Rondo said it was the first time he's dunked in 3 years, doen't even do it in practice anymore. Your comments? Should Melo have blocked it? Is it Calderon's fault? Does it mean Melo should not play PF?

The video show how poor our half-court set up on defense are, we are playing individual-defense on a non moving team in the video, we are defending to close to men without the ball, plus having 3 players (KP, Sasha, Afflalo) not keepin their eyes on the man with the ball.
When Calderon seen how Cousins kept backing up our rookie KP Zingis, Calderon was suppose to push KP into Cousin to stay in front of Rondo.
1- Calderon letting Rondo get pass him so easy
2- Melo being the help-defense had enough time n space to challenge Rondo for a block
3- The above to veteran-players are who the rest of the team look for leadership-decisions on the court.

Good analysis, can't make a general statement over one play but Rondo saw his opening as soon as Boogie and kp6 moved to screen off Calderon. Melo was closer to the basket than Rondo and could have given a better effort in challenging the shot, Rondo is a 40% FT shooter, foul him if necessary to prevent that dunk.
