Rondo's Streak of 10 assists or more in consecutive games is still alive...

[brandonlec]

I just want to remind everyone of that.

He went 24 straight games last year in the regular season of 10 or more assists. The streak was put on pause when the season ended and the playoffs began. His streak is for the regular season, not the regular season and the post season together. Like all other stats in the NBA, regular season streaks and stats are distinct from post season streaks and stats.

He had double figure assists tonight once again, so the streak is at 25 now.

Everyone forgot about his historic streak once the playoffs began, but hopefully this catches fire in the media again. It deserves recognition. :)

[murrke03]

wait its a regular season streak? playoffs didn't count? or it stopped in the playoffs.

What is the record?

Or is he currently setting it?

[murrke03]

It's a regular season streak.

did he get under 10 in playoffs though?

is there someone he is chasing?

not having ray anymore is going to take a couple asts away so it could get close some games.

[RedSoxFan28]

Wow Rondo is not a real or good PG, a real PG would have at least 15 Assists and 20 Points for 25 Consecutive games :rolleyes:

[thepinoymamba]

Wow. Really. What's the most 10+ assists?

[murrke03]

Wow Rondo is not a real or good PG, a real PG would have at least 15 Assists and 20 Points for 25 Consecutive games :rolleyes:

you could also say a real pg could get 13 asts without 3 or 4 hall of famers :p

or a pg could hit a jump shot haha

[1eyed_jack]

from what I gather the record is 29 by stockton

[brandonlec]

Rondo closed out the regular season with 24 consecutive games of 10+ assists. This is not only a Celtics franchise record, but is also the longest streak the NBA has seen since John Stockton logged a streak of 29 such games in 1992. Only Magic Johnson and Stockton have streaks longer than Rondo's, which is still considered active and will resume from here on out.
I'm not sure how many games Magic had.

-Brandon

[murrke03]

stockton had 40 straight including regular and playoffs. rondo got too 28 last playoffs then it was broken.

regular season alone it seems stockton had 27 two different times and then one of 29 straight.

[murrke03]

wait according to this stockton had 37 straight in the 89 season?

I never said 29 was the previous high. I just simply said Rondo's streak is the longest SINCE Stockton's 29 in 1992.
Stockton's 37 in 1989 could be the highest streak total.

i know. i am just trying to figure it out.

theres no search before 86 and thats all i could find from that site so who knows if its true?

What HOFer's? Pierce, Garnett and.... who's the 3rd and 4th? Terry?
What defines a PG as having a good jumper? Jumpers are his weakness and we've always known that.

[armyatc22]

Apparently it's not that big of a deal if you can't even find what the record is...smdh

Ohhh and btw nice performance in the loss

[Shaun941]

You can hate on Rondo all you want.. Keep in mind these two things..

He has 20 career triple doubles more than both Chris Paul and Deron Williams. And he also has a ring. Everyone said Lebron wasn't better than Kobe because he had no rings. Well the same thing applies here, Rondo is the best PG in the league. Period

[jlzinck]

And his streak of being a whiney punk bitch is at 286 games. That's more impressive

I was told by celtics and rondo fans that no one actually thinks silly things like this. Yikes.

[blackbears86]

He is a whiny little bitch---but I still love him. He an exciting player, and definately in the top 5 guards in the nba.

CP3 is the best without question, outside of that you can make reasonable arguments for a number of guys including Rondo.

[Shaun941]

You might think he's better because he scores more but that's not what makes a great PG.. John Stockton could have scored more but he got his team mates involved. Rondo is a better all around point guard than cp3 and cp3 is a better scorer.

[pac213up]

No I think he is better because he is a more efficient and dynamic offensive player. He is also the only guy Ainge was willing to trade Rondo for. If Rondo takes what he did in the post season last year and continues the trend this season then things may change.

[Shaun941]

Cp3 has yet to run a dynamic offense. He's been apart of teams that are out in the first round or don't make the playoffs. When he is in the finals putting up numbers and winning games will talk. See James Harden.

how can the best point guard in the league be a guy that you can't let have the ball near the end of games because he can't make free throws?

So Ainge is a genius now?? The same guy that drafted Fab Melo? Lmfao

[IamRalpho]

So Ainge is a genius now?? The same guy that drafted Fab Melo? Lmfao

Fab Melo hasnt even played a game, and hes a bad draft pick?

Sigh you sound like a Knick fan.

My opinion....Rondo is ONE OF the best point guards in the league. I would go Paul, then maybe Deron and Rondo. Nash, Westbrook, Parker are all in the mix too but I think Rondo is ARGUABLY the best pure passing PG in the league and the best rebounding PG. He is also extremely tough, where as Chris Paul has knee issues that will hurt his future.

Yes he is an iffy shooter and acts like a child a lot, those are his major downfalls that hold him back.

I will take a top point guard like Rondo any day of the week. So no, I dont think hes the best PG in the leage but I can see why people say it.

But seriously, pissed at Fab Melo already?

[bigcwd2000]

I like Rondo's game. He is fun to watch and does a great job running the Celtics offense. He is also one of the top point gaurds in the league. However, he needs to take losing with dignity and not make stupid flagrant fouls at the end of games.

He was not worthy of that pick.. He is not an NBA BIG MAN.. sorry. If I were Ainge i would have taken Perry Jones III or Arnett Moultrie.. Or If I wanted to get really creative I would have traded up in the draft by shipping off those 2 picks.. Or adding Avery Bradley and a pick to get even higher up.

[Jin]

He got his 10 but too bad his team was absolutely demolished last night.

[IamRalpho]

Woah woah, why trade Avery Bradley? Do you not like young defensive wings? Why would you ever consider dealing arguably the only young potential building block not named Rondo to move up in the weakest draft class since 2000?

Fab Melo has not stepped on the court of an NBA regular season game and he is already a bust, how so? He is raw, extremely raw, but to say he isnt an NBA big man....how do you know?

So assuming you wanted to deal both picks, means you arent happy with Sullinger too? What is going on with you?

[pac213up]

So Ainge is a genius now?? The same guy that drafted Fab Melo? Lmfao

First we do not know how Fab Melo will play out. I am not a fan and did not understand the pick but I also thought Perkins would be horrible and he turned out to be a serviceable big. Second EVERY GM misses on draft picks, especially outside of the lottery. Ainge is the same GM that saw Rondo's talent to begin with while others passed. In general he has a good grasp of talent, more so with guys that have already been established in the NBA.

.....Melo's NBA career is exactly 1 day old. This is the most premature discussion I have ever heard.

He was inactive last night too. Unless people wanna call him a bust based on what sport coat he was wearing, he cant be judged yet.

He will not see the court this year except in the most lopsided mop up duty. It will be a while before we really know.

If he couldn't dominate college basketball centers what makes you think he will adapt a skill set to play well in the NBA? He averages less than 6 rebounds a game at 7'0.

Well someone stated that he wanted to trade Rondo for cp3.. I'm obviously stating that he doesn't always make the best decisions.. So yeah I might be hating in that matter. I can't tell if you guys are actually Celtic fans or not, but if I was I would much rather have Rondo than cp3..

[Shaun941]

Let's not forget about Ainge letting Al Jefferson go and trading MarShon Brooks for JaJuan Johnson lmao...

Rondo as the best pg in the league is laughable. I mean even most celtics fans aren't that crazy to say that.

nothing like doc leaving him in to get it... lol

Rondo wasnt left in for the assist streak, he kept Rondo in hopes of jumpstarting that garbage offense..... then again, you didnt watch it and continue to troll threads to bash Rondo so I dont even know why I am responding here.

Sigh

[murrke03]

so rondo plays 40+ minutes while pierce and garnett only play 28 or less. hmmm

only starter to play more then 33 minutes.

hmmmm...

i've said it before rondos assist numbers have always been skewed by the large amount of minutes he's played. Also so far it does seem that Ray had a good impact on his assist numbers... oh well that will be determined more later.

KEEP HIM IN DOC!

Check the Celtics information, roster, bio's whatever. Tell me what the difference between Rondo and Pierce/Garnett.

Tell me what the difference is between them, and you will see why he plays 40 minutes and Pierce and Garnett play 28.

Lol I'm not just talking about one game buddy.

You would think that the Celtic have no other guards. Rondo plays 40+ in 20-30 point blowouts.

Usually star players come out. Hmm maybe that's telling us something.

My point as before is that this is a factor that effects his totals. You can't just ignore it.

Lets put this in prospective, the only players to get more consecutive games with 10+ assists are John Stockon and Magic Johnson. That's is a pretty weak list right? :rolleyes: The next closest steak in the last 6 years was Chris Paul with a 12 game streak. Steve Nash's (A real PG, unlike Rondo :rolleyes: ) longest career streak is only 16 games.

Don't worry you aren't the first to fail like a complete fool though.

If Nash in his prime ever had the talent rondo has/does and not have to worry about scoring he would have had a streak of 15+ for a season.

Assists are one of the most skewed stats in the game. And rondos assists are overly skewed. The proof is out there and many realize it. Rondo was one of the most overrated players in the league in the past 5 years. Celtics fans have agreed to this.

you DO realize that when nash played in dallas, he played with michael finley and dirk nowitzki, and that when he went to phoenix, his starting 5 included amare, joe johnson, and shawn marion... all all-stars. it's because of that talent around nash that he became a 2-time MVP, not because of his scoring

but yes, let's just continue to say over and over and over and over and over etccccccccc again that rondo is overrated; it's cuz of his HOF teammates; his stats are skewed, blah blah blah

quote me on this right now: rondo will finish in the top 5 for MVP voting THIS SEASON. and it'll be just as annoying then as it is now to hear you discredit him

first, while on the mavs finley and dirk were no where near the talent level of garnett, allen, and pierce.

second, while on the suns joe johnson wasn't near the player he has become - and as for the suns nash WAS a 2-time MVP. Hmmm that kind of was my point. Put Nash with good players (still no where near garnett, pierce, allen) and he becomes 2-time mvp. Another thing is what happened when nash was all alone. His assists numbers were still high and he almost took a crappy team to the playoffs multiple times. But thats a different story.

Rondo was highly overrated. People crowned him 5 years ago as a great pg. At that time he was really only getting large assist numbers. Like I said assists are the most skewed stat in the game.

I'll admit it that at present Rondo has started to prove he is actually a top 5 pg. But that doesn't mean he hasn't been overrated or still is at times.

So you don't think assist numbers are skewed? And playing with 3 greats wasn't beneficial? Really?

first, while on the mavs finley and dirk were no where near the talent level of garnett, allen, and pierce.



In the 6 seasons that Michael Finley was a teammate with Steve Nash he was a two time All Star and averaged over 20 PPG. Dirk was a 3 time All Star in those same 6 years and also averaged over 20 PPG and thats including his rookie year where he only averaged 8.2.

Those Phoenix teams were stacked too. He only played with Joe Johnson for 1 year but JJ averaged 17 a game that year. Amare was a 20-25 point game guy, Barbosa averaged over 15 every year he was on the Suns except 1. Jason Richardson was on that team scoring 15 a game and Marion was there. Shaq had the last couple good years of his career there as well.

The talent that Nash played with is probably right on par or better with who Rondo has on the C's.

[pac213up]

Rondo played with 1 other All-Star last year when the streak started.

The answer to this is simple. No.

i never said anything about 'all-star'. stop trying to get all technical. it doesn't apply.

[RedSoxFan28]

Rondo is the best, if not one of the best PG in the league. Just face the facts Murrke.

Way to ignore what I said. Add that to your big bold red ignore list which you actually don't ignore. Lol

And pac213up. There is one crazy person saying rondo is the best pg in the league. Lol.

[clipperboy24]

i never said anything about 'all-star'. stop trying to get all technical. it doesn't apply.

says the king of technicalities.

Nash did play with Dirk and Finley in their prime years and also had amazing teammates with the Suns in Amare, Marion, Joe Johnson and Barbosa. If they had played defense they would have won a title but sadly they didnt even come close.

Yea barbosa and Marion are the same level as pierce and Garnett and Allen. Do you honestly believe that?

I mean amare Johnson and Finley are really not on the same level.

[RedSoxFan28]

I have no clue what Murrke said, I am not going to be a failure and view his post. Since if I ever look at any of his posts it makes me a failure :rolleyes: :)!

this team was loaded:
2004-05 Phoenix Suns Roster and Stats | Basketball-Reference.com (http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/PHO/2005.html)

and it was Q rich that was good on that team not barbosa. The starters alone averaged 93 ppg with only one scoring more than 20 ppg... unreal!

also you act like Allen and Garnett were even close to their primes... you must not have watched much basketball in the 90's and early 2000's. And yes I do think Nash had a better supporting cast in 04-05 (Marion, Amare, Johnson, Q rich all in their prime) than Rondo did with the Celtics.

Now all that being said, i dont think Rondo is the best PG in the league. Its CP3, then Rose (uninjured), then Williams, then probably westbrook and then Rondo. Rondo is a great playmaker but not the best PG in the league, not even close imo.

WOW.

Q Rich? Seriously? Whats funny is that many of these 'stars' Nash played with only succeeded 'star-wise' when they played with Nash. Go look at Q rich, barbosa, marion even, etc after they left the suns system and nash.

Garnett arguably was playing some of his best basketball in his career the year the Celtics won the championship. So to say he wasn't in his 'prime' is not quite true. Pierce was in his 'prime' and Allen was still the greatest shooter to ever play the game and far from washed up.

And you are comparing them to Amare (arguably one of the most overrated players at times), Johnson (who WAS NOT in his prime), Marion (not much more then a good role player), Q Rich (yeah Q Rich enough said).

Comparing the Suns 'stars' to the Celtics HOF's is quite laugable.

That said I basically agree with the bolded part. That is my whole point. Rondo is overrated because so many people think he is the 'best' pg and that he has been for years.

[clipperboy24]

you will argue just for the sake of it, really funny. Q Rich led the league in 3 pt shots that year and was a huge asset. Joe Johnson had his best years post Phoenix Suns and Marion actually created his own shot that year, so dont really know where you try to go with the things you say. Maybe you think if you fire enough bullets one will hit the target.

As for Garnett... uhh wow, best year was with the Celtics? so that must have been from Rondo right according to your mentality. Well, he didnt have his best years with the Celtics and neither did Ray Allen and Pierce was at the 10 year mark in his career. Garnett put up the least amount of PPG, APG, RPG and BPG in over 10 seasons! The numbers dont lie, but of course you will try to find any way to warp something to match what you say.

[clipperboy24]

you are right though that Marion sucked pre Nash, i mean he only averaged 19.2 ppg, 10 rpg, 2.3 apg, 2 spg, 46% fg, 36% 3pt shooting and 84% FT shooting. These horrible numbers were put up from 2000-2004 before Nash ever made one pass to Marion.

[realreodeal]

That Suns Team was ridiculously good, they just couldn't play a lick of defense. Marion was the only one that even tried. The Celtics won because they were more savy and played "D". Both teams were very good but they were very different too.

[murrke03]

So you are seriously telling me you think the suns were better then the celtics team?

And that amare, joe Johnson, Marion, and Richardson were better players then Garnett, pierce and Allen?

Wow dude. Wow.

[realreodeal]

So you are seriously telling me you think the suns were better then the celtics team?

Wow dude. Wow.

You seem to have a hard time comprehending things.

Defense wins Championships. The Suns were unreal at getting the ball in the hoop, but that only gets you so far. The Celtics were the better TEAM because they knew how to play defense and as I said--->Defense wins Championships.

I know I am a "Homer" but look at the Ben Wallace led Pistons that beat the Hall of Fame LA Lakers or the Spurs Teams that played great "D" and you will see that you can't win without knowing how to defend.

[pac213up]

So you are seriously telling me you think the suns were better then the celtics team?

Offensively they were easily a better team than the Celtics. Defensively the complete opposite.

[murrke03]

I'm don't know how it got to comparing 'teams'. I was talking about the players on each team that either Nash or rondo played with.

[clipperboy24]

I'm don't know how it got to comparing 'teams'. I was talking about the players on each team that either Nash or rondo played with.

players comprise the teams and yes, at that point in their careers, I would pick Marion, Amare, Joe Johnson and Q Rich over a fading Garnett, Allen and slowing down Pierce.

Glad I could impress you :)

Faded Garnett, Allen and slowing down pierce? What are you on? Lmao.

[clipperboy24]

not faded, fading as in their careers were on their way downhill. still great players but talent and usage on the decline. This was definitely evident that year and even more so the next couple years.

The only person faded here might be you :)

You have no clue what you are talking about. Fading? Lol okay buddy if that's what you think.

Ray Allen right now is just as good if not better then Richardson in his prime.

and Richardson was their far back 5th option. Your point?

You just claimed he was equal to the celtics talent.

[clipperboy24]

You just claimed he was equal to the celtics talent.

nice try! The Suns team was equal to the Celtics talent wise! Not Q rich on his own is equal. It was a good attempt to twist it though

[murrke03]

nice try! The Suns team was equal to the Celtics talent wise! Not Q rich on his own is equal. It was a good attempt to twist it though

And I'm saying you are still wrong.

Basically you are comparing amare and 2-3 good role players to 3 greats. Lol

[pac213up]

nice try! The Suns team was equal to the Celtics talent wise! Not Q rich on his own is equal. It was a good attempt to twist it though

I would not go that far. The Celtics were a superior group but not because of the offense which gets to the main point of this thread and Rondo's assist streak. The Celtics are a defense first team.

[clipperboy24]

And I'm saying you are still wrong.

Basically you are comparing amare and 2-3 good role players to 3 greats. Lol

agree to disagree. Honestly though, did you watch that Phoenix team back in the day (mean it seriously, no offense) they were unbelievable, just refused to play defense.

As for that Celtics squad, very great squad as well not as high octane offensively but great defense and still fun to watch. I loved seeing them win because I cant stand the Lakers so I easily became a Celtics fan for that series since my second favorite team is whoever beats the lakers.

Clipperboy, your facts and everything you've said so far for the most part have been completely right. That doesn't matter to Murrke though. It's either his way or no way. He's never wrong :rolleyes: . He's not a big enough of a man to admit it when he's wrong.

Anyways let's see if Rondo can continue his streak tonight! :)

[murrke03]

Yes I did watch the suns. No denying that thy were a very good team and explosive on offense. That doesn't mean though that any I the player except maybe amare could compare to Garnett pierce or Allen's skill level.

So you agree that Marion is just as good a player as Paul pierce? Lol

Hahahha

A harmless thread that was started to talk about an impressive streak has again, turned into an anti-Rondo tirade and a constant fight over an obviously biased and a habitual pot stirrer.

Of course the person who hates Rondo and hasta make sure everyone knows it whenever you mention him or the Celtics has over 1/3 of the posts in this thread.

What a joke, makes this section unreadable.

Why do you hafta keep trolling? Seriously. You dont add anything to these threads or discussions, we get it you do not like Rajon Rondo. Do you need to post in EVERY single thread that he is mentioned?

I mean its the definition of trolling, posting in every thread looking for arguments and picking fights.

Id like to post more, Id like to talk about the Celtics and other stuff but its all fighting and stupidity because YOU do not like Rondo and you need to make sure EVERYONE knows it whenever it is brought up.

Its a thread about his streak, now its an argument AGAIN STARTED BY YOU about the Suns and Steve Nash?

Seriously.

[murrke03]

You have no problem when other teams threads go the same way because of you and other people. Why do you need to continuously complain. You and others aren't afraid to contnously say they don't like Lebron. You have no problem with that. So don't act like I am the only person that does something.

And actually the last page or so I have been defending the celtics team. Hmmm.

[murrke03]

And actually your Boston buddy is the one that brought up Nash.

[RedSoxFan28]

If anyone cares, Rondo tied Stockon for the 3rd longest streak tonight, even though everyone knows this is a weak streak and any PG or player could do this :rolleyes:

i agree with this 100%. the thread was started to recognize Rondo's on-going accomplishment, and yet it just becomes a pointless debate for no good reason. why cant we just keep it focused on the assist streak itself?

true story. rondo is awful(ly underrated)

what's even more impressive when compared to , let's say nash again, is that rondo plays for the celtics, who offense has been one of the slowest and lowest scoring teams the past couple season, whereas nash played in the quickest (leading to more possessions) and highest scoring offensive system for years

[murrke03]

So wait its okay for people to comment against Lebron or Kobe in an accomplishment thread but no one is allowed to say anything against rondo? Haha okay then.

Rondo is FAR from underrated. That is complete crap.

Rondo is underrated, he is working on a 14 Point, 19 Assist outing tonight

[Quigley24]

Congrats to Rondo and the Boston Celtics! This is far from an easy accomplishment, and to create that many made baskets consistently is mind boggling. That's a nice individual and team accomplishment.

edit: it's exhausting trying to argue OR reason with you when it comes to rondo & the celtics. at least the rondo/celtic fans will listen to what you have to say and accept/reject it but we'll listen and reason. you're too biased to ever face our facts. you only enjoy your own stats and facts and spins.

[RedSoxFan28]

I also believe Rondo has the second most career triple doubles among active PG's behind only Jason Kidd. Also Rondo was the first person since Magic to have a 17+ Point, 17+ Assist, and 17+ Rebound game. Rondo IS underrated.

[Quigley24]

I think the only real flaw with Rondo besides free throws is his often diva like attitude. If he didn't have that, and the misconception that he can't shoot, he'd be in most people's top 3 point guards.

[RedSoxFan28]

I think the only real flaw with Rondo besides free throws is his often diva like attitude. If he didn't have that, and the misconception that he can't shoot, he'd be in most people's top 3 point guards.

That's true, but it also depends on how you rank a PG. Is it how much the score? How strong they are on Outside shots/ 3 Point shooting? Assists? etc. I feel that the reason Rondo is underrated is that he doesn't have a strong outside shot. While Williams and Paul both have decent outside game so people tend to think of them as better PG's

[murrke03]

YOU underrate him.

I underrate him by calling him one if top 5 pg in league?

What do you think he is the best?

[joceltics34]

I hate to say this but if Rondo losing this streak means that Boston can win games, I would take that ANY day! It's an impressive streak but winning games is more important.

[brandonlec]

I'm going to ask nicely: murrke03 and anyone else looking to just start ship against Rondo and his fans, can you please refrain from posting in this thread.

I want this thread to be used for his streak. That's all. :)

Thanks.

Also, 20 assists tonight. That puts Rondo's streak at 29 games straight. :)

Just put them all on ignore like I did until the Heat become irrelevant again. Based on LeBron's hairline it shouldn't take too long! :D

Bingo, that alex guy made a heat thread and asked the non heat fan not to post in it. Maybe I should make an anti heat thread. Also the heat fan do not seem to be the brightest, I can not say for sure but if you mention one of their names you will see four or five posts in a row in which they respond. I can not say for sure but I would be willing to bet if I go back and unblock them they would be responding to what the person said about them.

[vc15jrich23]

Rondo had 10 more assist tonight, the streak continues.

[TheCelticsfan29]

If he got 11 he would have broke the NBA record for consecutive games with 11 in a row. At least they won though

[oshmeehan]

If he got 11 he would have broke the NBA record for consecutive games with 11 in a row. At least they won though


Blah, Bucks played horrible. Especially Ersan and Jennings. That was a BS no call foul though when Ersan went up for that shot in the last minute. Haha though he probably would have choked on the free throws anyways

[bullrose23]

i have no dog in this fight , if anything I'm anti rondo ,don't like his attitude, or cheap shots i felt he gave the bulls a few years ago in first round playoff series but the man is talented ,Celtics are his team now

[1eyed_jack]

not a rondo fan, but there's no denying he's a great passer, just as Serge Ibaka is a great shot blocker and Anderson Verajao is a great rebounder this year

[blackbears86]

who's next in line for Rondo to pass?

[brandonlec]

murrke03 please stop posting in this thread.

The Rajon Rondo streak is at 30 games now.
He is now chasing Stockton's 37 game streak.
And then after that, the big dog... Magic Johnson's 46 games.

-Brandon

[1eyed_jack]

Streak to end tonight?

[1eyed_jack]

nevermind. he'll get 15.

Rondo, pass to Garnett, garnett turns into the lane, pump fake, waits for defender to be coming down, shoots makes it = Rondo assist


hmmm

[IamRalpho]

Great night so far from him, but I think the streak ends tonight

[groundsupport]

Isnt this the guy who turns down a wide open layup to pad his stats
?

[IamRalpho]

Isnt this the guy who turns down a wide open layup to pad his stats

Nope, thats actually not him. He turns down wide open lay ups because he has no confidence in his shot.

[brandonlec]

Man, this is nerve racking for a Celtics fan ha!
1 minute left and he needs 2 asts! I kinda want it to go to OT ;)

-Brandon

[1eyed_jack]

now he needs one!!!!!!!!

[brandonlec]

9 ASSISTS 40 SECONDS LEFT

-Brandon

[brandonlec]

Man, those nice alley oops to Garnett are saving his streak ha

-Brandon

[1eyed_jack]

Boston fouled there to give rondo a chance at the streak!

[1eyed_jack]

typical garbage

[tylert295]

And the Streak stays alive!

[sportscardbreak]

And the streak continues.

[brandonlec]

HAHAHHAHAHAHA WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THE BULLS D WOULD SCREW UP LIKE THAT WITH A HUGE STREAK ON THE LINE. MAN. HAHAH I would have punched my wall if Bass missed that or got fouled and missed :P

-Brandon

[IamRalpho]

Streak or not, his line tonight was pretty awesome

20 points/10 assists/ 8 rebounds/ 5 steals, 63% from the floor.

The TO's arent great, but still.

[PackAttack419]

i cant believe bulls didnt foul any celtic after the FT misses! esp fouling rondo!!

and then the wide open bass basket hahaha i love it

this guy is clearly overrated though... 20 pts, 8 rebs, 5 steals (not including the assists)

[jbmets95]

Wow, amazing performance watched most of the game real special player. Although as a team neither looked great
without rondo they would be nowhere
he is a franchise players
makes so stupid decisions and stuff but they better not think about trading him at this deadline hahah

[brandonlec]

Rajon Rondo with a real nice stat line tonight.

20 pts, 9 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals. You guys must have not seen the last 2 seconds where he grabbed that defensive rebound ;) Only a true Rondo fan notices that ;)

The streak is at 31 games now! :)

-Brandon

[groundsupport]

Stat Padder.

[murrke03]

Seems like I was correct when I said Ray Allen added about 3-4 assists on to Rondos totals every game.

Like I said though a flawed streak on a skewed stat. Glad others are picking up on it too.

I just looked up the stats, and he is averaging 1.15 assists more per game this year than he did last year. :)
This is counting tonight's game.

In 6 games. Haha I was talking about the fact that he has been very close to not getting his 10 the last couple. And that outlier of 20 basically skews the average in 6 games played. Haven't taken statistics yet?

Averaged more assists without him last year. Nice try though.

[murrke03]

averaged more assists without him?

and just last year? who said anything about one year? :)!

[pac213up]

Yes. Rondo averaged more assists last year in games that Ray Allen did not play. Troll on.

[murrke03]

Can you show me some stats?

Also like I said I wasn't talking about just one year. Good try though.

[pac213up]

You said EVERY GAME. Last year Ray Allen missed 20+ games. Rondo missed a couple of those as well but ended up playing in 15 and averaged 14.4 assists in those games. Not surprising given how much better the offense was when Bradley started at the SG spot.

Haha so I say every game and you pick out 15 that Allen didn't play in all the years they played together.

Haha okay. I'm surprised you didn't use a sample size of one to prove a point. :eek:

And like I also said how many times in all those years of playing together did ray Allen add to rondos assist numbers.

You like using that sample size line. Actually 28% of the games Rondo played last year would seem fairly relevant. Keep living in 2010.

[Cades]

If rondo is so good because he plays with good players, then if I look up Chalmers, will I see that he averages 11+ assists per game?

[murrke03]

I use the sample size line because people don't understand that it's important. For example a sample size of one isn't relevant. And a sample size of 15 games over 4 or more seasons isn't 100 percent proof either.

How am I living in 2010?

[TheCelticsfan29]

If rondo is so good because he plays with good players, then if I look up Chalmers, will I see that he averages 11+ assists per game?

Exactly! people that actually watch Rondo play on a daily basis can see that so many of his assists are to players like Chris Wilcox or Brandon Bass. he makes everyone around him better. If he was on any other team he would still most likely lead the league in assists. It's just the way he plays.

[murrke03]

If rondo is so good because he plays with good players, then if I look up Chalmers, will I see that he averages 11+ assists per game?

Yeah nothing like comparing a pg who brings the ball up every possession to a guy who stands in the corner and watches lebron and wade bring the ball up and penetrate.

It could be argued that lebron is more of a pg then chalmers in the heat system.

[vc15jrich23]

Sure, if Chalmers actually had good players around him :devil::devil::devil::devil:

[matpat21]

Always been a Rondo fan and after reading the thread last night, it got me thinkin I didn't have any of him in my collection so I ended up scooping these up today for a solid price.

nice cards of one of the best PG's in the league!!!

[murrke03]

murke: why so much hate man????? You need to chill ...........:D:D

haha i'm not hating. just telling it how it is. :p

rondo is a top 5 pg in the league right now. but he hasn't been one for the past 5 years and he sure as heck isn't the best pg in the league. :D

[pac213up]

More good news for the haters.

Sean Grande ‏@SeanGrandePBP

Rajon Rondo's been given an assist they missed in Milwaukee. That makes 11 for the game and thus a new NBA record 28 straight games of 11+.

Haha I'll gladly call bs on this crap.

I'm sure we could go back and take away 100 phantom assists given to rondo over the years. Makes this streak even more of a joke. Thanks for the proof.

Hahaha what loser went back to find another assist? Probably rondo himself. Lmao

[pac213up]

Can always count on the troll.

[murrke03]

Can always count on the troll.

Lol

To tell the truth?

Assists are the most subjective stat in the game. It's a joke that someone went back to try and find another. Maybe we should go back and analyze every assist. Only thing is we could argue about most of them because there really is no clue line of what an assist is.

Like I said it was probably the prima Dona himself worrying about his streak. Lol.

Same thing happened with Hakeem Olajuwon's second Quadruple Double. It wasn't officially awarded a QD but upon review they said it was!

[murrke03]

Hahaha it's a little sketchy.

It's like that guy a couple years ago who needed a rebound for a triple double and then he tried to throw it off his own basket with like 5 seconds left. Haha who was that?

[pac213up]

I'm sure it is just a coincidence that the guys Rondo happens to be chasing were fairly good PG's. I mean it is such a overrated subjective stat and all.

[Cades]

Magic Johnson and John Stockton did a lot more then just get assists. Rondos complete game is not on their level yet. Good try though

[pac213up]

Yeah Stockton got all those accolades because of his career 13PPG.

[murrke03]

Haha well if you want to break it down. Stockton legacy isn't on the same level as magic. Just trying to simplify it for you.

You know what Stockton could do? He could hit a jump shot! :D

[clipperboy24]

Sure, if Chalmers actually had good players around him :devil::devil::devil::devil:

haha, seriously. Chalmers supporting cast sucks!!!!

[xavieronly1]

Stockton is like a gold standard for a PG. 3 point, assist, steal, smart, tough, high FG%, high FT FG%. All of these can be worked on without having godly speed or 6'9 height.

[Cades]

ohhh ok so its not just the players around him that make him get assists

[murrke03]

I never said it was :)!

[bdoody42]

People will troll no matter what... Haters are gonna hate. The streak is pretty impressive and I don't think anyone can argue that. I just hope to see the celtics play better and improve.

[brandonlec]

Rajon Rondo, despite suffering a minor injury, got his 10 assists tonight. Streak now goes to 32 games straight of 10 or more assists :)

-Brandon

[RedSoxFan28]

Let's see if the Celtics can hold them off

[IamRalpho]

Jeff Green actually played like a human being tonight, not a robot.

[murrke03]

Good thing doc played him long enough to continue the streak.

Lol.

[bdoody42]

Yeah 25 minutes and leaving in the third quarter after an ankle injury. Smh

Good thing doc played him long enough to continue the streak.

Lol.

[blackbears86]

so let's say he misses the next game due to the ankle injury. I am assuming the streak will not be over because he has not played, is that correct?

[RedSoxFan28]

"Good thing doc played him long enough to continue the streak.

Lol."

LOL Rondo left the game early(in the 3rd) since he injured his ankle....

[IamRalpho]

Yeah after Rondo hurt his ankle, he didnt come back. And it was a close game when he did. So it had nothing to do with the streak, but it wasnt a serious comment anyways that he made.

[bdoody42]

The guy is just here to annoy others. Lol.

Nope, if you don't play in a game, it doesn't benefit or hurt your streak.

You have to play in a game and not get 10 assists or more for the streak to break. :)

-Brandon

[vc15jrich23]

Well in that case, how about those Miami heat losing to the clips last night. :)!

[pac213up]

Best part last night was Rondo's reaction to Jeff Green's dunk. Classic GIF material.

what is the game becoming? you just posterize someone, give them a little stare down, T them up?????

[bigcwd2000]

Yeah that's lame to give him a T. That was an awesome dunk.

[XARZY]

Yeah that's lame to give him a T. That was an awesome dunk.

they've done that to shumpert a few times also. they don't t up Lebron tho

[RedSoxFan28]

Agreed, LeBron doesn't get T'ed up on stuff like that

[IamRalpho]

I dont think Green ever talks on the court, even to his teammates. It'd be one thing if the guy was yapping all night or had a rep, but someone like Green who just stared....just terrible.

Officials suck, gotten worse too.

[clipperboy24]

Bogans is a "Punk bitch" just like Rondo ;)

[pac213up]

Streak continues in first half today.

[brandonlec]

Yep, 11 assists in the first half against Toronto. The streak climbs to 33 games. :)

[brandonlec]

Is there a place to find the rules? when I was watching ESPNEWS the other night (on the game he sat out) the host said it came to an end because he didn't play. (Obviously I think the host screwed up because he did not play so it shouldn't count). It just threw me off a bit.

It's just general knowledge of the game of basketball. Games in which you don't play in don't hurt or benefit you.
If Durant sits out a game during the season, they aren't going to average in a 0 to his points per game average.

I don't know where there is a extensive "rulebook" for the NBA, but I'm sure if you research and look on the internet, you'd come across one. :)

I'm not sure if you know baseball but compare it to a hitting streak...if a batter sits out an entire game then the streak gets put on hold for that game.

[RedSoxFan28]

Nice game for Rondo today, finished with 20 assists :)

[bdoody42]

Only 20 assists. What a bad game ;)

[RedSoxFan28]

Only 20 assists. What a bad game ;)

I know right!? A real PG would have at least 30 ;)

[blackbears86]

Only 20 assists. What a bad game ;)

trade him!!! He sucks!!! Enter Murke!!!!

[blackbears86]

In all seriousness, great game coming off the bum ankle---even if it was against the raptors:)!

[bettydaw1970]

rubdown rondo is an assist machine!

[vc15jrich23]

That is what I figured but the host said it on ESPNEWS so it threw me off. I had figured he was wrong though.

[murrke03]

hey children. i never said rondo sucks.

just because i don't think he's the best pg in the league doesn't mean i think he's the worst.

its actually quite hilarious when the children come in after a game and try to play the "oh he only got 15 assists - what a terrible pg" nonsense.

lol at acting like a child!

How do you look at yourself in a mirror? Do you not see how ridiculous you are? In one breathe you are saying how bad Rondo is and then when you get called out because he had another good game you try to turn things around and say other people are wrong. You should just stop posting about players you don't know much about. Silence is Golden.

Still waiting for where I said rondo was bad and a horrible point guard.

The lack of comprehension on here shocks me sometimes.
