      Rondo is a cat the Lakers will miss come playoff time.

        I was just thinking the other day that I'd love to be a fly on the wall in that ATL locker room. Clearly Rondo went to ATL for money and money alone but I wonder if dealing with a guy like Trae is worth it to him?

          I can’t tell you guys how happy it makes me to see Marv Dracula slander being more widespread, how long is this man’s contract? TNT is supposed to be the premier basketball channel and they’re out here like the Sunday Night Baseball team.

              Yea clearly it was a $ decision which I'm never going to bash anyone for doing. Trae clearly is having problems mentally this year so its not a crazy theory to suggest that whatever Rondo is teaching him is doing more harm then good. Even if what Rondo is saying is the right thing. I don't like to speculate on things like this, but to me its obvious Atlanta has team chemistry problems.

              The decision to bring Rondo in made 0 sense from the beginning because him and Trae can't play together. Lets take last nights game Rondo played 8 minutes while Brandon Goodwin played 19. Brandon scored 2 points so it wasn't like he was on some kind of hot streak. Rondo just simply isn't good enough to get playing time once everyone is back healthy. That's only going to get worse when Kris Dunn gets back healthy. You also have Gallo and Bogdan who are both locks to play 20+ minutes when they return. Your also going to want your rookie 6th pick to get minutes at some point.

                  I'll take Dennis all day over Rondo myself.

                  Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

                  Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

                    Me too, he's part of the reason the Lakers don't have to play Bron/AD more than 32 MPG (so far)

                      Idk about that, sure Dennis can score better than Rondo but us playing them fewer than 32 MPG can also be contributed to the short turn around and all the other moves we made aka load management without having them sit out games like that other LA team. Not to mention Kuz being more comfortable and not forcing it, everyone seems to be making the extra pass and having fun.

                      Rondo’s ability to control the tempo of the game is “light years better than Dennis” and we needed that last night. No doubt in my mind come playoff time we’ll be missing Rajon, just having that extra coach on the floor and ability to create for others when Bron is resting was big for us last year. AD doing a good job at passing as well so far.

                      Rondo just knows when to slow the offense down and eat up clock which is what we should of done several times last night before blowing that lead. Dennis suffers from that Westbrook syndrome too much for me, love the all out effort but wants to play fast and at one speed all the time.

                            Jaxson Hayes sucks, from what I've seen. Very reckless, dangerous and doesn't really do anything well. Good athlete though.

                              They should probably stop putting the Pels on national television. This team is terrible and Zion's 2 highlights a game aren't worth putting them on over actual playoff contending teams

                                Guess we aren't getting 8 alley oop dunks per game from Lonzo to Zion like we were promised.
