Rondo joins the Cavs

Rondo joined the Cavs to replace Ricky Rubio who tore an ACL in his left knee last week and will be out for the season. First game with Rondo will be tonight. I never liked him for some reason but now I guess I have to
Cavs haven't had much luck at guard this year as Colin Sexton went down earlier in November with a torn meniscus in his left knee.

I'm starting to think there is a good chance that Rondo will play for every team in the league before he hangs it up

I only remember him starting with Boston and then with the Lakers but there were a few others inbetween........He must like signing them one year deals.

That's twice now Cleveland went out and got a point guard that I was hoping to see Boston grab with Rubio first,now Rondo. He should create easy shots for the other Cavs players while playing solid defense. He's very much comparable to Rubio,who is slightly better from deep.

I am shocked to hear he is still playing

Even at his age (35) he's still a solid backup PG when given the minutes during the season, then come playoff time "Playoff Rondo" is still a thing.

He had a pretty good game vs Golden State although the Cavs lost. 15 points (3-3 3 pointers), 5 assists, he should get better as he gets more playing time with the rest of the team

He's gonna have a field day throwing em up for Mobley & Allen near the basket.

Wow,its gotta be all that time sitting on the bench in LA. He hasn't played much this past month and a half/two months.

Maybe - but at least he walked off the court on his own - a hamstring is a bitch of an injury compared to a cramp

Big difference between ESPN covering your every move compared to being a Cavalier.........
