Rajon Rondo breaks hand, has surgery, out indefinitely

[Froob]

Rondo really committing to the tank this year. And people though that Sixers game was bad.

If Rondo ends up missing time in the season, given that the Celtics have a really difficult schedule to start, I could easily see them being way down record wise early on.

Seatbelts, friends. It's going to be another long year.

Bad? That ending was hilarious. I think that was one of Johnson's highlights in a Cs jersey

[No-Man]

if he miss 8 weeks that mean the first 11 games, you could easily start off 2-9, and if you extend that to the first month, i could easily see a 2-13 record, the schedule is really hard the first month.

[DK-All Day]

Our season ended before it even started.

Tank 2.0- Celtics Edition.

[Tenbomber]

The proverbial fall at the house. Lol.

I thought that was supposed to happen to us old folks?....You know?

That's just very weird for sure....Some terrible luck....

[NL41]

Most suspiciously, Rondo's hands are only about 2 feet off the ground when he walks. This guy's arms are so long, it's not like he has a long way to drop to the floor.

[Celtic Esquire]

He is only going to miss a week or two. That's no big deal.

[NL41]

Highly plausible theory:

Rondo heard Wyc's comments about him being uncoachable, and Rondo punched a hole in his wall.

It's not like those comments were good for Rondo's long-term financial interests.

It's just too bad there wasn't a tv remote around.

Schedule is really tough to start the season. Not good that Rondo misses 2nd consecutive training camp but it is probably good that the Celtics can evaluate Smart's starting point at the PG position. I just hope Steven's doesn't give Pressey 30 mpg at starting PG since he just doesn't deserve them.

Hopefully this is just a fall at the Celtics/Rondo are reporting or at worst Rondo just punching a wall and not anything worse.

Or they run and gun their way to 9-2 without someone walking the ball up?

There could be a silver lining here?.... It does allow Stevens the chance to take a peek at a few of the many potential Rondo replacements that we have in camp.....Things happen for a reason sometimes...

Highly plausible theory if ever I've seen one.

Arrrghhh.....
Was just starting to get psyched for the season, esp. after the haul we pulled in from the Bogans trade!

He smashes a tv with a remote control because he was criticized by Doc.

He bumps refs because the call a foul

His relationship with Ray Allen goes downhill when Ray asked Rajon to smooth his relationship with Danny and Doc.

Now the Owner takes a crap on Rondo's impending free agency value ... Reaction? Not good.

Or they won't? Nonsense.

This is terrible. Cause we were so great last year when Rondo was up & we were flying up & down the court outscoring teams!

Once Stevens finally smartened up and put Crawford at pg instead of Bradley, this team played just under .500 ball for almost 2 months.

I think we were like 3 games under .500 in late december, and that was after we started out 0-4 with Bradley at pg.

And that was before we upgraded our roster.

Eh in all honesty stuff happens. It may seem suspicious, but he could have tripped down a few stairs and landed awkwardly for all we know.

[StojkoVrankovic]

Do or do not. There is no NL41

They're saying he slipped in the shower.

Not buying it.

The truth will come out eventually. Hopefully it's more along the lines of idiocy of how he did it like Glen Davis and nothing bad.
