Rondo said he won’t be 100%, but he’s still going to play.

Rondo took a nasty spill in game 6 of the Eastern Confrence Finals that caused his back spasms to flare up again.

Rondo said he was 67% Tuesday at practice, but he said he wasn’t worried about getting all the way to 100% because he claims no one in the finals is 100%, well maybe, “One of our rookies might be 100 percent,” said Rondo.

Rondo said he’d be close to 95% by the time the Finals started. The flight across the country caused his back to stiffen up, but he has plenty of time to get that loosened up.
