Rondo rumor on where fracture actually happened

[blink]

Sorry, but I don't know how anyone can NOT at least be a little skeptical of this shower story?

A grown man slipping in the shower and breaking his hand?

Really?

And it just happens to take place as training camp is set to being??

And by the way I also don't think Rondo was in a fight nor do I think he hurt it on a trampoline.

I think this could be more related to the fact that "hey, the team's going to suck, why win more games than we have to, so let's sit our best player for the first couple weeks, or month, or 2 months." Then, magically Rondo looks healthy in time for the trade deadline and is shipped out.

I think what was written above is a possibility.  Let's not forget about a week ago, Wyc came out to the media and said Rondo is "stubborn, difficult to coach, mentioned Doc Rivers name (i don't know why his name was even mentioned)" that could of upset Rondo and his camp.

There could of been an argument/disagreement. In the end both Wyc/management and Rondo/Agent agreed, to let Rondo stay home for a few months.  From the Celtics perspective , this is ok as Smart gets to show what he has.  If Smart is lost, struggles,is looking like a bust then once Rondo comesback and if he plays well, the team can focus on Rondo as the teams pg for the LR. Smart could be traded. If Smart exceeds expectations and plays like MCW did last season, then the team can look fwd to trade Rondo at the deadline (bc he will not be offered the kind of money/years he is looking for).

For Rondo's camp it's ok for him to sit bc it's up to Smart to prove himself on the court. If he can't, they will now how much the team willl need Rondo.  Also you are getting paid still and there is less chance for him to get reinjured before the trade deadline.

This is absolutely silly.  Rondo, the celtics, and the team gain nothing from RR missing time this year.  This 'conspiracy theory' stuff is a serious stretch.

Rondo is very injury prone.  Stuff like this is inevitable regardless of how it happened.  His brittle body has a tendency to break down in various ways.   He's missed like 100 games over the past two seasons.

I still don't classify him as injury prone.  If he gets another major injury in the next 2 years, then I will.

last four years Rondo has missed 13 games, 13 games, 44 games, and 52 games.  That is 3 separate injuries and he now his 4th in 5 years.  That is pretty much the definition of injury prone.

  Two of those 3 injuries were a sprained ankle and a sprained wrist, both of which kept him out of the lineup for 2 weeks or so. "Injury prone" is a stretch.

Rondo isn't "Injury Prone"?!?  Sorry, but Rondo is the definition of injury prone.  I don't care if it was a sprained ankle or a sprained brain, he has missed a crapload of games.  For the record, a crapload = 13+13+44+52+ whatever 6-8 wks amounts to this year.

  Before Rondo's knee injury he'd played for about 6 and a half seasons plus over 90 playoff games. He'd never had an injury more serious than a sprain, he'd never missed as many as 10 games in a row due to injury and he'd only missed more than 5 straight games twice. His current injury might not cost him more than a few games either. That's hardly the definition of injury prone.

You also forgot the dislocated elbow in May 2011 that would've put him out of action for a long time. I agree with you earlier in his career he was a model of health, but things change. The fact remains that he's now had 3 significant injuries in a little over 3 years and recent history gives him that injury prone label. Same thing happened with Bird. He was basically an iron man his first 9 years and then his body started breaking down.

While more than a month and a half has gone by since he dislocated his elbow, Rondo still needs more time before he will be able to get on the court and play basketball again this offseason.

“He’s not 100 percent yet,’’ said president of basketball operations Danny Ainge on Wednesday afternoon. “He’s probably about four weeks away from playing basketball full speed. But he can do some training and conditioning right now.’’

I'm no doctor, but I don't see what happened with Rondo's elbow and whatever happened with his hand as predictive in any way. That elbow situation probably would've made Karl Malone's elbow bend backwards. People break their hands commonly, they heal, and then they never break them again.

The knee? We'll see. I'm not concerned with future injuries so much as I'm concerned with him never being the same again. At least it's not a situation where he's got no cartilage left....

last four years Rondo has missed 13 games, 13 games, 44 games, and 52 games.  That is 3 separate injuries and he now his 4th in 5 years.  That is pretty much the definition of injury prone.

  Two of those 3 injuries were a sprained ankle and a sprained wrist, both of which kept him out of the lineup for 2 weeks or so. "Injury prone" is a stretch.

Rondo isn't "Injury Prone"?!?  Sorry, but Rondo is the definition of injury prone.  I don't care if it was a sprained ankle or a sprained brain, he has missed a crapload of games.  For the record, a crapload = 13+13+44+52+ whatever 6-8 wks amounts to this year.

  Before Rondo's knee injury he'd played for about 6 and a half seasons plus over 90 playoff games. He'd never had an injury more serious than a sprain, he'd never missed as many as 10 games in a row due to injury and he'd only missed more than 5 straight games twice. His current injury might not cost him more than a few games either. That's hardly the definition of injury prone. 

And here we see BBall Tim in his natural environment, defending Rondo against even numbers themselves. He's missed a lot of games, get over it.

Don't bother Tim. He becomes very sensitive if anyone says one negative thing about Rondo.  Rondo can do no wrong.

  I'm sure the other kids at recess find things like that to be amusing, but it doesn't add much to the discussion.
