Jeremy Lin went to the foul line 13 times against LA. He must be better than Rondo at going to the hoop. -

Please remind me who was the last one in the NBA that scored 89 points in his first three career starts? -

In Response to Re: Jeremy Lin is better than Rondo:Right now Lin DOES look better than Rondo. But: your three game sample size is a little pathetic and very trollish. You realize the Houston Rockets gave up on Lin? It's not like he was oozing talent. But yeah, if he continues to play like this for a season or two, he's better than Rondo. That doesn't change the fact that we have a flawed team for any number of reasons right now. But nice job pointing fingers, I see you attracted the usual haters

Thanks BTS for pointing out the trolls and haters on this board.
No one does it quite like you, gurl!

Posted by ConnectingRodReally? He must be better than the entire Celtics roster because he does what no other Celtics seem to know how or want to do and that's drive to the basket. He's better than KG, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and JO. The only Celtic that continues to drive to the hoop is Rondo!!! -

Posted by ConnectingRodSoon you will realize that the entire team is flawed. They are not going to win it all, so why keep bashing one player. Will trading Rondo help KG hit a shot or post up? Will trading Rondo help Ray Allen's defense against DWade? How is trading Rondo going to help PP against LBJ or Deng? Will trading Rondo help KG get a rebound, make a bunny, box out, or post up? Will trading Rondo help JON stay healthy? -

Posted by jdm894gTrading Rondo for Pau Gasol will not make KG post up. But Gasol will post up and get more rebounds. Pietrus can and will defend Wade, Deng, and Lebron.Not trading Rondo will only result in more BRICKS! -

If your so passionate go on over to the Celtics practice facility and let DA and Doc know and tell them all your trade proposals.To be honest Fierce, THIS WHOLE TEAM SUCKS!!!! A bunch of jump shooting softies!!!!!But check my posts, I never said Rondo was the best PG or doesn't need to improve in some areas. Im just going to keep it balanced with criticism. I don't care if it's Paul, Ray, KG, or anyone on the roster.But then again, I'm not delusional in thinking this team can win it all with some tweaks or trades. THE WINDOW IS CLOSED AND NAILED SHUT!!! -

Posted by jdm894gNot true. The window is slightly open.I can't go to the Celtics facility because I'm not stateside.You want balanced criticism? Ray has been Ray since he came to Boston. Great shooter, bad defender. Pierce is still the leading scorer of the Celts. KG has declined that's why we need Pau Gasol. Rondo was a bad shooter 5 years ago and is still a bad shooter 5 years later. That's balanced criticism! -

That's true. But it's all about match ups. We just didn't match well last season or this season so far against the HEAT. -

Yes, the whole team sucks. The old three and all starting five are stealing money.
Jeremy is paid only a freaking $760K, less than half of what Averey Bradley gets paid, less than 8% of Rondo's pay, and less that 4% of KG's pay...
Every year after the all star roster is announced, they start to play like shiiit and lose. -

Posted by jdm894gWho are you kidding?You have TV or you just have radio for Celtic games?Mario Chalmers was CAMPING at the FT line against the Celtics in the playoffs last year. I mean come on! Rondo was 16 feet away from the basket and he still won't take the shot! Ugh!You beat the Heat with scoring. The Celtics never scored 100 points against the Heat in the playoffs last year. Even when the game went into OT in Game 4 the Celts still could not reach 100 points. We need more scoring from our starting PG! -

Posted by jdm894gSeriously man, plays only work if the defense is playing 5 vs. 5. When Rondo is in there it's 4 vs. 5. Like against the Lakers, you didn't see Kobe playing center field? The announcers kept saying Kobe is not guarding Rondo. Kobe is leaving Rondo open. Ugh!And that's one of Rondo's problems, when the going gets tough, he just stands around. Ugh! -
