And I didn't even mention his defense, which is just bad, on and off the ball. |

This dude loves to hold on to the ball. Like when he passed up that wide open layup at the end, had to get a few more dribbles in. |

Since we play at the fastest pace in the league and we only have 2 PGs on the roster. Rondo is gonna get minutes.
He's always been ball dominant. That's who we purposely signed. It's not like he's going to start playing like Lonzo all of a sudden. And in some ways that's not a bad thing.
We aren't gonna change Rondo into a low usage catch and shoot PG all of a sudden. So we just have to find ways to maximize his efficiency on offense and effectiveness on defense.
Good news is. Since he's so smart, his play will probably improve as the year goes on. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better” |

Rondo's defensive woes are greatly overstated. He has the 2nd best defrtg on the team. |

With Rondo - 0-4
Without - 2-1
Lonzo without Rondo, plays better too. There's a reason why he's been a journeyman in this league. His defense isn't even that good anymore either. |

2 games in a row that Luke decided to run Rondo to the ground as if he's a Kobe esque closer. |

Just look at the # of assists Lebron and Lonzo were getting with and without Rondo.
Rondo isn't helping this team, he is hurting it, yet Luke is playing in 30 minutes a game. |

Lonzo is useless with Rondo out there everything that makes Lonzo great is nullified when Rondo handles the ball for 20 secs. Regardless of how good Rondo is playing, he won't play better defense than Lonzo. We need Lonzo to close games. Stop with the Rondo lovefest Luke, please.
Just think about it, if you close without Lonzo or McGee, who do you trust defensively out there? BI and that's it. Unless you trust Hart's man on man D which I absolutely don't.

Lebron with Rondo = 5.5 APG
Lebron without Rondo = 11.66 APG
Lonzo with Rondo = 2.25 APG
Lonzo without Rondo = 6.33 APG
This isn't some fluke. This is Rondo dominating the ball. |

Classic 'check my stats' player. His stats look nice but his effect on the game is not a positive. He doesn't make his teammates better and his defense is pedestrian. |

Can we please not play Rondo anymore, the offense just doesnt flow well with him and his defense is garbage. The offense flows so much better with Lonzo |

Luke played him way too long in the second half and he never sat after he came in. |

There was a reason why just last season, Rondo was considering retiring and becoming an assistant coach. But he had that Pelicans run and the Lakers offered 9 million.
Maybe I don't like the guy because he was a Celtic but he just doesn't fit on this roster. |

Rondo is our David Lee. Nice stats but the team is better without him. |

Lance is just as bad. over dibbling, dancing. There is no ball movement with him on the floor. He does push the pace some though |

The more I read about Rondo's problems with almost every coach he has had, convinces me even more that Luke is scared of Rondo. Hence all the minutes when they should be developing Zo.
Time to drop or ship him out before he causes too many problems, which pretty much happens everywhere he goes. |
