Rondo is not the best PG in the league, he cant really shoot all that well, but he is quick and is a fantastic passer with great court vision, thats a PG's job. Im just saying because Chandler is playing hurt and his injury is pretty bad and one more fall or hard swipe at his injured wrist will really mess **** up
Anyone who watched ESPN probably saw them rank the top 5 point guards. Rondo wasnt on the list, which shows that its at least reasonable to say hes not top 5. But at the same time dont get it twisted, ESPN has very little if any credibility.
I had no problem with the players they had in their list, its the order i have issues with
Derick Rose
Tony Parker
Deron Williams
Westbrook
Chris Paul
Not sure if i got the list right, im assuming Westbrook is the player i couldnt remember but my problem is with Chris Paul at #5, hes gotta be top 3 in my opinion. I actually do have Rondo in my top 5 but at the bottom of it
Rose
CP3
DWill
Westbrook
Rondo
Rondo's biggest strength is his passing. If you dont box him out, hes capable of having big rebound numbers. If u dont play him physical once he gets near the paint, he can score alot. And if u go for his somewhat predictable fakes. Theres ways to limit him because of his poor shooting. Dantoni needs to take notes on what the Lakers do to slow him down. Put a shooting guard on him...
Look at what he does against the Lakers...only 1 game, but
14pts, 7asts, 2rbs
Now lets see what he averages in 3 games against the Knicks
18.7pts, 13.3asts, 9rbs
Hes also played 3 games against Detroit, heres his averages
16.3pts, 7asts, 3.3rbs
If you only watch rondo against the Knicks then u probably think hes an amazing player.
Dantoni needs to gather up his point guards and watch footage of what the Pistons do to slow Rondo down. The pacers are another team that knows how to slow him down. If u let Rondo play his game, you will get raped with no vaseline.

Whoa your bugging I hate Rondo and the C's but he is great PG. Great court vision, passing ability, ball handles, athleticism, defense, on court leadership only thing he can't do is shoot.
And Rondo is a better PG than Westbrook honestly Westbrook is just super athletic and can shoot a little better but Rondo is better in every other facet of the game he should be a top 5 pg
Anthony Carter would have taken Rondo to school.
Rondo always brings his A-game against us. Not sure why, but all throughout the playoffs last year (and the three regular season games against us this season) he always seems to play better.
Its because theres really only been one Knick thats been able to slow down Rondo. Thats Jared Jeffries, but Mike D didnt put Jeffries on Rondo yesterday (from what I saw, i didnt watch most of the 3rd) and on Christmas day. Douglas got toyed with by Rondo last year in the playoffs. Lin showed potential but he had some bad lapses. I give Baron a pass since hes still not fully back, hes gettin there though.
there's always a guy on our roaster injured, Chandlers a grown a$$ man i'm sure he knows his limits regarding his wrist he's not going to overdue it. As long as the bulls stay in 1st i have no prob staying in 8th.
you see with the Heat there monsters on the offensive end and defensive end and there fast as hell. Not saying we cant beat them but, sure as hell wouldn't be a breeze.
With the Bulls they somewhat struggle offensively when Rose is not clicking, actually contain rose and the bulls are somewhat handicapped especially if boozer is off. I think we can upset them in a 7 game series.
