Having him or Lonzo at all times is going to be awesome. No more Ennis/Caruso.

| Loving Rondo and his style of play. Agreed that I had some reminders of Nick when I saw the #9 on him. |

I'm surprised there wasn't more love too, he killed it IMO. Court vision is incredible, he was making everybody elses jobs much easier. That sequence where Bron passed to Rondo in the low post who touch passed it to McGee for the wide open dunk was delicious.
Also that penetrating bounce pass out to Kuz for the 3 is no easy pass to make.
The idea of him, Bron and Zo on the same squad let alone the court at the same time is scary as hell. |

| He's nothing like Nick, Nick would have shot 10 3s a game in today's NBA, Rondo only shoots as a last resort |

Rondo will prove to be god send for this team.
Let me tell ya'll about the book of Leviticus where...
He reminds me of the storied wish bone you break in half...
In ancient Chinese culture, this is a story of an old man by the watering well...

but seriously Rondo makes us significantly better and once he's running that 2nd unit, look out for our bench unit. |

I think you're joking.
But just in case, we're referring to the # and body type. Not play. |

I really appreciate how he trolls the opposing team at the FT line.

Offense = good, though he isn't on a same page with dudes at times yet
Defense = pure trash |

| Rondo has been killer for us on offense. The minute he steps out, everything quickly breaks down. |

Rondo and Hart have earned their starting jobs. I'd be very surprised and disappointed if either one didn't get to start comes October 18th.
Rondo is only 32. If he played well and Lakers made it at least to WCF, then maybe he could pull a Durant and give us a discount and remain with us. He and Lebron could start together for the next 4 years so Lonzo might have to take a backseat to Rondo.

| If Rondo can hit enough shots from the outside to keep the D honest, he will be one of the best pg's in the league this year. |

Same thing can be said about Lonzo. Lonzo's got almost everything except for a nice jumper. So far, Rondo is showing he's got his jumper working. Let's see what kind of new and improved jumper Lonzo's got once he's back in the lineup.

I'm starting to think a lot of his defensive reputation was established because Kevin Garnett allowed him to freelance without fear of getting burned.
