Charles Barkley went so far as to say Rick Carslisle shouldn't play him any more in the series.

 

[RussellPeters]

Even saw Chandler totally give up on Defense when he saw Josh Smith coming in for a dunk. When was the last time you saw Tyson just give up on a play and not go into a player? Is he hurt? The whole Mavrick team looks weak and soft.

I agree. You owe it to the other players to put someone out there who will try. Barkley used the " personal responsibility" phrase which was shot down by kenny smith and shaq. I mean, u have to blame rick carlisle for rondo pulling this shit right?

To whatever team signs this loser next year....I mean, serious, he should be cut ...before the plane lands tonight.

Rondo basically tanked for his 10 mins -- in a contract year, no less.

 

[PatsFan1283]

In Rondo's defense, he was trying more than you think. He has actually been this bad all year.

Think it is just mindfucking him that every single team doesn't even guard him now. He can't be aggressive and drive off that because he shoots 34% from FT which he is conscious of.

^ How far he has fallen.

He was always overrated playing with the big 3. No pressure and all he had to do was dribble around and wait for an open guy.
Now his inability at the FT line may actually ruin his career.

This is spot on. He wasn't good in Boston to start the year, and he's been even worse since he got to Dallas. His inability to shoot hurts their floor spacing and he's not the defender he once was. Dallas' offensive efficiency has absolutely tanked since the Rondo trade. He doesn't fit in Dallas.

Don't disagree.

All the teams are forced to be soft. The league does not allow much physical play, and therefore, much defense these days. These shitbags have determined they can sell the "take four steps" for the big dunk..... type of basketball now. Pathetic!

 

[ShortBusDriver7]

plus he had 3 positions of exceptional shooting in Boston. Now he doesn't necessarily have that. Teams sag off and he can't do anything

 

[boss415]

When i saw him sitting on the floor away from the bench that said it all!

Rondo will not play again for Mavericks


Fort Worth Star-Telegram (TNS)

DALLAS - Dallas guard Rajon Rondo most likely have played his final game for the Mavericks.
Rondo only played 10 lackluster minutes in the Mavericks’ 111-99 loss in Game 2 of the NBA first-round playoffs in Houston on Tuesday night.
On Wednesday, coach Rick Carlisle said Rondo hurt his back in the first quarter while trying to take a charge.
When asked if he expects Rondo to return to the team, Carlisle said, “No. I don’t.”
Rondo, who did not speak to the media after the game, is a free agent when the season ends.
J. J. Barea replaced Rondo with 6:54 remaining in the first quarter.
Rondo picked up two fouls late in the second quarter in a 7-second span. Then he went to the bench for the rest of the game with 11:26 remaining in the third quarter after he picked up his third and fourth fouls, and a technical foul.
On Tuesday night, Carlisle said it was his decision to finish the remainder of the game with Barea and Raymond Felton at point guard rather than bring back Rondo and see what he had left in the tank.
Rondo, who was acquired in a blockbuster trade with the Boston Celtics on Dec. 18, scored 4 points on 2-of-4 shots.
