Comments From The Other Side - Bulls, Away - Playoff #4

I thought my point was pretty obvious. I disagree with the statement that the only reason the series is 2-2 is because of the Rondo injury. I`ma let it go now, though

As big as Donald Trump's ego.

JR,

We might see if you're right tonight. Rondo's cast is off and there is conjecture he will play Game 5.

Now the word is that he won't. In addition to the thumb he has torn ligaments in the right wrist. I think the cast only came off so he could give it a shot. I think he took a shot and they said nope. This is a guy that tried to play with a dislocated elbow so his toughness is never an issue, contrary to what some of the idiot Bulls fans think.

Thanks for the update, AT.

Yeah, they're idiots.  I'd bet real money that if any one of those "tough guys" even sprained their thumb, much less broke it, they be crying like babies.

From our perspective, and not wishing this upon Rondo but just evaluating what impact this news means to us, it's as good as it gets.  Every game where we don't have to face "playoff Rondo" is a game we can definitely win because bench players like Zipser and Portis won't get fed the ball at their sweet spot like Rondo would do for them.

you have a great avatar, thanks for enlightening me that Rondo played with 3 HoFers and Posey and House and didn't have to score....we all didn't know that....???? good point, guess leading the league in assists without Big 3 in Boston wasn't an accomplishment. You act like hes got nothing left, meanwhile last year he ALSO led the league in assists.

Now you are creating strawmen and arguing with them. I never said Rondo couldn`t play. You DID  say that his injury was the ONLY  reason the series was tied and I disagreed with that proposition. Either its a reading comprehension thing or you are being deliberately obtuse. Either way,your need to be right, even if it requires twisting my words, has gotten tiresome. Believe what you want and I`ll believe what I believe. Just don`t put words in my mouth. Please and thank you.

I just wanted to prove hes not done and had an impact, big impact for his team. Good day bro.

Rondo just rescued his career and possibly the opportunity to coach in the NBA. I didn't like the outcome of those first two games but I loved seeing playoff Rondo back on the court. I hope that next year he plays at this level again. Those were two games by an elite pg. Just an opinion but i think Rondo knows the plays of every team he faces. It's called study and work ethic.

I am not now , nor have I ever been a Rondo hater. Sorry if I gave that impression. I too hope he does well in the future and appreciate what he did as a Celtic. I guess I felt the present crew was being sold short. Its all good. I certainly don`t want any hard feelings over a basketball discussion.

all good I really like your avitar
