    My thoughts exactly. What on earth is likable about rondo?

    Edit: I mean that from a personality perspective, obviously he's insanely talented. Just a douche

    Everything is relative, especially likeability. Rondo I am sure is a douche, but it is hard to dislike his game, save for his jumpshooting and (occasionally) his free throw shooting.
    Generally people have a hard time, especially in basketball, separating a player's game from the person/personality. I love watching kobe play, but I am sure he's a PITA. For example, according to many, the biggest asshole in nba history is also the best player ever (sorry mark, i know you are a bulls fan) If you don't agree, watch his hall of fame acceptance.

    I'm a bulls fan too and i totally agree with you, MJ is a huge asshole (and awful team exec/owner). I think it's Rondo's dirtiness on the court that leads me to dislike him

    I have seriously never seen poorer officiating throughout the course of a playoffs as this year. Are the refs as exhausted as the players from the shortened season? Unreal...

    Welp, Indiana has a pretty tough road to venture down to get into the next round, but damn if it wasn't a solid series

    Ray Allen and Avery Bradley are two of the most likeable players in the league. Pierce is a bit polarizing, but most people respect his blue-collar approach to the game and his one-team career. People like Rondo's unselfishness (although at times its due to a frustrating inability to make a shot), if not his demeanor. Garnett is the guy you love to watch for his intensity when he's not playing against your team, but if he is you hate him with a passion. Also, the Celtics give a lot of minutes to Greg Stiemsma. How can you not like that??

    PS Stiemsma is great

    KG has long been my favorite player in the league. Love that guy. I always thought someone should make an alarm clock with a KG figurene on top. 6am comes..."Wake up ************! This day is going to be a war! Let's go dog!!!!!! ARGRGHHHH"

    Really looking forward to the next couple games in the eastern conference semis. Im pulling for the Heat and Celtics.

    Welp, that's all she wrote for me and the Pacers, was an exciting series!

    Heartbreaker for me. I wanted the Pacers to win so badly. Great series and a great season for the blue and gold

    They are a young team and will be contenders in the East for a while as they develop their young talent. They could do with a marquee free agent signing, especially in the SG/SF utility roll, give them some scoring depth so they don't have to rely on their defense night in and night out.

    Think they'll snag Eric Gordon in the off season. They have a ton of money and can make a big move. We should compete for awhile.

    Would be a smart move, send me a convo with your shipping info and I'll try to get a box out to you next week.

    All eyes on the Celtics tomorrow night. Do I want to send a package to the Spurs owner or to the Heat owner?

    Finally, a series where I might get beer shipped to me....but probably not.

    Good luck, but I watched a few of the Spurs games and they were essentially unguardable.
