As noted by Hornets Hype, Kendrick Perkins told Chris Mannix of SI that Rajon Rondo said "Chris Paul has the stats that he has because he has the ball in his hands all game."
From Hornets Hype:
This is terrifyingly like poking a dragon with a stick. OK, the Hornets look like a massive work in progress still, while the Celtics already seem to be clicking the best out of the potential title contenders in these early days of the season. So it’s not like we’re expecting a huge victory Sunday, or anything. But the fact remains that you don’t poke a dragon with a stick. It breathes motherfreakin’ fire. It’s not safe. I’m not saying the Hornets are going to come out and win this game, bulletin board material or not. I’m just saying if they do, the Celtics will know who is to blame.

How did Rondo diss Paul, if it was Perk who made the comment? FYI Rondo doesn't put down other players verbally, he just lets his play do the talking. If Paul needs bulletin board material to do his best, then he doesn't deserve to be an all-star. By the way, how is James Posey working out for You?

Um, I think it's obvious how he dissed him. Perkins was quoting Rondo.

Is Rondo trying to infer that Chris hogs the ball? If so, then why does Chris have all those assists.... & Chris Paul has the stats because he takes the nessesary shots that need to be taken.

That's the dumbest statement I've heard. Rondo needs to take off that dress and sit down looking like a drag queen. How you doing. SMH

cp is hands down considered the number 1 pg in the game, and if Rondo actually is running his mouth, I'd like to see the numbers he'd put up if he was playing for a team like the hornets..

Shouldn't Rondo learn to maybe shoot a decent jump shot before even thinking about taking a shot at the best PG in the league??

CP3 is not "hands down considered the number 1 pg in the game." You could argue for a number of guys, Deron Williams, Tony Parker, Chauncey Billups, etc, all of whom have performed better and taken their teams farther when it matters in the playoffs.
