The Bulls say guard Rajon Rondo has been suspended by the Bulls for one game, tonight versus Portland, for conduct detrimental to the team.

Well here it is:

[dang]...

i'll always have a soft spot for Rondo in my heart, but what could it possibly be this time? the other day, he and Hoiberg were raving about each other and their relationship, and Rondo was talking about how playing in Chicago has been a lot better for him than Dallas.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

I can't remember a Celtic who I went from loving to hating almost overnight. (Many fans will say Antoine or Ray, but I still have a soft spot for both).

Most likely challenging Hoiberg in some form or fashion. Since his Kentucky days, he's had a problem with authority.  Think about it, someone with his dynamic skillset to go from a VITAL cog in a championship team to all of a sudden becoming a journeyman...there's a reason and it has nothing to do with his basketball abilities.

Fred Hoiberg said he and Rondo had a meeting yesterday. He wouldn't get into details on what happened.

Well, it's not all because of his basketball abilities, but if Rondo were still playing like 2012 Rondo his attitude would be overlooked.  He's reached a point now (well he reached it before he left Boston) where his talent can't make up for his poor attitude
I'm bitter.

According to Woj this is why Rondo got suspended:
Quote
@WojVerticalNBA: Rajon Rondo -- suspended for tonight's game -- had a "heated exchange" with a Bulls assistant in Mavericks loss, sources tell @TheVertical.
Quote
@WojVerticalNBA: Rondo apologized to the coach and accepted responsibility in the aftermath of Bulls suspension, league sources tell @TheVertical.

I liked Rondo a lot when he played for us. Seems like it has just gone down hill since Danny traded him to Mavs.

All of these shows what a great organization the Celtics is.

I always said when I left the Celtics, I could not go to heaven, because that would
 be a step down. I am pure 100 percent Celtic. I think if you slashed my wrists, my

Rondo is an asset on a very good team, and a liability on a mediocre-bad team. No one had issues with him when the Big 3 were here. Some thought he was a top 5 PG in the game.

I'm so thankful we moved on from Rondo when we could still get value for him.

Isaiah and Crowder are 1000x more fun to watch and root for than Rondo.

I was in my car coming hope from the train when the trade was completed, and I can still recall Adam Jones saying Ainge got "robbed" in the deal. Um, no.

Ray Allen keeps getting smarter and smarter, and Celtic fans who assumed look stupider and stupider.


Rondo was a headcase , people just did not know it. The big 3 were pro's but they knew what a headcase Rondo was, they just did not let it get to them or the team, as did Doc, not a great coach but he did hide the fact very well and kept him somewhat in check, again, as the big 3 probably did to a point.
