Ainge: “[Rondo] definitely needs some time off”

“I think that the adrenaline was still flowing,” Ainge said. “I think that Rajon is young, and he feels fast and he loves to play, to his credit. I couldn’t believe he was back on the court last night. He wasn’t moving very well, even when he got back out on the court. You could tell he was still in a lot of pain, and certainly after the game it started puffing up. This morning there was a lot of swelling, and he definitely needs some time off.”

Rondo walked out of the arena on crutches… probably because his left foot was sideways about 30 minutes prior to that. 

Let's just sit Rondo for the rest of 2010.  Enjoy the rest of the year off.  Relax… rest the foot and hamstring… get back healthy after the ball drops for 2011.  Meanwhile, let's learn how to actually tie our shoes… maybe switch to some high-tops or tape your ankles… ok?  The same thing keeps coming up every year.  One of these times, it won't be just a sprain.
