Hell, he proved that long before now.
Darned shame. Delonte was having himself a fine season. Poor kid's got glass bones.

Re: For Pete
Yeah, Delonte again was going to work. He was CLE's 4/5th most important player. Maybe 3rd depending on how you value defense.
And West is a great guy.
That said I'm perfectly fine with Delonte and Big Z having season ending injuries right now

Re: For Pete
I'm not surprised this happened. I liked Delonte when he was here but always thought he was way too reckless and injury prone.
I'm a tad concerned that this could happen to Rondo because he's taken a share of beatings driving to the hoop. Everytime he gets hit and falls on the ground, I'm always scared that he may not get up.

Re: For Pete
damn he was on my fantasy team. I'm having a tough time with injuries to ron artest, d west and D.J. Augustin. not to mention my losing gamble that arenas would come back half way through the season.

Re: For Pete
Heh. He admits it now. That's pretty funny.
But my hate has lessoned since he has transitioned into a role he was meant for - not as our #1 PG of the future. He is okay as a 2 guard/combo guy. Kinda like a better version of House. Actually Rondo sometimes bugs me now. Maybe I just hate PGs.. Haha. Rondo is great but he doesnt' shoot that well. If only we could combine Rondo and D. West..

Re: For Pete
When Rondo is bad.....Rajon reminds of a "scared Marcus Banks". (Scared to shoot).
Delonte is just too brave for his own good, a wreckless player is a good way to describe Delonte.

Re: For Pete
Rondo bugs me a lot defensively. Many times I think he just lets the guy blow buy him so he can stick his hand in after he's behind his man... I'm surprised the refs don't call a foul more often for that... but I'm more suprised how often Rondo does it.. just stay in front of your man.. we can play better defense funneling a PG to Perk and KG then Rondo letting then run by him.

Re: For Pete
Put that way, Pete, I understand/agree with your disrespectment of West. ( I just invented that word.)
Rondo's built a lot tougher but his bones will break, unless he learns to finish w/o crashing. He needs to keep his head up.
You know, I'd like to know Rondo's stats when the clock is at 0, it seems he shoots the lights out w/o a chance to think. Maybe his nerves get in the way when there are options.
Really nice to see Gabe shoot the ball, whether it be from the line or a jumper. it looks like a shooter's form. Hard to ever see that in TA, RR, BB, LP or even Perk.
What ever happened to teaching the mechanics of a jumpshot? Rondo looks like he's putting his arms behind his head to take a nap when he shoots.

Sadly, it isn't.
