Mavericks actually outscoring Rockets with Rondo off the court

[LA_Showtime]

Well, we had to trade Wright and Aminu is flat out better than Crowder.

We had no chance to win with our previous roster.


Clearly we should have not made this trade, but we had to make a trade for a point and it's not easy to find what we needed.

We took a chance and it didn't work, but it didn't hurt us long term or anything.

Had you guys used that money on Ariza, Thomas, and Meeks you'd probably be competing for a championship.

[StephHamann]

Beno fcking Udrih at this point is the better player.

Raymond Felton is better than Rondo at this point.

Bench Rondo, stop the Josh Smith to Dwight oop = win

[bluechox2]

he was benched in the 4th quarter last night and rockets put the game away...

Idk what Rondo problem is. A good team wanted him and he is out there clowning around for them. I feel bad for dallas, they should of kept washed up Jameer. Idk what franchise is going to want to pay him next year, at least not the money he could be making. I agree that a lot of Rondos offensive game over the years was because he was fourth option behind 3 future hall of gamers. However, once upon a time Rondo was also about as lockdown on defense for a point guard as it gets. Possibly best I have seen since Glove. Other people dont make you play defense, you either do or you dont. He still has it just doesn't want to do it in Dallas for whatever reason.

Very sad to see a player not giving his best. Sabotageing the whole franchise. And gets payed millions

[bdreason]

That said, it's not all Rondo. Ellis is playing like complete shit also.

People were calling Ellis an All-Star until Rondo showed up.

The Mavs offense relied on spacing and ball movement. Then they traded for a ball-dominant PG who can't shoot.

Rondo ruled out indefinitely after "back injury" from game 2

This is not true, Rondo was never a lockdown defender. He was excellent at playing the passing lanes and reaching in for the steals, but he was never a fundamentally sound defender, not on the ball and especially not off. Comparing him to Payton is a disgrace.

[Proctor]

A lot of people seem to think Rondo has regressed in skill. I don't think that's the case, I think he just doesn't give a shit anymore. Such a pansy.

DNP - Bynum Syndrome is more like it. Mavs should start Felton who is more than serviceable.

[brandonman]

What a ****ing joke. Even with Parsons and Harris not playing or playing hurt... We've still had good chances to win both games.

All Rondo had to do last night was play average and we win. Instead that mental midget **** quits off the jump.

Thanks Rondo... Just like Odom. Needed 80% of what they are capable of and they give you nothing.

How many minutes did Rondo play in the 4th and deciding quarter?

Why are you clapping it's just a two game simple size.

Bench Rondo, stop the Josh Smith to Dwight oop = win

Are they cloning Chandler?

[brandonman]

Are they cloning Chandler?

With Dirk on the floor and no other big to help Chandler, Smith and Howard will continue to rape Dallas

[el_locoteee]

Hope Carlisle has the balls to just sit him out.

How many minutes did Howard play whe Rondo was on the Bench thats the big question.
