Rondo's effect on the CHICAGO PLAYOFF RUN😱😱😱

[@Smooth.Sniper215]

I said the same thing about Rondo. Once he went down in that series, it was over. He was the reason they got those wins.

Rondo should be a coach. He knows basketball. Period

[@travisstrickland7270]

Yea the Chicago Bulls coach. Our coach terrible 🙄

[@c-portraider7411]

The only problem is rondo would probably choke one of his players out, I like the fire rondo has for the game but I think his temper would keep him out of coaching

[@markislivingdeliberately]

He has the mind not the temperament. Maybe an assistant coach that gets thrown out here and there.

[@AnthonyJames-ew9nv]

Too bad that boy going to jail

[@IaMmAchInE21]

Rondo tearing his ACL during his MVP triple double season with the Celtics was my first heartbreak as a kid.

[@tbird55501]

We didn’t appreciate Rondo enough when he was in the league. My boy was a true floor general

[@quantellfields8681]

Yup the absolute truth. Rondo was picking our defense apart

[@fupalover]

He always balled vs Celtics after we traded him. First game back in boston he had 30+ points and was draining 3s. He dominated us 2 games in the playoffs. Then he was with LA he hit a GW shot.

[@ohdeckrails1123]

The next LA Lakers coach..

He took the keys to the car.😂

[@HOLYBASED]

what happened: rondo goes down who's our backup PG? lol it's MCW it's over

[@CoffeeMonster01]

yeah, that's way too big of a difference affecting the whole team's play style and tempo. if rondo made the whole team depend on him offensively, automatic lose as soon as he's out.

[@DiogoSantos-rp9vj]

Still remember this 😢

If Tmac, Grant Hill, Chris Webber, Chauncy Billups, & Vince Carter all made it to the hall of fame Then they damn sure better allow Rajon Rondo to get in he’s a hall of famer over those names

[@thatkidbloo]

Never liked him much growing up, after watching that series I realized how great rondo was no matter the age. Had something good going in Chicago w him

[@nathanielmelendez3815]

I remember this vividly. I almost went into cardiac arrest when rondo got hurt

[@InfamouSpectre]

He should coach

[@JayMars23]

That series showed the difference a true point guard can make when running an offense the way it's supposed to be ran... Bulls are also seeing this happen to them again over the past couple years with the inconsistent play they've had since Lonzo got hurt.

[@AirunDevon]

We were going to the ECF that year if Rondo doesn't get hurt. But I was glad we didn't. Because that team was fools gold and needed to be broken up.

[@sportsgenius91]

The United Center is quiet! They need to improve the atmosphere

[@ladarrellhickman4742]

Before Rondo got hurt it definitely looked like the Bulls were about to sweep the Celtics!

[@Lost1ne33]

Kenny really know wtf he talking about

[@CoffeeMonster01]

right, coz knowing that the team won 2 games with rondo then proceeded to run it down to cancun as soon as he's out is hard to notice...all you need is a set of eyes to know that.

[@Lost1ne33]

@@CoffeeMonster01 lol okay their bud

[@hib1326]

@@CoffeeMonster01The point is he said it before Rondo went down, after Rondo went down, and after the series was over. It’s not that he waited to say it until after the series was over. The fact of the matter is that Rondo was that important despite having Wade and Butler.

Was that Robin Lopez shooting a 3?

[@sdude0572]

He could’ve been the greatest of all time if he could shoot, because he couldn’t run an offense

Anyone else remember how weird that season was for Chicago? I think it was 2016-2017. They went from starting rondo, to have him barely playing off the bench or not using him at all and then to really using him late season and playoffs. What a disorganized mess Chicago was that year. They kinda just threw some pieces together with no plan.

[@Seejaygreen]

He's spitting facts playoff rondo was real

[@seven3oh]

This was when Fred "the boy" Hoiberg was coaching my bulls. No one had respect for him, as a coach or as a man. In a pathetic attempt of authority, he significantly cut Rondo's minutes in the regular season for 'lack of effort'. In the playoffs Rondo proved that he's a better coach and still an impactfull player. Bulls might not win that series even if he does play, but his impact was undeniable in those first 2 games...
