Rajon Rondo May Be Back Friday vs. Lakers

[LT Profits]

But he could be on limited minutes his first few games back.

[jjgold]

He should help as long as 100 %

I might bet them next 10 games

[BigSpoon]

As soon as he proves he's healthy and producing they will trade him.

[DOM-Ganador]

If they trade him, Ainge will get a stud or 1st rounder. C`s have tons of picks banked so hopefully a player who impacts right away.
Rondo is a game changer who if he matures could make the right team a contender.

[Madison]

I don't believe people are truly understanding the dynamic here. You get a guy back who hasn't played in a year. Now, I'm a huge ANTI Crawford guy and he's the guy taking the fall here. I don't see him taking this professionally. Guessing here that there will be significant changes before the deadline for good or bad.

[Madison]

LT read today Anderson (Pelicans) out min 2 months likely for the year.

[Madison]

According to local heads Friday pretty definite.

[localdallasbook]

yeah - playing asap it seems.

[lunch]

Rondo instantly makes Boston better

[Madison]

yeah - playing asap it seems.

Apparently Friday.

My favorite NBA player. When healthy I'd take him over every single pg in league.

Hard to argue, he is probably the best true point guard there is (when healthy of course). A lot of the more popular point guards are more scoring guards playing the point.

[Otters27]

Celtics need something now. Wonder how long Brad Stevens lasts in NBA before he goes back to college

Chris Paul?

Look at his roster. I think you could honestly argue it's the worst roster in the league bar NONE.

He's actually done a good job in many people's eyes.

Yeah, Stevens has been great this season considering what he has to work with. Every night they play the opposing team has the best 2-4 players on the floor. That is until Rondo comes back obviously.

[LT Profits]

Chris Paul?

Yes Paul is great. Rondo and Paul are close in assist-to-turnover ratios so I'll give you that. So I'll revise my statement to read Rondo is one of two best pure points in NBA.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

he shouldn't rush back. boston's not gonna do much this year anyway.

[Cross]

Here is the reward for stashing him on that bench all year!

[Grits n' Gravy]

Hope he is ok with playing for a rebuilding team. Stevens will allow him to run the show. Just hope Ainge doesn't dump him for some draft picks.

[larrybirdkobe]

yeah he need to just chill penetrate around and get injured like d rose

[me-first]

also think he's become the best point guard in the league..boston has become very sad though..

[Madison]

After last nibhts trade god knows they don't need more draft picks. Somebody was joking "In the 201x draft picking 1st ... Boston, picking 2nd Bos, Picking third Bis, well you get the idea.

[Otters27]

I actually like the guy and hope he does well. Just saying lots of times college coaches sometimes find out that they dont like the NBA

Outstanding call, bye bye Crawford.

Yes but Stevens is already doing a nice job given his talent (or lack of). Let's see what the rest of the season brings with Rondo back and how much Brad likes his job then.

[Grits n' Gravy]

Wish some of Ray Allen's shooting touch rubbed off on him. All he is missing from being top 3 player in game is a decent j.

[Cross]

Does he get them to playoffs this year or tank mode still?

[jjgold]

Take Boston tonight
Don't worry about line

[Madison]

IMO tank mode. Rondo in body is one thing but not many players recover mentally right away. He may take some time to be the Rondo we used to know. Guessing Humpries next to go. They may have difficulty losing the next 2 to LAL and ORL.

God knows he's had a year to nothing but work on it.

I'm just guessing here but I think they've only won once by more than 7 in 40 games.

[Domestic]

We're all playing the over either way.

[MikeTizzy]

Boston havin great value these days, +4 the other day beating TOR at home very well.

[rm18]

They lose every night they were in first a couple weeks ago now like 7 games out
