So who gets Rondos spot in the ASG. Kyrie obviously moves up to the starting spot

But do they go with Brook even tho they dont really need another Center. I think Deron is gonna get the nod so they go PG for PG even tho he doesnt deserve it this year.

As much as I have hated Rondo over the years... I don't wish ACL tears on anyone! Sucks for Boston though. \

Doris Burke reported the Celtics confirmed the news.

Watching the game, Doris came out the back and reported it as confirmed.

And don't know when it happened, but he played until the 2nd ot last night on it. I read a link on Blair and his ability to play with no ACLs too (there's a few football athletes without any either). Nobody was sure, but the consensus guess was just that since he never had any, somehow he and his body have found a way to run and jump and adjust to it.

No Bynum. No Granger. No Rose. No Rondo. If the Knicks or Heat don't represent the East this season they should forfeit their salaries for the year.

it was confirmed by ESPN 10 minutes ago

Damn man, feel bad for Rondo. This is it for the Celtics.

He'll be able to come back from the injury but its going to be a while. Did he tear it the other night without knowing? How did he not feel the pain then.

 

[dipsetgeneral]

This can't be real life

 

[datznasty]

In lighter news though,

 

[sumrndmdude]

Like I said Ray won't have his number retired by anyone, unless the Heat feel bad one day and he wins some rings during the next couple years. Not Seattle either, he wasn't there long enough and they didn't get far.

Even if Ray had stayed in Boston there'd be no guarantee they'd retire his number, he was only on the team for 4 years and won one ring. In a historic basketball town like Boston that's not enough. KG might not even get his number retired but I think they'll eventually end up doing it because he was the biggest piece in bringing the a Celtics back to relevancy and by the time he retires he would have been in Boston for 7 years. Pierce is no question, we all know that.

Milwaukee obviously will.

 

[jordan23dotcom]

First the pats now this..... Boston is officially on suicide watch

 

[big j 33]

Paul Pierce is going to be traded before he gets home today.

Hopefully Steph Curry gets Rondo's all star spot

With Rondo out, that means neither the Celtics or the Lakers will be in the playoffs this year. High five.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Ray spends just four seasons in Seattle and they're going to retire his number? I guess.

 

[Coupé It]

Milwaukee obviously will.

Nope. Wasn't there long enough either and achieved nothing. They traded him for an old Gary Payton cause they didn't want to resign him, they don't care about Ray Allen in Mil. I'm telling y'all, Ray is a hall of famer but he won't get the honor of any team retiring his jersey.

 

[nycknicks105]

Nope, that means JR gets the spot!!!!!

ESPN looks a bit dumb disputing the rumor earlier saying there's no word yet. Should've just kept quiet til they got news.

that's because they want to be the ones to "break" the news...

video of the tear?

There is no video from my recollection. Rondo played from what I remember and he must've played through the pain for the most part.

its because they didnt want to look dumb with everyone else reporting it so they just played it off as it wasnt confirmed. Pretty much once it hits twitter, its the real deal. i dont even remember the last time an injury report turned out to be fake.

I would say they're better than that but they're not.

They kinda just exposed themselves seeing as Burke just reported the Celtics knew since halftime and yet she was reporting in the 3rd nothing was confirmed

 

[ripc]

 

[shox23]

I have a feeling Lee, Pierce, barbosa, and Terry will all be traded

 

[brandnew212]

man this rondo news hurts, but he comes back strong next season... also, he's tough as **** if he tore his ACL and still finished his last game w/ a triple double in OT... damn

 

[tyonenine]

I have a feeling Lee, Pierce, barbosa, and Terry will all be traded

For what

 

[Master Zik]

I have a feeling Lee, Pierce, barbosa, and Terry will all be traded

I hope when Rondo recovers he leaves the team.

C's confirmed it, but ESPN wasnt notified of it directly. So Espn/doris burke wasnt gonna confirm it just because it hit twitter first. even though, it's pretty much confirmed since most of the reporters were told from C's PR.

rondo's gm isnt really based on his athleticism, so his gm isnt gonna change. hopefully, he spends some time on that shot

C's gotta make a run for demarcus cousins because he is the one young guy out there that you can build around.
