Rondo Takes Blame for Losses
Rajon Rondo says that he’s taking the blame for the Celtics’ recent losses.
“It doesn’t matter to me. I’ve been here the longest, I’m the team captain and I’m the point guard. Just like in football at the beginning they blamed Brady a lot. That’s just part of it, and it’s not wearing on me at all,” he told reporters after practice this week.
Rondo has struggled lately in the losses, including Wednesday’s loss in Charlotte.
Asked how to overcome the issues, Rondo said: “You let it go. I’ve played this game for nine years, I’m one of the best at what I do, I make mistakes, I own up to my mistakes, and it’s part of the game.”
Rondo also was asked if his recent trouble with turnovers had anything to do with having new teammates, and new lineup combinations.
It’s getting our chemistry together, and you have to practice,“ he said. ”We just threw Tyler Zeller in the starting lineup. It’s getting the rhythm, getting the chemistry, and knowing what plays we’re going through in the fourth quarter.”
