LMAO harry callahan
Mavs fans, how was your offense being directed? Did Monta have the ball in his hands all the time in order for it to be effective or did someone else have ball handling duties?
It's a no-brainer trade for the Mavs, they didn't give anything up, and they got a big-name PG, filling a position they desperately needed to fill, tbh..
Rondo is a slightly above average player with fatal flaws, but obviously a colossal upgrade over Jameer Nelson and Fat Felton..still nothing to fear, though, his name has more impact than his actual game(and living off his 1 great playoff run in 2012 where his jump shot was on for the first time in his career)..
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! In our dreams.....
Rondo is NOT a perfect fit in Dallas. I like, dont love Rondo. I dont want him at max and if that is what he is seeking from Dallas to re-sign, God bless him and them.
Carlisle is the 2nd best coach in the NBA. I live in DFw and he is brilliant at maximizing players just look at what he did for Ellis. But Ellis and Rondo is a poor fit.
1. First if they play together that is a woefully undersized backcourt.
2. Ellis is most effective off the bounce and in pnr. Rondo is a poor shooter so the spacing will be off. now granted, Dirk's and CParsons shooting mitigates that some ...but spacing still not ideal.
3. Rondo is a stat padder who holds the ball so he can finish the play with an assist. Is an assist a bad thing? No, but unlike a Jason Kidd who willingly pushed the ball ahead on fast breaks and moved the ball freely Rondo is a Paul or Nash type prober that wants the play to finish off his pass.
4. Rumors are he was locker-room difficult with Ray Allen and Doc butting heads constantly. If anyone can work that out it's RC and Tyson but it could be an issue.
Last this is not NBA2k not every all-star collection will work out which the Lakers found out the hard way. again, I live in DFW and would love to see it work out but I have my doubts.
all that being said it's not a bad gamble ...but I thought the Mavs were just getting in their groove. I have been enjoying their games hope it works out even if I cannot stand Cuban's overmeddling Im smarter than everyone's ass. I actually liked him even met him but his arrogance is off-putting even if he is the type of drink with the fans type owner ...
Hope it works out Mavfan ...y'all re-staaaaaaaacked!!!!
It's generally been a pretty balanced attack for most of the game, then down the stretch it's Monta handling the ball mostly.
None of the PGs on the team seem to have the patience or ability to deliver a good pass to the post to Dirk, or anyone who has a mismatch. Early in the season, Parsons was constantly trying to post up mismatches, but no one really could get him the ball, so he has pretty much quit posting up. So hopefully this changes with the addition of Rondo. The offense should actually be a bit more efficient considering how little Nelson seemed to bring to the table, which is kinda scary to imagine considering it already has been one of the most efficient offenses in league history. It will be interesting to see how things work out.
Boston will be lucky to win 5 games next year.
Do they have enough time to sneak in? Would be an epic 1st round match up tbh.
IMO, this pickup was not really for the offensive aspect. And anyone who thinks that he is going to come in here and provide massive amounts of firepower, or anyone out there who thinks he is a guy to be scared of, is nuts. He is simply needed to fill some holes and play within a system, and likely won't be any kind of a standout or all-star type player. There are 3 glaring flaws with Dallas, all of which are strengths of Rondo.
1) defense
2) long defensive rebounds
3) proper ball distribution
If he buys into Carlisle's system, he will be a fantastic pickup for the team as a glue guy.
This, LOL ... Im guessing you just stating obvious or trollin' ...but still true.
OKC is in.
I believe they are already on the fringe of the 8th seed right now.
EDIT: only a 1/2 game behind of N.O. for the 8th seed.
Wow! That was well played Phillip.
I can't stand the Mavies so anything they do I wish for nothing but failure. I live in the Dallas area so I get to hear the propaganda all the time.
In the end -
UNO vs CINCO
Seriously, Dallas has a good team they got a little better today.
Because Kirby
Another WC contender gets stronger. Wow.

It was only a few days ago LA Media was hyping the breakfast between Kobe and Rondo
Spur fan wishing good things for Mavs fan, laughing at the woes of Lakers fan.
Didn't even check the standings. Assumed with their stars missing significant time, they'd be out of contention.
Ring count only matters when Spurs have the edge tbh ...
The rear is palpable in Houston and San Antonio ... so even if this doesnt work out Phillip, it should be fun.
And despite my disdain for Cubes I love him going all in her ...
Freaking ainge is a ty GM he has lots of picks and did rape Brooklyn but Celts still gonna be just as ty as Lakers with all those assets. Awesome.
BRB, going check lakerground.
Wow. Nice move by the Mavs, tbh. Just got more dangerous, and I already didn't like the matchup.
