Rondo has embraced his role, but he's taken it a little too far. You have to know when to shoot as well. He gets wide open looks that he passes up with the shot clock low because he knows he's not supposed to be a scorer.


He is, however, getting better. I can see him being a very good point guard who is over shadowed by the better scorers on a team sort of how Eric Snow was his whole career. He plays good defense, handles the ball well, can score when he needs to, now all he needs to do is learn how to make some better decisions, which takes experience


Yea, I agree. Game 5 against Cleveland was a glimpse. Dude was crazy. I also think Doc Rivers is not coaching the Celts right. How he handles his bench and everything, iunno. Put a better coach for this celtics team i think they easily could have eclipsed 72+ wins and not struggled in play-offs.

As one of Boston's most passionate fans, I think Bill Simmons explains it perfectly here:

also check out his article about Garnett not being clutch player (which i agree)
