2687152, Rajon Rondo is why LeLakers will eventually win a title.
Posted by Dr Claw, Fri Feb-08-19 06:42 AM
When the current Lakers play Golden Piss with Rondo in the line up, they either win or the blowout potential greatly is reduced.

Dallas was a horrible fit. He came to New Orleans under Gentry and showed that he still has the magic touch.

Last night against Boston, the Lakers put on a much better showing than the Indiana meltdown.

The man once derided as a "stat padding turd" is dropping win padding turds on the competition.

Best part of the Los Angeles Meme Team.

Discuss.

2687164, You telling me it won’t be Lonzo??
Posted by Beezo, Fri Feb-08-19 10:06 AM
2687166, I think Rondo is the perfect role model for Lonzo.

2687165, its no secret, in Dallas he just butted heads with an overrated coach...
Posted by ThaTruth, Fri Feb-08-19 10:09 AM
that is still living off a title he won almost 10 years ago.
2687170, what exactly has Rondo done to earn any sort of status?
Posted by cgonz00cc, Fri Feb-08-19 10:29 AM
honestly?
2687174, Kept that C’s team competitive a year extra
Posted by Tiger Woods, Fri Feb-08-19 10:41 AM
And by competitive, I mean like one win from the Finals competitive

He was the guy who stirred the drink that year, and they were *this* close from preventing the Heatles from becoming a thing
2687193, so he went to a conf finals with KG?
Posted by cgonz00cc, Fri Feb-08-19 01:00 PM
cool

2687173, He will be but more for his off-court leadership than on-court
Posted by LA2Philly, Fri Feb-08-19 10:40 AM
He is flat-out atrocious defensively but perhaps that will change in the playoffs when he's actually focused on that end (same as LeBron)
2687178, He’s not responsible for making your sorry players not sorry.
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Fri Feb-08-19 11:18 AM
2687175, What will his next contract look like?
Posted by Numba_33, Fri Feb-08-19 10:42 AM
2687180, he saved Ingrams sorry ass with that shot
Posted by guru0509, Fri Feb-08-19 11:30 AM
2687181, bullshit: he saved the refs for the no-call...
Posted by CyrenYoung, Fri Feb-08-19 11:48 AM
..Ingram was clearly being fouled by Horford on the final play.





*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...
2687185, refs werent going to give the lakers that call in final seconds in boston
Posted by guru0509, Fri Feb-08-19 12:07 PM
11 points on 4/14 shooting is sad though and is no fault of the refs

2687188, Al Horford was blatantly holding Ingrams arm like a crossing guard...

he had a tough night (shooting/boards/FT), but made up for it in hustle. He's far from sorry, dude.

2687206, Definitely not worthy of the #2 overall pick bruh

2687507, Lol, Horford’s hand went through the net to block the shot
Posted by LA2Philly, Tue Feb-12-19 01:57 AM
Or are the refs not giving goaltend calls either late in games
2687192, His contract expires
Posted by bentagain, Fri Feb-08-19 12:56 PM
Unless the LAL end up actually trading the entire roster for AD this offseason

I expect Rondo to walk after the season so the Zo experiment can continue

but for now...Rondo's team.
2687207, BRON grabbed him and said: SEE? THIS HOW YOU STAY HERE!
Posted by Castro, Fri Feb-08-19 02:25 PM
2687229, LMBO! The whole locker room has to be weird because of what them...
Posted by Creole, Fri Feb-08-19 03:47 PM
cats know Lebron was up to.

Do they Mean Girl his ass now and stay away from him?

Do they kiss his ass to be sure they become kept players?

Like...

What do they do from here on out?

And as for Magic, they prolly don't wanna hear a damned thing he or Rob have to say.
2687230, Laughing Your Black Off?
Posted by Numba_33, Fri Feb-08-19 03:48 PM
That sounds quite painful, sir.
2687238, They aren't fucking with Bron no way....cuz it ain't just Bron
Posted by Castro, Fri Feb-08-19 05:14 PM
now Bron got Rich Paul as his tentacles. You could be on a whole nother squad and be involved in a transaction where Bron and Rich decide yo azz is getting 'Harrisoned' or maybe you want to leave and your team of choice won't sign you because of BronPaul...
2687215, seems bold for a guy on a one-year contract
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Fri Feb-08-19 02:55 PM
let's face it, the whole fucking roster could turn over around lebron overnight. just because it didn't happen yesterday doesn't mean it won't happen over the summer. i do like rondo though.
2687227, y'all really poplockin off that? SMH...i'll see y'all in a week.
Posted by Basaglia, Fri Feb-08-19 03:35 PM
2687237, calm down Tony Danza.

2687241, Enjoy Jimmy and Middleton
Posted by Basaglia, Fri Feb-08-19 06:20 PM
2687242, what happens in a week? Ky & Kang reuniting once again?
Posted by Vex_id, Fri Feb-08-19 06:45 PM
Hope you enjoy watching them fraternize once again, crack jokes, reminisce, and talk about the greatest title in NBA History.

2687422, luke sitting rondo against philly messed up the whole flow
Posted by Riot, Mon Feb-11-19 12:00 PM
genius move
2720824, Wow. This could be accurate.
Posted by Castro, Mon Sep-21-20 02:18 AM
2720826, why up it now?
Posted by ThaTruth, Mon Sep-21-20 07:22 AM
2720860, He has made the Lakers second unit viable, and they need that
Posted by Castro, Mon Sep-21-20 11:43 AM
to win a chip.
2720861, I will tolerate no more Rondo slander.
Posted by Ryan M, Mon Sep-21-20 11:52 AM
Of course, I myself am quite guilty of it - he was a net negative for some time. But I was absolutely wrong. Not only does he give the second unit a playmaker - which obviously gives Bron time to rest - he also has a serious connection with AD. I love Avery Bradley - but I'm not convinced that if he were in the bubble it'd be as good as this team is now because he'd take minutes away from Rondo/Caruso. Rondo is crucial to this team's success and I won't be saying a bad thing about him.
2720895, BWAHAHAHAHA!!
Posted by allStah, Mon Sep-21-20 01:50 PM
You and Brooklynwhat Argued with me that Rondo was washed as fuck, and that you were praying for Darren Collison to come to replace him. And in that same conversion you said Carmelo was washed as fuck too.

I explained to you his importance.

Now you want to be absolved....

Don’t you get tired of having to reverse? .. had to reverse on Lebron and now rondo.

Now I get to watch you cheer and root for them. Lol


2720901, You never answered my question. What year do you think it is?
Posted by Ryan M, Mon Sep-21-20 02:24 PM
Cause you literally said you don’t hear people talking about Kobe, a man who is not only deceased but who hadn’t played in 4 years, taking MJs throne anymore. What year is it, grandpa?
2720904, That’s not what that meant. And I know I look physically
Posted by allStah, Mon Sep-21-20 02:44 PM
And facially younger than you. I’m in my 40s. But you love to resort to personal attacks.

Anyway, I was stating no one ever mentions Kobe in that way since that noise was killed. No one mentions him as the goat as you guys were trying to paint him to be.

Why don’t you ever stick to the subject? That was in another post.

This post is about rondo.

2720913, You run away from questions you can’t answer.
Posted by Ryan M, Mon Sep-21-20 03:14 PM
Constantly.

So I just asked again. You asked me why I’m rewriting history or some nonsense because you...apparently don’t believe in changing your mind on things and own up to mistakes. You know. Growth.

Lastly - I call you old cause you’re hanging on to the past like an old dummy. I don’t care how you look or how old you actually are, dude.
2720906, he's even making shots now.
Posted by tariqhu, Mon Sep-21-20 02:59 PM
its crazy how he rarely looked this good over the past two seasons. not mad at it though.
2720886, :-)
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Mon Sep-21-20 01:29 PM
2720969, He's been on 🔥
Posted by Vector, Tue Sep-22-20 06:52 AM
Didn't realise how good he was until the playoffs.
2720993, Looking at SOME lakers fan reverse on Rondo and AD
Posted by allStah, Tue Sep-22-20 12:34 PM
is an early Christmas present.

This shit is great. And if AD gets MVP of the finals, man, I’m going
to drink eggnog for the first time in my life.

AD and Rondo doing game winning shit.

2720994, ^^ rooting for the lakers to own the libs
Posted by Ryan M, Tue Sep-22-20 12:36 PM
You hate to see it
2723188, Remember who said it first. Rondo cooked them in Game 6
