I don't know if Rondo is saying some stuff on purpose to stick to the Celts , but he is not being "smart" with his words as of late
"I'm excited to play with great players and a great coach again (referring to Rivers)"
"I've been here 24 hours & I've probably practiced more in 24 hours than I have all season."
Or you can talk about all the great things he said about Boston having the best fans,a great organization and good players that work hard...probably doesn't fit the narrative tho.
Sure, but I think one can separate the obligatory platitudes he extended towards Celtics fans, from some of his others comments, which, rightly or wrongly, could be perceived as veiled shots at Stevens, or worse, indictments on his own work ethic... I'm sorry, I'm a Rondo guy, but I don't know how you can spin: "I've been here 24 hours & I've probably practiced more in 24 hours than I have all season" as anything other than:
a. a shot at his former HC
or
b. an admission that he didn't give his all this season.
