RONDO first game with Dallas about to Start

[Who]

Austin Daye is such a tease. So much talent but he has no idea how to use it. Such a shame.

[Ogaju]

Seems like Rondo has been sitting for a considerable period of time.

All the Rondo hate (Tanguay's Army) reminds me of all the Lebron hate...   

Both are championship-caliber players, both HOF bound, not to mention every great player would love to play with either of them.  Remember: Great players need to play with great players to be truly great.

Rondo looking a bit nervous in first minutes, to be expected, but had a few great high bball IQ plays.

Derek Harper is the Mavericks color guy, and he is waxing poetic about Rondo. He says he likes the deal even if Rondo is not a scorer. He said anytime you have a chance to get the best passer in the league you go for it. He likes it!!!

... Mavs didn't need the best passer in the league.   They already had the highest scoring and most efficient offense in the league.  Rondo has the potential to hurt them.

 

.... it's true

There's nothing wrong with adding more star power to the team.

Brooklyn might have something to say about that lol

Yeah...

Rondo can either have a J-Kidd like impact or a Stephen Marbury like impact.  Simply being a star doesn't matter.  Remember when the Mavs traded for Antoine Walker?

Another thing: Rondo has looked comfortable shooting midrange jumpers recently, no matter the percentage.  I just hope Dirk gives him a lesson on consistent free throw routine, i.e. taking your time, same routine every time, etc.

Go Rondo and Go Mavs!

Rondo will be fine, he can help the Mavs.

Good pass by Rondo.

[Ogaju]

Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Rondo fast break back pass to teammate for a slam dunk.

He is already entertaining the Dallas Crowd.

My bad, FUTURE Hall of Fame inductees... (as long as RR stays relatively healthy for another 5 years or so)

No, it was a legitimate question. Has he done enough to be considered that right now?

[Who]

Rondo with the offensive rebound. 4 rebounds in 10 minutes already.

[jpotter33]

I notice Rondo's flops alot more now that he's not a Celtic... 

[Ogaju]

HAHAHAHA the Dallas crowd is going 'WOW' to routine Rondo passes.

Not trying to be snarky, but there definitely can be something wrong with it


Someone said Brooklyn, and also Lakers of a few years ago


Rondo isn't necessarily a plug and play kind of star
