Rondo has 22 assists halfway through the 4th quarter against the Knicks. Not sure why teams haven't figured out to back off of him 10 feet and force him to shoot.

This.

Dude is nasty though. I hate him, but he is easily a top 3-5 PG in the League.

Yeah. That's kind of what I was thinking. But there are the people who say D Rose and Nash and those guys are ahead of him.

Rondo was the best player on the Celtics last year the entire playoffs.

Terrible. I don't see how they can keep this up. Howard should have been tossed about 2 minutes into the 3rd quarter. He was much more demonstrative than James was there. He already had a very weak one too. All its gonna take is a few of the big stars to get tossed a couple times, and I would assume Stern would soften his stance a little bit.

Tonight in Boston's game Wilson Chandler of the Knicks hit a baseline jumper in Marquis Daniels face and turned around and clapped his hand really hard, sort of like a "hell yeah" gesture and he got a Technical foul .... Even the Celtics announcer Tommy Heinson just laughed at the call, calling it stupid.... Half the NBA will reach the 17 Technical's mark & 1 more resulting in a 1 game suspension by the All-Star Break.

Again, based off of what they have been calling so far this season, Howard should have received his second T of the night right there. Maybe they will be quick with the whistles the first time and then give players a little wiggle room after that. Has anyone been disqualified yet this year?

Did anyone see the Stephen Curry injury tonight? Eric Gordon literally broke his ankle I think. But no really, when I saw the instant reply I about threw up, and I'm usually not weak with injuries, but that was disgusting.

The one qualm I have with Rondo is plays on a team with four future hall-of-famers. I think it'll be interesting to see how he is when those guys retire.

I just saw the replay and while it looked bad all it really is is a rolled ankle. It was the same ankle that he has been having problems with. He was able to walk off the court on his own and will just have to continue to do rehab. There was no mention of anything too serious.

I'm a Knicks fan but I enjoyed watching Rondo play last night. Dude is monster. Definitely one of my favorite players in the league. I have a 9-0 lead in Yahoo fantasy hoops so far this week and he's my MVP.

Rondo is the best PG in the league, no doubt about it.

Oden-injury prone, can't help that
Conley will be decent
Cook-his game translates well to the NBA style he's fine
Mullens-I don't think he'll ever be more than avg
Koufos left because he needed the money

Can't really call any of them busts imo, at least not yet.

So Mullens spending more time in the D League than the NBA and Koufos leaving because he needs money excuse them from being busts? Come on. Oden to this point has been a bust. If he gets and stays healthy he will be a decent defensive center. I did hear recently that he wants an extension from the Blazers this year. Expect him to be traded before the deadline this year or not resigned after the season.

My opinion chief, sorry if it doesn't mesh with your view of the world. Not really enough time to say anything other than they haven't yet been a success.

Oden is most def a bust but I never expected him to be a superstar even at full health.

See I think were Oden healthy he would be in the top 4/5 centers in the league. If he can't get healthy then yeah, by default he's a bust.
