How bad has Rondo been

Capybara · 01-09-09, 09:43 PM

Got no confidence right now... showing his youth... but the kid is too good, he'll bounce back.

First off I think the Celtics need to slow ther offense down. There not that type of team that run. That goes back to Rondo!!

He will bounce back when it's too late. This team is too good to ggive a big lead too.

I wonder if Mr.Richkas is putting the squeeze on him to tank the game.

Celtics have missed a lot of bunnies this game

His confidence is definitely down. Kid can't hit a shot worth his life at the moment.

He sucks!! I lost all respect for Rondo! And hell no he should'nt be on the all star team.

I agree. He was put into a great situation and before their recent skid, everyone was praising him like he was the next best thing. The kid is not THAT good. He still can't shoot and teams are figuring it out. Just leave him open and let the BIG 3 get their points.

you are right

No, he can't shoot, but (tonight aside) he does EVERYTHING else. Is crazy fast, distributes the ball, penetrates, even rebounds really well. Yes, he's maybe praised too much right now, but give him a year or two to develop his shot and he'll be an All-Star.

It not just Rondo, the Celtics have been sloppy with the ball. The Celtics could live with Rondo's poor shooting if he protected the ball, and facilitated the offense.

Giving up 33 points in the 1st quarter doesn't help either.

Rondo was a real momentum killer several times tonight.

Looked like a SCRUB when it came time to shoot that effing ball.

At times Rondo will pass up a wide open shot, to force a pass into tight coverage, which normally results in a turnover, or a forced shot because the 24 second clock is winding down. This must happen 5-10 times a game, if he took the shot, he would make one here and there or they Celtics would have a chance at an offensive rebound.
