    "Back" injury is simple code for "we wonder if Boston will take him back."

    yes sir. At first i wanted revenge on portland but I think Im enjoying this more. I dont know who i hate worse between Parsons or Cuban. I do remember when Cuban sent in those videos crying about Yao setting picks. I wonder if the price went up due to cost of living because they are doing Howard the same way. Whats so good about this is we are overcoming this horrible officiating.

    Rondo was kicked off the team. Wow I am so glad I was wrong about us needing to go after him. Morey please stay far away this cancer.

    I said the same thing. I thought Rondo would make us unbeatable. I also thought we should fire Mchale. Thank God im not the GM. I was right about TJones though. He didnt look too good last night so he will come back hard next game as long as he protects them two huge bazookas on his mug.

    How do you guys think D Fish would mesh with him? He obviously needs a hands-off kind of coach.

    Fish would be perfect since he doesn't really coach. Suits on point though.

    I wonder if Rondo started mouthing off to D Fish, if Fisher would throw a solid elbow to Rondo's chest.

    Look, it can go either way but if Harris can play, they are better equipped to play Houston. Barea and Harris will cause problems for Houston because neither of our PG's will be able to keep up.

    I still expect Houston to win but I think it's very important to crush this team in game 3. It's not going to be easy.

    Will this hurt his stock? Would not mind having him in rox uniform playing back up minutes ala JSmoove.

    What would be hilarious is if he joins the Rockets to play against the Mavericks. Lol

    meh. Harris and J.J. Barea are competent, but nothing more. Aminu could cause trouble for James, but he's a zero (or close to it) on offense. Their team offense is all going to be Dirk/Monta now, which could be a good offense, except (1) if you make Monta pass the ball he won't, and (2) Dirk can be badly exploited on D by ball-handling 4s like Josh and TJ.

    I like our chances.

    I guess Rondo doesnt care about the "TX rivalry".

    When you don't wanna tarnish your reputation in a series you don't think you can handle, you shut yourself down to end the embarrassment...

    Rondo is still a good PG. He really is just playing disinterested in Dallas. he would attack the basket probably in the first and second quarter depending on his mood and then when his stat is already acceptable(not so good but not so bad either) he'll rest. As an spectator you can actually sense it. Like he pushes his own off button. And Carlisle have no choice but to bench him. Its crazy.

    There's a few years of evidence now to say he's not that good.

    Rondo looked really good on a team with 3 hall of famers that played off the ball very well and thrived off someone that could get into the paint without wanting to actually score much himself. They played fierce defense which suited him well and he could create open shots for them.

    However, he can't fit next to a guy who needs the ball to create for himself and a lot of us said it from day 1. If Rondo doesn't have the ball in his hands, he's a complete zero on offense, a liability actually because his man can sag off him completely. You add that to his declining defense and his attitude problems and you have a bad basketball player.
