Did you all see what Rondo just did?

[pete's montreux]

The record is 1,164.

He has 336 right now. not happening.

Aside from the fact he was padding those, sure.

So because of one play he padded every single assist this season?

You Rose fans are so unbelievably desperate It's not even funny.

If that's not stat-padding then I don't know what stat-padding is

Even Ray-Ray was surprised. He looked pretty awkward scoring that ball.

Nope, apparently his "assist of the night" for a wide open Ray 3 was stat padding too.

I guess he didnt hurt anything. But it is pretty...odd...that hes clearly thinking of his numbers at a moment like that.

Ive often seen him drive and meet just the least bit of resistance and try to dump it off for a 3 or wrap a pass around a guy to a teammate in no better position than him. Its been kinda odd...but I didnt expect him to make it that obvious.

On one hand...I remember Lebron doing that once. In his first game in fact. Wiiiiiide open on the break he dumps it off to Ricky Davis trailing. But id say he was just trying to establish that he would be unselfish. Didnt get the feeling he was just out for the assist. Plus Ricky was running hard and I think Lebron was at a dead stop and just handed it off. Rondo slowed down and threw the pass well behind to a guy who was himself slowing up seeming to expect rondo to make the simple play.

Its pretty innocent as far as stat padding goes. But it was obvious as hell. Does put a little bit of a question mark on some of his totals. But....eh.

If you dont judge him by the numbers alone to begin with it shouldnt much impact your opinion of him.

It was kinda weak though. Stat padding always is...but especially when its made THAT obvious. Just kinda makes me wonder..."What are they doing out there? Playing for numbers or wins?". Luckily Rondos play style doesnt allow for genuine questioning of his goal. He wants to win. Goes hard to do so.

For the most part he plays the way id like to see out of more guys.

Its lame...but its not that major I guess.

What he doesn't do this alot? He always slows down to pass it off to someone for the assist. When he's pass the ball he rarely looks to attack, just patiently looks/waits till a someone gets open and he can get assists. A blind man can figure that out.

If you honestly don't think he does it at least once or twice a game, you're stupider than I gave you credit for.

And another thing. like I said in the GT. It's one thing if he passes it to Ray and Ray shoots the three, because if he misses....Rondo can get the rebound boom two points,or at best three. instead Rondo stayed out behind the free throw line even, and ray went inside for a dunk or layup I don't remember which.

Now that would have been great.
Rondo passes to Ray for the three.
If he misses, Rondo would still have time to get the board and lay it up.

But... He would have missed an assist

Exactly. it's the smarter play.

[Duranthebest]

Strangely enough, I don't have a problem with what Rondo did. Him holding on to the ball for too long waiting for that perfect assists is my gripe with Rondo. If he wants to give an easy one to one of his teammates, so what?

[jdm_dc_fan]

Sometimes I swear the celtics don't care if they lose to shitty teams. They only bring their A game for certain teams. Anyway rondo saw a win win situation. I would have done it too.

If you replaced Rondo with Kobe you would have 20 pages. Just saying.

How did this crap even get to 9 pages? Ricky Davis shooting at his own rim probably didn't even get this many pages

if u replaced rondo with lebron u would have 60 pages.

[ace_gold_26]

I dont think you people understand basketball he did it to get ray allen going sometimes a easy layup gets you going.
