Wow. If that's the case we are title contenders. 

in this case soon = summer as opposed to training camp. No way hes back for game 7 of the finals ;)

Well if the report is true (and I'm not saying it is) A partial tear is an 8 week injury. He'd be back for the stretch run. Again, if the tear is partial and he elects to not have surgery. He has surgery his season is over. 

 

partial tear? he needs to share the ball ...partially!

Ainge already put that rumor to rest. Said no way will Rondo be back this year. He don't want Rondo doing any more damage then he has already done. I couldn't tell if he was talking about his Knee, or the team!!

If by soon then you mean late summer or start of next season, then sure, Rondo will be back soon. 

He should start some workouts with Che in August if all goes well...only thing is I think CheIsChe would hurt Rondo's assist totals as I seriously doubt Che can shoot the rock

Nice....

no way i'd bring him back too soon. see RG3.

In response to kaktug's comment:

Maybe bring him back in two or three years when he has matured into a team player. Of course after they trade him to another team first.

Please bye bye Rondo!

In response to scubber's comment:

Please say bye bye to Rondo!!!

The article had this to say

 

While the Celtics have managed to win games in his absence -- six in a row --  there's no mistaking that the C's are collectively a better team with the four-time All-Star.

 

I think the Celtics are better with out him

6-0 must mean the team got worse..

In response to Karllost's comment:

It's 6 games relax against below average competition. They won 6 games in a row with Rondo this year too.

In response to celtic213's comment:

6-0 is nice but its the way they played....dont you get it??

In response to Karllost's comment:

Apparently a win isn't really a win if Rondo isn't playing, leading his team to victory.

Its something like a fluke.

Don't you get it, Karl?

Last I checked the Clips and Heat were two of the best 4 teams in the game. LA is clearly having a joke of a season and is under .500, therefore below average. But they still CRUSHED a team with Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard.

Now if we only had that BS overtime loses back vs. Hawks, Bulls, Bucks and Sixers we'd be tied with Indiana for 3rd right now.

 

 

Rondo coming off the bench..........now that I would pay for.............can't imagine what kind of stone face you would see............wonder how many players would have conversations with him while riding the pines>.......could be worth the price of "omission"

In response to celtic213's comment:

No they didn't,  he got suspended for maybe the biggest win to date @ NY at the time.
