Rajon Rondo breaks hand, has surgery, out indefinitely

[Tenbomber]

if he misses 8 weeks that means 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.

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...

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!

I'm not going to argue the point with you 2mas...It's obvious to me that you are a huge Rondo supporter...and I'm sorry for your loss...

But there's no sense crying over spilt milk...

This team might surprise a few like like it did last year until we sent Rondo's replacement away so Rondo could come back....was right about then that it all went south....

[StojkoVrankovic]

This board is embarrassing right now

[VinBaker6]

Man, ****! I was looking forward to a healthy Rondo. Damn. Do you guys think this helps in keeping his asking price low if he has another injury plagued season? Or would you even want him?

If you're referring to Jordan Crawford, you realize we were 13-26 and the 12th seed when he got traded? And furthermore, we didn't surprise anyone last year. Never had a winning record at all and the only time we were even .500 is when we started the season out 4-4.

I broke my 5 metacarpal this summer and I play ball everyday.

It took me 5 weeks to come back to the court. and that was without surgery and a clean break. So 6-8 weeks sounds about right.

[lon3lytoaster]

Whelp, sucks but I'm excited for Smart to get some uninterrupted burn in the preseason.

[15th overall]

A guy that rich doesn't have a slip proof shower? I once didn't have a shower mat for like a year, you had to be ridiculously careful--- that was when I was in college and essentially living in a flop house. Pretty sure Rondo could afford better than that.

This is hogwash, I say.

[WeLikeOurGuys]

It's called a boxers fracture. My injury happened trying to strip the ball from someone it's just a fluke injury.

[NotALongIslandr]

Do or do not. There is no NL41

arambone, no one cares about your racist rhetoric.

If you're looking for an online forum to spew your racist hatred that is not founded in fact, go to google and look up local neo-Nazi groups.

You are less than filth. The end.

[The_Ghost_of_JB]

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.

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.

100 % agree with this. How the hell can someone logically break their hand slipping in the shower? I guarantee there is more to this story.

Rondo is going to miss what? 10 games or so? Tough loss considering how tough the first 15 games are. Don't be shocked to see them lose every game until he comes back.

Big Bang Theory's Sheldon Cooper would scold Rondo for that...


(He gave Penny hell for not having a mat after she fell in her shower and suffered a dislocated shoulder.)

Sh-t happens......

he will still be asking a lot if he enters free agency as he is a very cocky guy. Any team that wants him, your best bet is to snag him at the trade deadline. He'll reup for those 5 years wherever. I don't buy the "I won't sign with" stuff with him. He's always been a loyal guy and has never indicated anything other than Boston is where he wants to be despite trade rumors and criticism. If he goes to Sacramento against his will, he'll re-sign there in my opinion.

"Boxer's fracture", eh Watson?

The clues continue to add up, or my name isn't sherlock41.

Would have been much better to just say he broke it playing basketball somewhere like your injury. That 'fell in his home' BS is more played out than the 'dog ate my homework'. Everybody knows that's not the real reason. Unless dude was going proper 'Jackass 3.0' trying to surf his stairs or something.

[Froob]

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

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

My heart stopped when he hit that 3. I thought it was going to be a 4pt play didn't see that he was out of bounds.

[Bad-Thoma]

Smart will start and NL41 was the first to know it. Gotta give credit where credit's due.

You're killing me with these

[Bad-Thoma]

Am I the only one who thinks maybe... just maybe... he actually broke his hand slipping in the shower? I'm not saying I don't have any doubts but I'm not calling bull on it either. People die falling down in showers. That is why there are so many people who smell bad, they are passing on their genes and non-bathing habits.

Damn. That was painful to watch

[Heinsohn Truth]

unless there is a picture of him on a boat with roy hibbert, i don't believe he fell in the shower.

[ballup]

Celtics can't get a break.



Dang it, poor choice of words.
