Did you all see what Rondo just did?

[vinsane01]

I think it's pretty clear in the video that he prefers to get the assist than to get the points. And he wants to get more assists because that's how he gets his props.

Kind of a risky thing to do however. I mean the purpose of an offensive possession is to score, and if you have a wide open layup with no defender in sight would you pass it up to your team mate further away from the basket who has a defender close to him? Get real. Any other point guard would lay that in. The only way someone will pass that up is if they want to get fancy.

I dont hate rondo, quite the contrary, i actually like his game. But i do not approve of this play. It's unnecessary and is a clear indication that he just wants to add more assists to his APG. Not that there is anything wrong with that per se, but it may prove costly in certain plays. But ofcourse, if rondo can keep doing his thing and keep his team winning, i dont see any reason to hate on him for these kinds of plays.

He wants to win the assists title.

[MMM]

He wants to win the assists title.

I think he has that in the bag he is up by 2 APG or something like that

That is the dumbest excuse everyones been parroting. I'm sure a prolific shooter who started hot, then got Ded up, is going to feel a lot better after a dunk.

You don't see how scoring makes a guy more confident? You sir are a knobhead..... Allen shooting shooting confidence > Rondo Shooting confidence for a team...

[Fuhqueue]

It's not like he passed up an easy shot to get an assist for a harder shot.

Technically, it's actually a lower % shot when someone leading a fastbreak slows up and dishes off to someone else. The highest % shot in that situation is for the player ahead of the pack to finish the play himself.

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

Allen looked like he was waiting for Rondo to do a lay-up then started running when Rondo passed him the ball.

What was the score when he did this?

I don't see how a layup makes an elite jump shooter feel more confident. He didn't think this through. This is the most moronic excuse people have been vomiting since he started everyone that watched the game saw him pad his stats.

It's funny because in the next quarter he had a fastbreak layup and bricked it. Maybe the kid really can't shoot

[DeronMillsap]

Rondo won't be doing this in the playoffs, he'll get the easy 2 with a lay-up if this was a playoff game.

Celtics are so good that they're starters are just toying around out there. They've been trolling all season long too. i.e. those prank videos from the preseason, KG calling Villanueva a cancer patient, PP and Nate at MSG, PP's twitter on South Beach, etc...

They were down 8 or 9 against the Bulls at that time.

edit: my bad. But that's kind of even worse. Trollin' in a close game. I thought it was later in the game.

Padding at it's finest.

Oh well, 2 pts anyways.

Technically no Bulls player was anywhere near them. If Rondo's more bothered about assists and/or Ray is more bothered about FG% or points then the play made sense.
