played up to par...dude's been garbage. All that talk when he had 3 HOF's covering for his broke-jump shooting ass. Since they left he's been exposed as a stat-padding turd.

Carlisle ain't having his diva antics and his stat-padding. Dallas is better off without him. Fuck Rondo

That being said, he might wind up with the Lakers...can run the show, cool with Kobe, and can get the rest of the team easy shots (which will definitely help the rookie Randle)

I can see that....But I wouldn't be surprised to see him on a team like Charlotte....

2424440, I'm saying though. Players & coaches argue all the time, No?
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Wed Feb-25-15 06:00 PM
After the game, he said it was no big problem, he'd go back to starting. And they'd move on.

Bench him. Don't start him. This seems like some after the day, catching feelings.
2424445, Edit: Now they're saying there was a 2nd shouting match...
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Wed Feb-25-15 06:03 PM
in the locker room.

Well, then okay then.
2424455, so that had to happen after he said everything was ok, right?
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Wed Feb-25-15 07:03 PM
or else it doesnt make sense timeline wise like you said.

But yea from what I know of Rondo, he probably aint the type to back down and apologize.
2424459, Yeah that had to happen after.
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Wed Feb-25-15 07:10 PM
He talked to Tubby after the game too. One would think that would calm him down. But he butted heads with the Honorable Orlando as well. Lol. So there's that.

Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Thu Feb-26-15 11:39 AM
The reality is Rondo's run with the Mavs is extremely unlikely to extend past this season.

2424573, I said yes before, but for all his brains, he still hasn't developed a "j"
Posted by Castro, Thu Feb-26-15 11:47 AM
He has those occasional games, but generally he still can't hit the side of a barn. Now the east has Lowry, Teague, Ky, Reggie Jackson, Wall, MCW, Kemba, Dragic, the Orlando kids....Rondo had time to work on it, and its not there....and this Dallas stint has exposed it.

We need more than Jacques Vaughn Deluxe VSOP in NY right today.
2424574, need him in LA so we can get dat pick next year

Isiah
2424592, actually, its Rondo. ;-) but the landscape has changed
Posted by Castro, Thu Feb-26-15 12:35 PM
2424598, rondo wasn't dominating the ball like that back then tho
Posted by Cenario, Thu Feb-26-15 12:42 PM
2424616, There was no difference between Rondo 2014-15 and Ring Rondo
Posted by Castro, Thu Feb-26-15 01:15 PM
and that is why we don't need him...his game hasn't grown.
2424626, His role grew which is what led to ball-dominance
Posted by LA2Philly, Thu Feb-26-15 01:46 PM
His game may not have grown but he wasn't asked to dominate the ball and create when he had KG, Ray, and PP....he was initiating the offense and creating when he had the chance.
2424602, No, it wasn't, their ball distribution was very good
Posted by LA2Philly, Thu Feb-26-15 12:47 PM
Don't confuse initiating an offense with being ball dominant.
2424576, not if we are running the triangle.
Posted by Cenario, Thu Feb-26-15 11:51 AM
a ball dominating pg who can't hit a 15 footer??
2424585, that's probably in the cards...

..and i wouldn't be upset if does.

2424836, I would love for the Lakers to sign Rondo this offseason, that'd be perfect
Posted by Bombastic, Fri Feb-27-15 01:09 PM
to continue their freefall and the comedy between Rondo/Old Kob would be classic.

Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Fri Feb-27-15 02:16 PM
And I look forward to you trying to convince me again Rondo doesn't make you mad.
2424865, the era when folks try to claim him as an elite point guard certainly is
Posted by Bombastic, Fri Feb-27-15 02:37 PM
you need to learn the difference between me being mad and me making you mad, this is the latter.
2424872, Nah, Im 100% good. Rondo will figure it out.
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Fri Feb-27-15 02:58 PM
Or go to another more suitable team.

My question for you, y'all gonna throw us a boatload of picks for the Pineapple Passer or nah?
2424879, who?
Posted by Bombastic, Fri Feb-27-15 03:07 PM
>My question for you, y'all gonna throw us a boatload of picks
>for the Pineapple Passer or nah?

edit: wait, just realized that was likely a cross-sport reference to Marriotta.

Nah, we're not giving the Raiders any picks, we know y'all ain't taking 'em because you still are stuck thinking Carr is gonna be a franchise QB.

Better to bilk the Jets at #6 or maybe the Rams at #10.

Only other team in the Top 10 who I would think might take him would be the Titans at #2 but that's gonna likely be too pricey.

I would love to be done with Nick Folds, just not at King's Ransom prices.
2424885, The only way I think we could pull it off is if we can fool y'all into thinking..
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Fri Feb-27-15 03:17 PM
someone else wants to trade for the pick. And I don't think our front office is savvy enough to pull it off.

Carr is solid though. I like him a lot.
2424890, yeah, Reggie McKenzie & Mark Davis ain't outfoxing Chip Kelly
Posted by Bombastic, Fri Feb-27-15 03:30 PM
I don't really have a strong opinion on Carr, he was horrendous in the Bowl Game vs USC on his way out and something tells me between being a Carr along with being a Raider it's not gonna lead anywhere but I can't say I watched him all that much last year.
2424944, Remember This?
