how many of you posters have had serious basketball injury,ankle ,knee,shoulder or just a jammed wrist.One poster replied he had 30 games last year,that was so sad to watch as he struggled to get back with little lateral and vertical.he shows at times he still has IT but i bwelieve still gun shy and still in recovery process mentally>when he can go full tilt with no hesitation and start scoring at the rim---whats the rush anyway,he's got years left and he knows it-take your time rondo=
but even with this, a concern (not a statement that he'll-be-back, or, we-are-doomed-since-rondo-needs-a-wheel-chair-to-play) that is...well, more concerning, is the significant drop in his shooting percentages including free throws.
you may be correct and he may return to his previous flawed shooting standards, but looking at this year it is not ridiculous to discuss the possibility that rondo may now be damaged goods. no final and definitive statement is being issued here. rather, posters are raising the very real possibility that rondo's career may have started on the downside.
THAT is an interesting topic worthy of informed opinions that are open to learning and change. but ultimately, as is usually the case, no one here knows and only time will tell us the story. therefore, this is not about getting something "right" as much as it is to learn more and enjoy the discussion.
