Rondo to join 2010 free-agent class

[Allanon]

Based off his 9.8 APG average in last years playoffs, no, Rondo doesn't need KG to put up the assists he puts up.

KG wasn't even playing. But Paul Pierce and Ray Allen were playing.

How does this change anything?

[mavs>spurs2]

Yeah, come up with some facts instead of ignorance, bro. Then get back to me.

Jeez your basketball takes are re ed. Rondo was having triple doubles out the ass last post season with no KG to pass to. Sure he has an aging Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, but D Will has Boozer, Millsap, Brewer. Tony Parker has Ginobili, Jefferson, and Duncan. Kidd has Dirk, Terry, and Marion. The point is, you can't take his triple doubles away from him for having teammates. You can't sit there and make what if's about what he would do and what type of numbers he "would" put up with other teams. All we know is that he dominates games with his defense and finds the open man while piling up assists and wins. Not to mention he's an underrated slasher and finisher at the rim. People have been discrediting him since his rookie year. Saying things like "will he be good enough for them to win it all or will he be the weak link." And then it was "he only looks good because he's on the Celtics and has KG." Well guess what, KG didn't play last postseason and Rondo was the best player on his team. Time to give the hate a rest fellas.

There's my facts. Now you come up with something other than your KG claim which has been debunked

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

KG wasn't even playing. But Paul Pierce and Ray Allen were playing.

How does this change anything?

Are you saying KG has not had anything to do with his assists?

That's my point!!!!!! He still averaged 9.8 assists when KG wasn't playing, so clearly, he doesn't need KG to get assists.

You're one stupid mother er.

I ask you then, does Rondo's assists have anything to do with KG?

[mavs>spurs2]

Is this a new trolling technique? Rogue is that you?

[mavs>spurs2]

You're one stupid mother er.

I ask you then, does Rondo's assists have anything to do with KG?

In last years playoffs, no. He gets assists and double doubles out the ass without KG. KG doesn't make Rondo. Rondo is a badass without him.

[mavs>spurs2]

At least we can all agree Rondo>>>>Fisher

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

But you can't fault him for needing Pierce and Allen (even though it's really only Allen, I almost never see him diming Pierce). Nash needed Marion, Amare/Diaw and Bell/Joe Johnson to lead the league in assists for three straight years, no PG in the NBA can rack up assists with bad teammates except for maybe CP3.

[Allanon]

That's my point!!!!!! He still averaged 9.8 assists when KG wasn't playing, so clearly, he doesn't need KG to get assists.

I said Rondo's assist stats are inflated because he plays with Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and KG. Is this not true?

Why are you all of a sudden pinning this all on KG? We all know he didn't play in the Playoffs. But Ray Allen and Paul Pierce did.

[IronMexican]

I'd take Parker over Rondo every single time. Both are good PG's though.

[Allanon]

In last years playoffs, no. He gets assists and double doubles out the ass without KG. KG doesn't make Rondo. Rondo is a badass without him.

When did I say anything about the Playoffs? Quote me.

I said Rondo's stats are inflated because he plays with Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and KG. If he never played with KG, you guys have a point. But KG was out with a freakin' injury in the Playoffs.

Now all of a sudden, Rondo's stats only occurred in the Playoffs. But during the regular season, did Rondo get assists off KG?

I never once mentioned regular season or playoffs, you guys are trying to cherry pick because your argument is weak.

Because he OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T NEED KG TO PUT UP BIG ASSIST NUMBERS, as evidenced in last years playoffs! Every good point guard has competant teammates to pass to! You're challenged. Rondo beasted that series and outshined every player on his team. According to last years playoffs, the Celtics need Rondo every bit as much as Rondo needs his teammates.

So fine, you admit he'd be good without KG and with just Pierce and Allen. How is he needing Pierce and Allen any different than Parker needing Manu and Duncan?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Theyre playing right now...

Rajon: 4/9/3
Paul: 19/7/3

I'd bet my life that Rajon couldn't lead the Hornets to the playoffs.

I never said Rondo > Paul. Paul is the best PG in the NBA.

Read the whole ing statement.

I said Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and KG. You cherry picked an injured KG.

Was Paul Pierce there? Was Ray Allen there?

To think Rajon doesn't get assist stats off KG is plain stupid.

Weak.

You're the one cherry picking, no thanks. Rondo doesn't need KG to rack up assists. Who cares if they played together for part of the regular season. It's irrelevant to his ability to rack up assists without him

[Allanon]

That's fine.

No different.

Peace brah. Too much re ed is giving me a headache

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

To think Rajon doesn't get assist stats off KG is plain stupid.

I never said he didn't get assists off KG, I said he didn't need to, as in if it wasn't KG, Rondo could just as easily be diming with another PF who isn't as good as KG.

[Allanon]

I ain't cherry picking . I said "Rajaon stats are inflated because he plays with Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and KG."

All of a sudden your weak ass cherry-picks an injured KG and leaves out the other two.

[Allanon]

I never said he didn't get assists off KG, I said he didn't need to, as in if it wasn't KG, Rondo could just as easily be diming with another PF who isn't as good as KG.

That's fine. As long as we realize he also had Ray Allen + Paul Pierce. As in my original statement. And when KG wasn't injured, he also benefited.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I'd bet my life that Rajon couldn't lead the Bulls to the playoffs.

I'd take Rose over him.

[Walt Kowalski]

What the you spooks doing?

[mystargtr34]

I haven't really understood that either. He's a top 5 pg and only getting better. Right now I'd only take Paul, Williams, Rose, and maybe Billups ahead of him. He's in a tie with TP for 5th. Dude's a triple double machine

No, just because I don't hold your beloved Tony Parker in such high regard as spur fan doesn't make it dumb. Basketball is played on both sides of the ball and Rondo is a badass defender, as well is a good slasher and passer. He >> TP in everything other than scoring. Rebounding, defense, passing, all by a long shot. Flame on if you want to

So, Rondo = Parker because Rondo's ungodly defense makes up for the rest of Parker' superior game... but then you go ahead and put Rose above Parker despite Rose being worse than Parker on that end of the floor, and Parker being the superior offensive player.

1. Paul
2. Williams
3. Parker

Daylight

4. The rest.

[DPG21920]

Anyone who says Rondo>Parker is dumb. You might say Rondo plays better defense than Parker or there can be certain parts of his game that are better than Parker's, but overall, it is not even close.

LMAO at saying you win an argument when Spurs fans bring up rings. That is like me saying you know when you have won an argument when another fan has to say "knobslobing" just because they say someone on their team is better, when they clearly are.

Trophies are not the only thing to look at, but when one has a finals MVP when he was playing with Duncan, that is something to at least take note of. It is clear that TP is better than Rondo, and that has nothing to do with being a Spurs fan. It is very clear.
