Members jhamnett Posted June 13, 2009 Members Share Posted June 13, 2009 Lets see, if I was on a team would I be more happy and willing to run if i knew my PG was going to pass me the ball, or if I had a crybaby PG that wants to score 20 pts a night. Umm... are you calling Rondo a "me first" PG? You gotta watch some tape, mang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orangesix Posted June 13, 2009 Members Share Posted June 13, 2009 Umm... are you calling Rondo a "me first" PG? You gotta watch some tape, mang. I've seen the tape. I'm aware that he almost averages a triple-double in the playoffs. But he just doesn't look like a true point gaurd to me. I still say i'd rather have Ricky Rubio over Rajon Rondo, hands down.

I'm a Celts fan, so I, likely, watch more Rondo than you. I'd never say he's "me first".Now, that second part, remember that when Rondo lights up Rubio next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, that second part, remember that when Rondo lights up Rubio next season I don't doubt he'd light him up.My argument is, at the end of the day, who is a more "true" point guard.and there's only a few of those still left in the game today. I can only think of a handful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wjbratcher Posted June 13, 2009 Members Share Posted June 13, 2009 God loves the Lakers, so I guess we have to love them too. They are one Howard free throw and one alley oop layup away from being down 3-1 to Orlando. But the Lord had to intervene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only think of a handful. Well, agree to disagree on Rondo. But I agree Rubio will bring another true PG to the NBA. They do need more of these and less Starburys. Rondo also busts his ass on D. Great defender. Rubio? I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IamBurnout Posted June 14, 2009 Members Share Posted June 14, 2009 Bryant and Iverson give basketball a bad name. Go to college, learn how to play a team sport, and enter the draft with some mentoring from an NCAA coach. I hope they lose in Orlando, and I wish Shaq would have still been on that team, even if just to technical Kobe with some well-timed goal tending. 76er's fan, with no AI.

Members Sad Darwin Posted June 14, 2009 Members Share Posted June 14, 2009 noit's really not Yeah, it was. When it does happen (in 6) it will be an asterisk championship, as I think everyone knows that if KG was healthy we wouldn't even be talking about this. Funny how one tendon changes everything.

Members Sad Darwin Posted June 14, 2009 Members Share Posted June 14, 2009 Funny or sad? Sad if KG hadn't won it last year, funny because I like laughing at Kobe Bryant and his ... ahem.... "victory". KG has an uphill battle next year, but the Celts are nowhere near done. MJ, Pippen, and Rodman where mid 30's when they were setting records and embarrassing other legends ({censored} you Karl Malone ). Celts 2010. This whole trip for Orlando has certainly made them grow as a team tremendously and I believe they have a championship or two in them in the coming years if they can stick together.

This whole trip for Orlando has certainly made them grow as a team tremendously and I believe they have a championship or two in them in the coming years if they can stick together. The one thing the Celts do have to worry about is their bench for next year. Davis, House, and Powe all need their contracts renewed. Looking at the ESPN trade machine, apparently Mikki Moore was signed for two years. I expect him to be traded (expiring contract). I doubt Starbury will be back, since Pruitt can fill his role at a cheaper price. It will be interesting to see what the Celts do in the offseason. If they can get a quality big with the money that was supposed to go to Moore and Starbury, I think the roster will look pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
