Besides AD, Lebron and KCP, I'm probably the most comfortable seeing Rondo attempt a 3. As weird as that still sounds lol


I donโ€™t expect his 3 ball hot streak to continue . He could struggle in this series against the zone but I think heโ€™ll will have more dimes on the lobs and backdoors.

Yeah, i dont see it going down much since he will probably get some of the most open looks of the post season in this series. As long as he doesn't get too over confident and start taking actual contested perimeter shots which is where he really struggles. Those open looks though, i'm surprisingly expecting them to go in every time this entire Playoff run

he hit a couple key threes early. I also love his constant coaching and preaching to the other players - always keeping us locked in. and of course some great organization per usual, clearing out space for AD on multiple plays

Definitely our 3rd best player ...... so wild to think he would make such an impact for us in these playoffs.

Rondo adjusted on the fly tonight when Vogel messed around with his rotation. He took command and dissect that zone with such precision that Lebron just let him run it.

Playoff Rondo has been a CRITICAL player for this run.

I thought we needed him for a Clippers series, but we actually needed this Rondo for essentially 2nd round and on.

Now the 6th all time playoff assists leader passing Nash and Bird. Likely will not catch Parker in 5th.

On an aside, LBJ will likely pass Stockton 2nd next game.

16 points/ 4 rebounds/ 10 assists on 5/9 FG (3/4 3-pt) in 26 minutes.

And +7.

His methodical way of breaking down the defenses and then shooting when the defense least expects it. One of the rarest talents in the NBA. So lucky we got this dude for a vet min.

Ridiculous steal at that price, really.

He is just different. He really sees the game well and makes great plays. He is exactly who you want alongside two other stars. He will just take over plays and get you a basket or a wide open shot for someone.

Then he actually plays smart defense to break up plays. He'll get you rebounds and push it up the court. Then he'll bail you out by nailing a long 3. Its just insane the team that we have.

As much as I hated them, he was the engine of them Boston teams. I didnโ€™t realize how important he was to them in those years.

That's really the key. Not only did they get an important role player for the playoffs, but they got him on a vet minimum deal.
