What In the Name of Rondo is Going On?

(Jack Cobra back and ready to attack, or something like that)
My entire world has been turned upside down in the past few days. First of all, my Chicago Cubs are in first place, everyone knows this. Next, I’m getting ready to go on vacation with the little lady and everyone knows how that usually goes. Finally…..Rajon Rondo may not be the starting point guard for the Celtics next season? What the heck is going on here? This is so much worse than the WSM? crap that you guys are getting all riled up about (more on that later). Do the Celtics not know what/who they have in Rondo? Are they unsure of his Rondo-ness? A word from the Godfather of Celtics Basketball, Danny Ainge:
“Here’s the thing with point guard,” Ainge said. “You know how much we love Rajon, and that’s really important, but Ray Allen wants to play minutes at point guard, and Tony Allen two years ago, when he had a chance to play point guard, played fantastic. Our offense was more efficient with Tony Allen playing point guard than with any other guy during that stretch.”
“And we think Gabe Pruitt can help us there. Even though we don’t want to count on Gabe as a rookie coming in and playing a major, major role, we feel very confident with him (in that) role in case of an injury. We think he can help us there as his game evolves.”
“And then Eddie House has played the point, and we think Eddie is actually a very good fit playing alongside Ray or Tony,” Ainge continued. “So we think we have five guys more than capable of playing the point.”
I’ve heard of like…..two of those guys. I wouldn’t know who Gabe Pruitt was if he lived next door to me and borrowed my vacuum cleaner every Thursday. There is no way Ray Allen is playing point guard, he couldn’t guard…..me. There is no way this can happen and there is no way this will happen. Just wait until Rondo gets to training camp and starts flashing that killer crossover and passing balls into the first row during the pre-season games. The Celtics won’t win this season without Rondo in full effect.
Next on my list of grievances…..to the people complaining about the WSM? movie. Get over it, it’s coming out at some point. If you knew how many emails (two) I’ve received from The Cavalier saying he’s been busy working on the movie then you would be a believer. If you must not believe though…..do so at your own risk. See what Rondo is doing above? That’s called the Rondonator. That Tennessee player (Chris Lofton) said he did not believe in the WSM? movie and see what he got? (Yes, The Cavalier has been working on the movie since Rondo was in college) You will be receiving more of the same, if not more. Including Chinese Stars.
Finally, I’m either going to make a huge fool out of myself here or be right on target. Either way, I don’t really care. Who are these frat boys that are commenting on the site? I think they are all fake and there is certainly not a DeltaGirlASU commenting on here. Becky would not allow that! It’s all too fishy based on the times when people are ’supposedly’ commenting. I’m a firm believer that it’s just Jordi and Boney jacking around and using their multiple personalities to stay occupied during the day. Feel free to give your own ideas on that situation while I try to figure out why we are taking all of this luggage just for a weekend excursion.

Rondonator? That’s clearley a Rondo-house kick.
Oh, that’s a good catch. You beat me on that one Frank
“everyone knows how that usually goes” –You get dumped on Saturday night and endure an awkward 10-hour side-by-side plane ride on the way home? :-p Come on Cobra, leaving huge openings in your own writing so you can be mocked about your personal life is, um, the job of every other commenter on this site, not yours.
I meant the whole…’why are you taking all of this stuff?’ ‘can we get going sometime soon?’ ‘yes i’m really looking forward to it.’ conversations. There won’t be any dumping on this trip, she’s cool.
Dude, if you don’t dump for a whole weekend, your innards might explode.
I wouldn’t have made the joke if I thought I might be right.
By the way, I recently moved and laugh every time I go to this one grocery store, because they sell stuff with the “Roundy’s” brand name. Cav, does the Orange Roundie know about this?
Jordi, I’ve noticed that someone has been a little cocky around the comment section lately; getting more junk mail these days? Have you been recently been promoted from “Assistant paper-shuffler” to just “Paper-shuffler”? Or, it wouldn’t have to be that you found another young harlot in desperate need of publicity and interviewed her on your blog, would it? Ooh, this one wants to be a savvy businesswoman, not just as a pretty face and big boobs! Perhaps maybe someone should tell her that after one graduates college, you don’t! need! exclamation points! after every! sentence!
And I find it interesting that Becky has been absent from Yaysports and all comment/blog sections since the Cav went to visit her. Conspiracy theorists, start your (search) engines! Did the Cav kill her with a wrench in the library, with the assistance of Colonel Mustard? Was “Becky” the work of a 15-year-old boy with too much time on his hands? Debating Becky’s existence is much more fun than race wars, and earns the blog a full 3 steps forward on the Blog Suicide Watch.
If you don’t believe becky is real, then I’ll be able to imaginary have her all to myself!
by the way, just illegally acquired Kanye’s new cd… it’s a little bit of a show
MCBias, take a breath, count to ten. Calm down. And stop being jealous that I have models on my blog while you have people juggling their balls.
Models? So that’s what you’re calling them now? Um, too bad the latest interviewee couldn’t even get a modeling job until she called Playboy, so I think your term is rather generous. I enjoy interviewing attractive women as well, but you know, Jordi, there’s ways of making it less obvious that your blog is your only opportunity to get a date. I present your questions
“What about guys who write for sports web sites and blogs?” and
“What if he was this great writer and you were absolutely smitten with his words even before you saw him? Would you still wait?” for the perusal of the jury.
Although I have to admit, the juggling balls line was a good one.
Attacking other people’s blogs and their subjects just lubricates the slippery slope of blog suicide.
lubricate… interviews with playboy bunnies… wtf is on your mind there Jordi SCRUBBINGS?
Ha, wow, I like Boney’s not here a lot more than Boney. Of course, I only say that because Boney isn’t here reading this. Boney was the most…Wait, I’m over my char limit for Flame War Friday. Next week, perhaps.
Let’s just say it’s Friday and I got the johnson’s baby powder and the polo cologne. Not to mention I’m fresh dress, like a million bucks, I got on the bally shoes and the fly green socks.
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa fresh to death…
nice Jordi Scrubbings… very nice
Ha, see, I knew Jordi was cocky today. Oh, ok, Jordi, enjoy your day. Armistices all around, and such.
“Feel free to give your own ideas on that situation while I try to figure out why we are taking all of this luggage just for a weekend excursion.”
Don’t forget to pack all the lotions, make-up, tampons and such. Plus whatever your wife needs. HIYO! Seriously tho, go Benoit yourself.
“by the way, just illegally acquired Kanye’s new cd”
For the most part, sucked balls. Other than “Drunk and Hot Girls” or course.
Does The Cavalier and his penchant for “we” still run this declining site? Ever since I left this site has sucked more than Janet Jacme. Granted i’ve visited maybe twice these past 3 months, but seriously. And whats with all this Celtics hype? No team with Rayneesha Allen will ever be worth a damn i.e the Seattle Supersonics, Bucks. “Rajon Rondo” (whoever that is) couldn’t guard my 12 yr old cousin. Out.
Wow, There is no way Ray Allen is a good point guard. He is a shooter.

Brad
actually he is going to be the starter. this is something that has been reiterated ad nauseum since the season ended. ainge was referring to the backup point guard situation, as they don’t really have a backup point guard at the moment.
sorry to bore you with facts, jack cobra!
long live the league of uninformed bloggers!
I just thought it was weird that everyone uses the same laptop in the one room. Is there some filter on the university’s website that only the one laptop is capable of cracking?
ray allen will be running point like 10 minutes a night as a backup like he did in milwaukee and in his first year n 1/2 in seattle (he played pg half the time during that time in seattle)… and he was the pointguard at uconn while their…………………………. CALM DOWN! YOUR BOY RONDO IS THE POINTGUARD!!!! AINGE IS JUST SAYING THAT THEY HAVE QUALITY BACKUPS IN EDDIE HOUSE (BACKUP PG FOR THE 50 WIN, CONFERENCE FINALIST 2006 PHX SUNS), AND RAY ALLEN……., AS WELL AS THE PG/SG OUT OF USC GABE PRUITT (DELONTE VERSION 2).
yeah jack cobra, how dare you question Rondo?!?!?!
League of uninformed bloggers = anyone who doubts the starting 5 of the Celtics and umm… Doc Rivers!
I just read that entire list of ‘backup’ PG’s and have yet to see one I would deem ‘quality’….
I actually like the idea of the Celtics’ fans being happy to see Eddie House as a potential backup to Rajon Rondo.
Eddie House hasn’t lived up to the hype since he put up 61 points against Cal in 99-00.
Eddie House = Damon Jones less the shoe deal in China.
