09:04 AM ET 02.23 | What's gotten into Rajon Rondo? Doc Rivers [on Wednesday] confirmed what [Rondo] has been keeping to himself the past two weeks. Rivers said Rondo was bothered by being left off the All-Star team, and it led to a noticeable increase in his production and perhaps his two-game suspension. ... [Rondo] has been the Celtics' most consistent player this season. But when the All-Star rosters were announced Feb. 9, New Jersey's Deron Williams was chosen as a reserve instead. Rondo responded with 5 points, 7 assists, and 5 turnovers in a bizarre performance Feb. 10 against the Raptors. After the game, he said he wasn't bothered by the omission, but his pain was apparent to Rivers.

I Agree.... But you don't get upset.... You play like you deserve to be an all star... Example: Last year's Prime Snub, Lamarcus Aldridge.....

Rondo is a great player, but he takes things too personally. He cares too much.

If anyone doesn't understand why I'm beginning to think that maybe Rondo isn't quite the keeper people think it's little episodes like this that should help.
Grown up, man! Pouting and hiding in a corner because you didn't get your way is kind of stupid and makes you look like a head case... which I think you are!

We were the hottest team in the NBA without Rondo... he's back and things have gone to ****.
I'm becoming less and less the Rondo fan.

I don't think he's declined..... i think he's getting used to the fact that the big 3 are fading and he's going to have to be more productive in scoring....

Rondo main problem with getting overlooked in the all star game is competition. When Derrick Rose and Darren Williams are both in the east what chance do you have to make the team as a PG? there are only 12 all stars and normally they don't have three point guards.

This is at least the 3rd time outside stuff has affected his game ... I agree, it is time for him to mature. (happened with the Perkins trade and rumor about Paul trade also)
