Fire Tubby?

Rondo for THREEE! Ahhh, what is he DOING!!! Rondo at the line for a one and one, CLANG clangclangclang, arrrhh. That seems to be the general sentiment lately while watching Rondo play. Anytime Rondo touched the ball there were restless rumblings in the Rupp crowd. I think the misguided three’s, missed free throws, and his apparent need to hold the ball for three to five seconds every time he touches it lately has people frustrated with him. I took some pictures during the game so I thought I would put some up here. The first one is of Rupp in true blue fashion (not to rip off WLEX or anything). The full size version makes a pretty good desktop wallpaper. The angle isn’t the greatest but hey, until someone wants to give me some center court seats that’s as good as it’s going to get.

Apparently either Rondo got upset over not starting or maybe he just had an off night, but from what some of the callers were saying the day after the game on 1300 WLXG’s The Sport’s Huddle they thought it looked as if Rondo was possibly on a shooting strike. It didn’t feel like that to me at the game but who knows what on his mind. I happened to take a picture of the UK bench in the 2^nd half and it shows Rondo as the only player sitting on the bench when the rest of the team is standing up and involved in the game. (besides Woo who had just came out of the game for a rest). Is that a sign of more Rondo frustration or just coincidence? I’ll post the picture tomorrow and you can let me know what you think.
