Rondo vs Thomas

[Jonny CC]

Remember all the wailing and gnashing of teeth when Rondo was traded.

Thomas is better. Much better.

Keep telling yourself that......you'll believe it eventually.

At this stage in their careers, IT is better overall player than Rondo and it's not even close.  You can't act like IT's performance so far is an outlier.  The guy has been putting up good numbers for a couple years now.  It's crystal clear that IT is on his way up and Rondo is getting worse.

The interesting thing is that many of us here couldn't even spell "IT", lol....didn't follow him before the trade.....and now, after 3 games (one this evening vs the World Beater Knicks) IT is now the greatest thing since peanut butter.

That's what happens when you get an exciting, explosive player in a Celtics uniform. 
I can't say that I watched a ton of Suns or Kings games but I was aware of IT.  As I said before, it's not like he's Jerebko and is putting up good numbers unexpectedly. He's been good for a few years now so it's not a surprise.  What is surprising is how he does it.   He's a flashy player so his style will generate a lot of buzz.  And that's not a bad thing.

And flies hovering around my head in the summer "Buzz", too....and they are annoying.

And they are fleeting. There one min - gone the next. A flash in the wind.

Are you saying that what IT is doing is a fluke?  Check his career stats...he's definitely not a one hit wonder.

And Danny will flip him for a bag of Doritos - just ask Rondo.

If he plays like Rondo and looks for a max contract, then you are correct....Danny will do the right thing and flip him.  Do you regret trading Pierce and KG too?  Danny is doing what is best for the Celtics.

Look, I like IT a LOT, but he can't carry Rondo's gym bag yet.

Hit the gym, fella...that is a HEAVY gym bag full of accomplishments.....Rondo's got a trophy, several defensive team awards and several ASG's in that bag.

And yet, over the next 3 years I'd much rather have Isaiah Thomas than Rajon Rondo.

Good.

Don't get too attached to him, if I were you.

I have no problem with Isaiah Thomas getting traded for someone who I'd rather have instead of Isaiah Thomas, either. Does that qualify as not being attached?

Someone is still bitter about the Rondo trade.

Awww....

The only thing you've proven is that your mostly Trollish posts are vague and difficult to follow.

Call me bitter if you want.

But I didn't join the Blog in Oct 09 to make friends. If I've became close to some posters like I have over the years, then great.

But I can honestly say that I've never compromised when it came to my feelings.

Apology accepted.

But I won't ever bend in my regards to Rajon Rondo.
