    Rondo very stubborn

    Really needs the chains off of him to thrive

    He is rich, has a ring and does not care about anyone but himself

    Should fit perfectly with LA LAKERS next year

    but at least he is not careless with his money like some or most of the NBA stalwarts. smart enough to have gone into the league to make money and hang on to it

    rondo would do better on a garbage team. Dallas has too much talent for a player like rondo.

    Funny how they made a nice comeback AFTER he was benched. LOL. The guy is a jerk. Next he will go back to throwing balls at the ref's head.

    Yeah he doesn't have the best attitude. Alright, actually his attitude could easily be compared to a pissed off Rhino...but he can get things done and make plays happen on the floor when Dallas may need it, especially during the playoffs. And at the end of the day, the Mavs want that Championship ring, that's what it's all about. So, you put up with players who have unique talents because someone like Rondo can be the unique talent to make that push towards winning it all.

    How do you know the coach wasn't saying something really dumb or that didn't make sense.

    Always thought rondo sucked.. the guy holds the ball likes hes holding his nut sacks.. kill a lot of time and kill momentum. Bad shooter as well.. dallas was a high scoring offense before him.

    He got a ring playing that way, he's a true pg who knows how to get guys open shots, Chris Paul wad the same way but Doc has them speeding up and doesn't want Paul to hold the ball long.

    Slower play works in the playoffs

    Teams that run up and down the court usually fail

    They'll be happy when they have Rondo in the playoffs. That's when his "a" game comes

    Carlisle appears to be trying to yell out a play every possession like its college or something, Rondo is a four time all-star he doesn't need you to do that on every possession and you're not actually playing and don't have the feel in the game. Jason Kidd used to get into it with Richard over this also so its not just Rondo, let the pure pgs play and save your little plays with guys like Devin Harris who may need that from you.
