I love Rondo, but he is either unable or doesn't want to stay in front of his man on defense. So frustrating.

thing is he's quick enough to stay in front of his man he'd just rather use his wingspan from behind to get steals smh

I still remember the playoff series vs the magic a few years back when anthony carter killed Rondo just because he refused to focus his defensive effort on him

I'm not convinced that is a horrible defensive strategy on Rondo's part.

Hey KG, buddy, my boy, good job trying to get high % buckets in and around the paint and along the baseline..however when your turnaround jumper is not working get closer to the bucket and attack the glass. you're welcome.
LET'S GO CELTICS!

  Translation: someone scored a couple of easy baskets against Rondo in a game.

Rondo has to have at least 5 turnovers

Translation: just about anyone being guarded by Rondo gets to the hoop at will every game

why can't Rondo just takeover offensively?

edit: there you go. More of that please.
