glad he's doing well.  loved watching him in green -- especially playoff Rondo.

would love to see playoff Rondo show up in the playoffs whether it's against us or not.  if it is against us, we should be good enough as a team to overcome that.

Can you imagine if the Playoff Rondo - Jimmy Butler - Niko Mirotic Bulls beat the Celts in a 1-8 or 2-7 matchup?

How toxic would the media narratives be about the Celts following that?

Good for Rondo. Make a big push at the end of the season/playoffs and trick some poor team into paying him big money because "See? He's still got a lot of game left." Only to discover his game still doesn't fit in the modern NBA and his ball dominance still makes it difficult to play with him.

I love Rondo, I want him to see him keep getting them checks.

Well as much as I still love Rondo, I would have to say that Mirotic's play has been even more important to the bulls recent good play.  If he can keep hitting the 3 ball like he has been doing the Bulls become a much more dangerous team.  The two teams I would want to avoid in the 1st round would be the Bulls and Bucks.
