"My vets would never go to the media. They would come to the team. My vets didn’t pick and choose when they wanted to bring it. They brought it every time they stepped in the gym whether it was practice or a game. They didn’t take days off. My vets didn’t care about their numbers. My vets played for the team. When we lost, they wouldn’t blame us. They took responsibility and got in the gym. They showed the young guys what it meant to work. Even in Boston when we had the best record in the league, if we lost a game, you could hear a pin drop on the bus. They showed us the seriousness of the game. My vets didn’t have an influence on the coaching staff. They couldn’t change the plan because it didn’t work for them. I played under one of the greatest coaches, and he held everyone accountable. It takes 1-15 to win. When you isolate everyone, you can’t win consistently. I may be a lot of things, but I’m not a bad teammate. My goal is to pass what I learned along. The young guys work. They show up. They don’t deserve blame. If anything is questionable, it’s the leadership."
2592258, so he's....doing exactly what they showed him not to do?

i started to post this, but i was like "i'll let RBO handle that, i know he'll come up with a much better post title than i would"

you could've explored the studio space a little more on that one, my G. lolz.
2592278, It's not my best, but I was legit happy he said something.

Posted by murph71, Thu Jan-26-17 09:33 PM


Fuck bum ass PG's that have a history of beefing with coaches, teammates and his Connect 4 opponents ...

My Bulls r mediocre as hell.....And that's because of a lack of defense, poor spacing, NO 3 GAME, and shitty PG play...I can't even blame Rondo because dude ain't getting any tick....He's not playing enough to be a scapegoat...

But I can tell that dude that quit on his last team to shut the fuck up....Ya dig?
2592283, ....and also beating the Bulls.

But WE good dog....lol
2592318, That collapse vs ATL happened w/ vets on the floor.

2592288, this is great. dumbass garpax hands are now forced
Posted by RandomFact, Thu Jan-26-17 10:10 PM
pretty much have to release rondo at this point and take the hit. or attempt to trade him for scraps (not happening now).

this is all garpax fault. i assume reinsdorf* may actually start to give a shit now that his pocket books are hurt. gotta move on from garpax. this is hopefully the catalyst.

* = unless rondo was reinsdorfs idea in an attempt to put bodies in seats and not go full rebuild.
2592300, He wants to be released, so he can ring-chase with Cleveland
Posted by okayplayery, Fri Jan-27-17 01:03 AM
That's all there is to it.


Oh, and your vets would've straight beaten yo ass, if ya played defense for them like you did the last 4 years, Rondo.
2592301, He don't have to ring chase. He already has a ring.
Posted by realityrap, Fri Jan-27-17 01:15 AM
2592305, he wants more

What Wade and Butler did was bush league.

For all of his "superstar" talent Jimmy Butler on helps Jimmy Butler.
----------------------------
Same as it ever was!
2592332, I agree with both sides
Posted by auragin_boi, Fri Jan-27-17 10:09 AM
Rondo was right...Jimmy's leadership was called into question LAST season so that ain't new. It was the rift that drove Noah (perennial good dude) and to a lesser extent Rose (though I question his desire to even play ball anymore at this point) out of town if you ask me.

Wade has always been a bit of a diva and now that he's in the twilight of his career, the gloves are off. So Rondo is right...you don't talk to the press, you take the blame as the best players, hit the gym and tell the young guys how to correct the issues. Keep it in house.

But on the flip...that Atlanta loss was ALLLLLL the fault of the 'others' (c) Shaq. We were up 10 with 3 mins left and Wade and Jimmy were cooking. Going back and forth for buckets.

ATL adjusted enough that on a few plays they had to move the ball. Up 10, Zipser, Taj and Niko took bum a**, ill-advised, non-necessary 3's. I mean, we get 2pts on those possessions and the game is practically over. But instead of attacking the rim and drawing either fouls or getting layups, they are flinging like we were trailing. Those possessions were the catalyst for ATL's run. Add that to the fact that Schroeder was getting anything he wanted during that time which opened the floor for Milsap and Hardaway Jr and voila...clusterf*ck.

They can't be THAT low bball IQ'd in that situation.

So...both sides are right.
2592347, Called it the minute they signed this loser
Posted by COOLEHMAGAZINE, Fri Jan-27-17 11:30 AM

He is just the fucking worst, on every level. Can't play, terrible attitude, terrible history, terrible on D, and basically a cancer who doesn't even bring any skills to the table.

Not sure I have ever hated a player more.
2592351, lol...which one?

2592449, How do you call out the bench then go 1-13 (3pts) coming off the bench?
