Yes or no.

I circled maybe

This is dumb.

I agree. But apparently there are a lot of people dumber than the poll. Did you answer it?

You're an idiot.

There's no middle ground with you. Rondo either goes balls to the wall straight at Shaq or has to be coaxed out of the locker room because he's scared.

You're an idiot.

Did I mention you're an idiot?

I mean I think Rondo is going to drive regardless of who's in there, but Shaq is a 7 foot monster and you're entirely clueless if you don't think he has an effect on the game.

Answer the fuggin question. The issue is black and white. Is Rondo afraid of attacking the basket or isn't he?

Calling me an idiot 3 times pretty much proves that you've lost the debate.

Where did I say Shaq has no effect on the game? I asked a question and you answered it. Why the bullshit after comment?

The fact is....when shaq's on the floor, the opponents will drive the hoop more...not less.

You're not intelligent enough to understand the damn question you're asking. If you think that a guy that got buried in the hardwood by a 7' 325 guy late in the game isn't going to at the very least THINK about being buried again then you obviously lack enough grey matter to comprehend the simplest form of human nature.

You don't deserve a fuggin answer...

Yeah because when a 7 foot immobile monster is hoarding the paint the first thing on my mind is to drive right at him :rolleyes:

I wouldn't say he is afraid, but the thought of Shaq coming over to knock him on his ass will definitely create a little doubt in his mind. Do you think he enjoyed getting tossed around like a rag doll Saturday night?

The little rag doll had his best game as a professional in a playoff game. I don't think he gives 2 shits about getting hit in the lane.

Why don't you and your cabal here find a google search and quote where the Celtics are now afraid of driving on shaq. Go ahead...I got all week.

You have the immobile part right. Pretty easy getting to the rim with him on the floor. It's been going on all year. Either lay it in...or go to the line and shoot 2. What a deal, eh?

You are a fool if you think Shaq's presence in the paint has no impact on people driving to the basket. He isn't afraid to take the hard foul as he did Saturday. If Rondo takes too many of those hits, he won't be playing the whole series.

And you sir are an asshole. I asked if he was going to avoid driving to the hole. Well guess what? He's going to drive to the hole every fuggin time. He won't think about it or worry about it. Basketball players are not afraid of getting hit.

So don't lay this crap on me that shaq somehow is winning through intimidation. Because that is utter bullshit.

People will drive to the hole MORE than LESS...because getting to the line is what point guards want to do. Another idiot on these boards.

***sigh***

you fuggin' bore me....I'm goin' to bed.

You are an angry man.

That would be true except he shoots FT's at around 62%. I think him shooting a lot of FT's would be to the opponent's benefit.

Did Shaq shit in your Wheaties or something?

Forget about his 3 triple doubles during last year's playoffs?

Also has had games of

29 pts, 7 assists and 9 boards (loss)
28 pts, 11 assists and 8 boards (Win)
21 pts, 8 assists, 7 boards and 6 steals with 1 turnover(Game 6 and final game of the NBA Finals...)

None of this games were against teams with Shaq.

You're such an incredibly stupid mother fucker. It baffles me that you expect people to bow down to your bullshit when you make yourself look like a hypocritical prick in your own bullshit thread.

Get a clue man, you've sold out on too many wrong answers and everyone pretty much knows that you're a FUGGIN dumbass.

Rondo will continue taking it where he needs to to try and help his team win. I don't think there is much of a fear factor there.

This is pretty entertaining....Aside from Swamp Fox (not saying your opinion is incorrect, just using you as an example), just about everyone else has indicated that Shaq may have potentially caused some doubt / fear in the mind of Rondo with the hard foul. However, instead of accepting someone else's opinion and letting the numbers speak for themself, Footwedge insists on wedging his foot down his mouth and telling each person individually that they are wrong. We should rename this thread "Fascist Germany" with Footwedge as the dictator - ordering each person what their opinion should be and telling them when they are right or wrong.

The wheels on the bus (short bus) go round and round, round and round......

This question is so flawed that it doesn't deserve an answer.

Getting desperate Footy?

1) Jamison trade going to kill Cleveland LMAO

2) OKC over LAL LMAO

3) Shaq not playing more than 18 mpg after the Chicago series in the playoffs LMAO. THE ONE WHERE YOU BLATANTLY IGNORED MY BET.

4) Thinking he was the 1st person to say that Mo Williams must score for Cleveland to win it all LMAO

5) Saying the Utah Jazz, who cannot win shit at the Staples Center, will beat LAL ( future) LMAO to be proven in 3 more wins.

6) Saying last years Cavs team was better than this years version (future) LMAO to be proven in 7 more wins.

I could go on and on if you guys would like, just so you can imagine what type of individual we are working with.

But to somewhat answer this idiotic and extremely flawed question. Rondo will still go to the basket but I think there will be some hesistancy and his shots will then be altered.
