Rajon Rondo and the Dallas Mavericks were always an awkward fit. He was supposed to upgrade the defense -- and he did -- but they didn't need a ball-dominant point guard or a disruption to their spacing. Since acquiring him in December, the Mavericks have not been able to figure out how to use him, and head coach Rick Carlisle benched him after he played 10 minutes in their Game 2 loss to the Houston Rockets on Tuesday.

That coach is one of the best in the business.

Rondo isn't a top ten point guard. Not close.

Seems like an easy decision here.

5th in assists.

2nd in rebounds.

Leads all active point guards in postseason triple doubles.

Fluke coach.

Not surprising.

I've never been much of a Rondo fan. He's got a bad attitude and is a pretty one-dimensional player. Of course he looked great playing with 3 Hall of Famers when he was first coming into the league.

I wonder if he gets benched for the rest of this series.

Chances are so good Rondo will be best buds with a next coach though.

Cuban's desperation after whiffing on Dwight: Trading for a horrible fit and overpaying for someone who should be the 4th-best player on a contender. And then he whines that the Rockets "aren't a very good team."

He was quick to change his post from "below average point guard" to "not a top 10 point guard" because he was about to get killed for saying it

As much as I like him, he seems like a cancer in the locker room with players and coaches...

He and Doc Rivers always butted heads during his time in Boston.

Brandon Wright would look good in a Dallas uniform right about now.
