We could be heading for a Rondo vs. Wall matchup. Love the NBA playoffs in an otherwise dead period for sports...... unless you are a Hockey guy which I absolutely am not.
Farrrrrr Stevens ? No, but they look awful.

You could honestly turn a Rondo line into a Price Is Right game. Match the numbers to Rondo's stats tonight:

This is funny. Go Rondo you wonderful weirdo.
Love to see Stevens sweating and flopping. Sick of hearing about that guy. White guy with glasses coaching is always the best coach....
Outside of the ’98 title, successfully recruiting Rondo to Kentucky is one of the few lasting positive legacies of the Tubby regime.
Why is this brand of racism acceptable?
Tubby never recruited Rondo, Rondo's coach begged Tubby. Rondo recruited Morris and Crawford here.
That brand is killing the country right now but I digress.
He did take a team with one all star(at 5'9"), one declining, former all star, and a bunch of scrubs to the number one seed in the east. I'd say that's a pretty damn good coach.
Following is what the Chicago media thinks about this:
Rajon Rondo tells a Bulls-Celtics truth
Steve RosenbloomContact ReporterChicago Tribune
Yes. Well. He always did think of himself as an all-around player.
As the Bulls were pantsing the Celtics in Boston for a second straight game, Rondo was dishing off a franchise playoff-record-tying 14 assists, scoring 11 points and pulling down nine rebounds, nearly recording a triple-double on the floor where he ran the Celtics offense to an NBA title in 2008.
"(Rondo) was the key early in the game," Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said as the Bulls overcame a 7-0 deficit with a 25-8 run. "He got us good shots early to get us some confidence. That rubs off on all the other guys. He has been in big moments. "
Some of those big moments came against Dwyane Wade, now his teammate but then his mortal enemy in Celtics-Heat playoff blood feuds.
“I hated him as a competitor,’’ Wade said. “He knew all the plays. He messed up the first option, and then he knows the second option. We were good enough to have a third option. We can go to him and ask him questions because he watches film all the time.’’
Ahem, a lot of times, that the coach’s job, but then, this is the Bulls, this is Hoiberg and this is Rondo, who never met a coach he didn’t think he could out-coach.
On Tuesday night, Rondo settled for outplaying everyone. And out-talking everyone.
