So either Rondo dogs it or, according to the national media he's a "fierce competitor" who excels in important games. I think it's fair for Celtics fans to wonder why he couldn't give us a little more during the regular season. It doesn't matter that the team was bad, every player owes it to the fans to put forth some effort.
4 CHARGES!!! I was shocked when I saw that during the game. I couldn't remember the last time he did that in a green uniform.
I don't know if he was scared of getting injured during a contract year or simply didn't care for our rebuilding team but let's stop using positive euphemisms to describe his on/off switch. He was a great player for us, one of my faves - but only when he was actually trying.
Seemed he was wavering .....wanting to compete ...fierce loyality to fans ....but just couldn't bring it every game always knowing he was leaving anytime .
It was a hard fence to walk , play hard , please fans , empress suitors , and not let your teammates down who want to be winners . Young guys looking up to Romdo....he was in a bad position really.
If we could see Rondo coasting ....you know his teammates saw it too ....and that is destructive to a rebuild bunch of young kids trying to get better . I believe this is one reason coach and DA wanted to do the deal quick . If he wasn't committed ....it is disruptive to team moral .
