I have noticed a trend so far this season that really baffles me. When we are taking the last shot of a quarter Rondo is isolating his guy at the top to take the last shot. Teams are not doubling the guy knowing he isn't going to get all the way to the rim, which forces him to shoot the pull-up jumper at the buzzer. Since we all know how great a shooter Rondo is this seems to be a terrible idea. I haven't seen him make one all year in this situation. It's likely that trend will continue. Why on earth did we go away from PP having the ball and taking his man in this situation?! Even Ray would be a much better option than Rondo. It makes no sense. If these guys hit 1-3 even that will make a difference in close games. What gives Doc?!
I noticed this too. Quite puzzling. May Rondo is doing it on his own?
defintly not, if he was doc would be on him about it, when they have the last shot you can see doc up telling rondo to take his time.
I think the idea is as manup said, that he can get someone a shot off his drive when someone comes to help the man he beat off the dribble.
ona side note EJ, TP, i agree with you, ive never understood either the "lets take a quick horrid shot so we get the last one!" play or the iso until the clock is at 5 and then try to do something play, even more so at the end of games.
run your offense and get a good look IMO.
