Got My Game Back

As most of you know, I had a few off games where I just wasn't getting it done. I didn't know what was wrong, but my game just wasn't there. I know that every game isn't going to be perfect (I am going to have some off nights), but this just felt a little different. However, I am happy to announce that my game is back, and I'm very excited about it. These past few games, I have been taking care of business and contributing to the team. In an effort to get out of my slump, I developed a new pre-game ritual. I think it gets me more focused for games than my old one. Instead of napping soo long and getting to the game three hours early, now I take a shorter nap and arrive at the arena a little later-I really think it works! Last night's game felt great-got the W. I felt like my old self, which gave me a lot of confidence to play my game. My agent was there. He came in town to meet with me about some business and stayed for the game. Duff is a good dude-always working hard for me. After the game, we flew to Minnesota. We didn't have shoot around this morning, so I got to sleep in. I just got finished getting a massage. I have a meeting in a little while, then my nap. Hopefully we will get this win tonight...as for now, I'll holla! O...make sure yall vote for the All-Star game. I'm trying to be there this year!

Rondo, Whats good.
What do you mean you got your game back? it never left baby boo. I was glad to see you at the game last night, even better with you scoring 18 pts, love watching you live. Once again you caught my eyes just glaring at you, darn if you werent 5 yrs younger and in a relationship, ou would be mine, lol. Just kiddin.
That was def. a good game last night, you played your heart out just like in any other game, regardless of what any says. You have always been good, to me youre just new and improved. There is always room for improvement.
Oh, and yes I will be voting for you to make it to the All Star game, youre def. one of the best players on the team that deserves to go. I actually voted for the starting five, what else can I do. I will make sure I vote everyday for you to get up in there.
OMG, its amazing just watching you play and watching you period. I am not a stalker but I know a good thing when i see one and thats you. Keep doing your self proud, make me proud and Boston proud as well.
Lets get this win tonight, you already said it, wish the game was home though so I can make it to that one as well.
If you happen to read these blogs, I am the one watching you when you look to your right when youre on the bench chillin looking around.
Anyhow, wish I can type more but work is just about over in three minutes and I have to pack up, but thanks for keeping us posted. Ur Da MAN

No disrespect, Rondo. But, you kinda-sorta don't deserve to be in the All-Star game. And I swear I mean that in the nicest way possible.

Nobody can be perfect all the time, so a little slump might not be too bad. Maybe it's good it happened so early in the season.

i really dont wanna come off as a bad guy or someone trashin ya'll i wanted you guys to win the finals and all but why are you guys so cocky this year? its like you guys arent even a lil humble... lol you guys can thumb me down im just callin it like i see it... why has one of my fav players ever K.G so pompous?

  cocky?? nah...they are just as humble, as last year...the real issue is, that all the stuff getting talked in their ears, every game, as they play every game with a Bullseye on back, and it gets to them...they react wrongly, and it comes across as arrogance...Rivers will never let them get "cocky", we all know that!...that's fact...but they need to stop reacting to certain trash-talking moments, and ignore it...they do that most games, still...and that team is very "in the know" in how much more even the league is now...they still attack each game with last year's approach...KG?, he's nutty anyways, a good intense, and he just gets sick of getting verbally abused every game...he'll be chill again...know your perspective, but they are not cocky...I can think of many other teams less humble...it's all about Doc keeping them from getting complacent
  - HayatoKanzaki1 replied November 23, 2008
    
    You know, they shouldn't talk trahs at all. You know what you do if someone's talking trash, play harder. Step up and play harder. Play so hard and smash teams to the point where you'll et in their heads instead. Thats just what I think though.
    - TheCaptain34 replied November 23, 2008
      
      how come 2 of the greatest players in NBA history were serious trash talkers? MJ and Bird, not to mention a ton of other top tier players in the history.. sorry but youre wrong
    - orions replied November 23, 2008
      
      understand your point that there should be no trash-talking at all...yet, it's part of any College or Pro Sport...a lot of players on ALL teams do it bro...the Celtics are just another team with a few incidents this year...everyone knows they are humble, under that Coach....if not, they would be traded...C's have some title swagger sure, but so does every champion in past, present, and the future...human nature...once agin, the C's problem in those few games, is that they have not been ignoring smack attacks against them...they need to tune it out, like today, and most of their games...grey area topic, sure, the C's just need to "100" get back to last year's mindset...and remember, they are taking hard fouls and everyone's best shot, every minute, every game...and agreed, MJordan/MJohnson, and LBird: when T-talking was way more severe, were the kings of it...Laimbeer, IThomas, you name it...it's almost vanilla now, the NBA and smack compared to then
    - HayatoKanzaki1 replied November 24, 2008
      
      Not really, just because you don't agree doesn't mean I'm wrong. I know this from doing so myself. Trash talking throws you off the main purpose. Its to win a game. When you trash talk your purpose go otherwise. Like trying to prove them wrong or make them look stupid. Thats not the goal. If you want to do something like that go to ruckers in NY or Mosswood in Oakland. This is the NBA and your goal is to win games and to continue winning until you get a championship. So forget trash tralking, let your game be the voice.
- Mizzy21390 replied November 22, 2008
  
  I dont think that the C's are cocky this year. Their slow start has humbled them. And plus, KG has always been that way. Im not going to thumb u down bcuz u are giving ur opinion, I just cant see the cockiness this yr. If one thing, Doc is trying his best to keep that cockiness down. The Nuggets and the Pacers have humbled the C's in my opinion. Those two loses that shouldnt have happened and that last minute win by Pierce in that Hawks games shows what we need to work on.
  - Mizzy21390 replied November 22, 2008
    
    and just like orions said, we have a huge bulls eye on our back. So teams when they come to play us, talk trash trying to get in our heads, and doing everything in their power to mess us. They see that the only way possible to get us off is by messing with our minds. Like orions said, i wish they can stop with the responding to their trash talking, becuase they are just playing into the hands of the teams. But that is a hard thing to do. To just let a team trash talk u like theyre better than u and not saying anything back... like Doc said, he wants them to stop talking back and just let their game speak for themselves...
    
    And that is why u think they are acting cocky, but really its just them talking back to the opponents trash talking. Once the C's learn to ignore it, (even tho its really hard to) theyll play even better, and get their opponents to shut their mouths... lolol

      Hi, can't believe the Raptors laid down like that today...they had twice as many Fthrows made over us too, so really a 28 point type W...dig it, yet I know we are not the almighty Lakers, but like the start...need 1 more Big man
- TheCaptain34 replied November 22, 2008
  
  wow buddy...KG has always played like this, if not more intense...are you that stupid? not to mention the celts had the same boston swag last year
  - orions replied November 23, 2008
    
    don't know if your talking to me, but they all trash talk...KG usually walks the walk, just opinion...doesn't talk the talk, only sparingly
    - TheCaptain34 replied November 24, 2008
      
      You said we arent as good as the almighty lakers? lets hope that was sarcasm...131-92
      everything the lakers do is designed to regain manhood that was absolutely ripped from every player on that team in the finals...the finals the lakers were favored in.

DavidGoods said November 22, 2008

Sup homey? Rajon, I have a few things to say. First of all, I'm GLAD you're back, people doubting you has always gotten under my skin, you're a humble dude and so is you game, I don't like legitimizing the doubters. You've played So well the last two games, but it was always there, the league's unpredictable, everyone struggles.

Next, I have to be the sideline pain in the neck coach for a second. Why don't y'all CLEAR THE HELL OUT for Paul more when you're struggling? It makes NO sense to me. If you're having a bad possession give him the pill and clear out, he's unselfish, if people help he'll find ya. The post up back cut clear out works and everything but why Doc in times of need perpetuates anarchy I'll never know. Rajon, you must be able to see this, it's so frustrating.

And finally, dude, I know you must read these and us fans say lots of stuff but I really hope you take this to heart. The Lakers are weak, they're flimsy, they're European. You must know and see this, throw on some Knicks games back in the early 90's, BEAT THE HELL OUT OF THEM. Don't just play hard, destroy them. Make them feel it. They're calling us out, all these early season blowouts against crap teams, you know darn well it's in the face of the C's. Sasha, Jordan Farmar, these guys are clowns. Pau is a MASSIVE flopper and a dude like you who plays hard every possession shouldn't have to deal with that. Perk's angry, Perk's always angry, I'm begging you, tell him Goods says "beat the heck out of Pau for the Goods". Have to man, get in their heads and they'll never get out of the funk. Kobe can't even say "Celtics", knock them out.

Cheers bro, thx for staying you, glad to see you're back to playing Rondo style ball, jam it down their throats. Look at your finger brother, you're the champ, they're not, make'em pay.

  Anyway, Rondo, congrats on torching AI. Stay healthy and get to the finals again!
TAExplosion said November 22, 2008

Keep being aggressive Rajon! Nobody can guard you off the dribble. Keep taking it to the rim. The more you attack the basket, the easier it'll be to drop dimes to KG, Paul, Ray and Perk. If you keep playing like you have in the last 3 games, the All-Star game is in your future.

Hey Rondo, I read in another article that you were using a Mac and having troubles getting pictures up on this site. I use a Mac also, and I was just wondering if you use Safari or Firefox? Sometime, Safari is flaky with some sites, so maybe give Firefox a try. Anyways, keep it up, and I hope we can get you enough fans to take you to the Allstar game.

Hey Rondo, don't sweat the times you don't feel you are doing your best because overall you make a HUGE impact on how the rest of the team does each game, because of the way you are able to set up plays and always find the open man, it makes it easy for the team to score, plus you seem to always out-play the opposing team.
I voted for you last year and I will definitely be voting for you again this year to try and get you to the All-Star game! Good Luck I hope EVERYONE VOTES! Anyway I'll be watching the game tonight, have fun!
