If Rondo continues to play the way he's playing, and I hope he stays injury free and heals his ankles in the off-season and improves his shooting...I better see him in the motherf*cknn all-star 2010 or I'M GONNA BE ONE PISSED MOTHA..

That's pretty ridiculous. I mean, I guess it depends on your definition of young talent whether or not he's top 3 or 4...but to not be on the list at all if it was just about the POs is insane.

I think they mainly look at the scorings and stuff. Rondo is not averaging 30ppg and doesn't shoot behidn the arc that much...but I'd rather have his assists more than anything else.

Mreh...it's just a list. We all know he belongs, so there's no sense in getting mad about it.

Well maybe the guys at ESPN are actually showing respect for Rondo and they expected him to average a triple double in the playoffs.

Ironically, there have been 2 huge celtics articles on espn today. Yea they are MacMullan and Simmons, but i still find it funny.

Oh you didn't hear? Kobe is MJ, I can't believe you didn't know that!! Except I remember MJ ever losing in the finals. Or his team quitting in any playoff series.

Brunnos love for the Lakers never dies, but back to ESPN they are the biggest Bandwagon media ever.

I never watch espn or go to their website, I gave up on them a few years ago. If I want a recap or highlights I read cbssportsline.com or nba.com. The biggest media failing for me is that Comcast can't broadcast games past the first round, soon we'll be stuck listening to lousy national tv announcers "announcing" the games, which basically means ignoring the game and shooting the **** about LeBron and Kobe. It's worse than listening to Donny Marshall.
