Clyde Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thought it was kinda funny how that guy in the clip Clyde posted called him Rondo Reed. For the youngsters the "Reed" reference is to Willis Reed who in about 1970 had a really bad knee injury and came out of the lockerroom right at the start of the game (or early in it) and then led the NYK to a victory. You'll hear it anytime you see a player return from an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Real talk, Rondo is a man. I remember when Wade's shoulder popped out and he cried and cried and was wheeled off the court in a wheelchair.(wuss.....) I can also only imagine what Paul Pierce would have done. Ambulance probably would have came on the court and they'd probably put a neck stabilizing brace in him but anyways.. You beat to it. PP would have had his mom , wife, and girlfriend at his side with a doctor running vitals. Ronda sacked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEERFAN Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 All these posts about Pierce are making me think back to Madden '93 when the Ambulance would come out on the field and all player in it's way would be tossed aside like the guy doing the Dougie who was hit by Big Worm's ice cream truck.

Clyde Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 We're young, not basketball ignorant....... I have no doubt that CCC knew that already. However, I bet if I polled 100 NBA fans under 25 years old less than 1/3 would have any clue and I'm being generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to bring it back. It was always funny when the ambulance rolled onto the field. Never got old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurplePride92 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Is he still a gametime decision? I don't see him being effective at all if he can only use one arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RondoRules Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Rondo is going to play with one arm and he is going to play amazing. I'm biased, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCatsCats Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I'm kind of tired of them continuing to talk about it. Its a great story but how about talking about the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurplePride92 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I missed the first 3 quarters last night. Did Miami force Rondo to dribble left and give him hard, solid picks on that elbow all night? They should have made that elbow and huge problem for Rondo. How did Rondo do in quarters 1-3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTime Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 10 points 5 assists 3 turnovers. Is he helping them or hurting them by playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
