Last thing an I'm done.. I haven't seen anyone disrespect his Reb/Def, ever.

Please, enough with the being able to win an NBA championship point. I didn't bring it up and only responded to what someone else said to me. I don't want that to be a part of my point.

for a PG shooting the 3 well is >>>>> rebounding

EDIT: for example, if Rondo started rebounding at normal pg averages I doubt there would be a very noticeable effect on the Celtics rebounding as a whole. Where as if he started shooting 3's well they would be fundamentally different on offense, with many more options to run

omg lololol. you just placed the blame on our struggles this season purely on rondos "poor" shooting. jesus. i doubt you watched a single game of the celts besides the playoffs.

what works for me is that i dont respond in threads i know nothing about and subjects i cant speak intelligently on. that way i dont look like a giant ******.

True.

But, there is a difference between lack of respect (neutrality/underestimation if you will) and disrespect.

he actually didn't do that, but wtv, reading comprehension would get in a way of any good rant

another idiot..

Is it not clear the Celtics would be a better team if their POINT GUARD could shoot from the outside? I'm not exactly blaming Rondo for their season, he's obviously their best player at this point. But if he was able to score from beyond 8 feet, it would change the whole dynamic of that team.

If the excess of greater-than signs means much, much greater, then I disagree. I will agree with one greater-than sign.

I do think that the separation between CP3's ability to shoot 3's and Rondo's is smaller than Rondo's ability to rebound over CP3's. So that kind of comes into play... but goodness I am digressing and going deeper to places in which I did not want to go.

sorry, I edited that post to expand a little on the idea

give me a break. paul is a good shooter and a very good rebounder. rondo is a very good rebounder and a terrible shooter. just straight up homer talk. you aren't even trying to be objective

OK, and the cavs would be a better team if mo williams could bang down half court shots with a 100% FG %. lets say obvious stuff about how if a player does something better, the team will get better. you are talking like rondo is a god damn liability because of his shooting. the correct way to look at it is that rondo's rebounding, dribbling, passing, speed, quickness, toughness, fearlessness, basketball IQ makes us a much bettttter team. if he didnt accel at all those things, "it would change the whole dynamic of this team".

why stop at halfcourt? at the opposite 3pt line no one has a prayer

if pg's around the league were hitting half court shots with 100% efficiency then that would seem reasonable

I agree with the edit. It's just that rebounding is soooo important in basketball and a lot of people don't grasp that. If it's not being done by other players, then it becomes exceedingly important for the PG, which is the case on the Celtics.
I don't know man; I just straight up disagree with this. Chris Paul is not a 'very good rebounder.'

you are mistaken. the stats reflect this and on top of that paul is widely regarded as an excellent rebounder. tbh i'm trying to figure why you think he isn't

lol you guys are such terrible trolls, if you want to get your troll on, i can actually refer you to a guy that taught me everything i know, hes top top in his field. PM me for more info.

and then

vegas disagrees. they are +2000 to title.

Chris Paul averages more rebounds than Rajon Rondo.

WTF is wrong with you?

Like seriously, stop sucking up the forums. You and the other guy are making Celtics fans look like damn ******s. Epipen cannot appreciate this.

AND


Rebounding is NOT a huge factor for PG's

Rebounding(Offensive and Defensive) takes away from fast break points. It leaves them under the basket instead of leaking out to lead a break.

You should NOT be looking for your PG to get a bunch of rebounds. That means there is a problem with your team. Your PG should get some, and it is better if they do, but if they are focusing on it then it is a problem. You guys are highly overrating how much Rondo's rebounds mean to a team. Its the same as LeBron. He gets half his rebounds from his own big men who could have gotten them. It would better serve him to lower his rebound total some(esp in situations I just mentioned) and leak out more on fast breaks.

Just trying to have some conversation here. What is it with people attacking others on here? What is wrong with you?

The fact that he averages more rebounds than Rondo does not really mean that much, and I hope you aren't saying that you think he is a better rebounder than Rondo.

I don't think I've said too much on here that is very out of line.

Are you reading all of these posts in this discussion or are you just picking out ones that are easy for you to attack?

Rebounding is imperative, and it really doesn't matter a whole lot who does the job. If you had the choice you wouldn't want it to be your point guard, but if it is, it is.

lemme teach you failed homers how to homer and homer well.

When your players skills are questioned by proof and stats, don't reply with nonsense, instead you can say:

1. RANGZZZZ
2. higher WIM
3. Clutch

EZ gm fellas

wtf?
