As a response to the excuse thread now that he's found his rhythm these past couple of games. Rondo is playing like the player we thought he could be, I for one am glad to see it.

Exactly.  He's being aggressive tonight and attacking the lane.  Some really nice drives to the basket tonight.  Keep this thing going!

sigh. i envy rondo's handle soooo bad. man, i wish i had that kind of control when i played. must be great to hardly ever have to cough up the ball thru pressure. that's the thing that really blows me away about him.

It's all about stringing games like this together.  He needs to become more consistent instead of teasing us with his capabilities.



Great thread by the way, TP.

Great game tonight by Rondo.  All he needed imo was to be more aggressive and take the open shots.  I was at the game the other night against the Knicks and he knocked down multiple jumpshots in a row during warmups, some 3 pointers too.

Rajon made a three, woohoo!
Seriously, when he plays like
this, we are almost unstoppable.
I like it.

Hopefully these last two games will be a sign of things to come for Rajon. Hated seeing him so passive. He's too good and too nifty a player to be so unagressive.

Praise for one game like this is nice but then again we've seen him do this in games before. As the previous poster said, the trick is for Rondo to do this more consistently.

two in a row now, but who's counting  :)

i was just happy he was aggresive with his shots and drives.

How do you guys highlight what someone else wrote and put it at the top of your post?

Setting picks for Rondo makes him aggressive. It also makes the Celtic offense very sacry.

You hit the "quote" button in the other person's thread and put your entry below the last "quote" phrase under their paragraph. If there are multiple ones make sure that you go to the very bottom or your words get buried in the middle of the upper ones.

No one on here has questioned the fact that when he is aggressive to the rim that he makes our offense so much better. He did that tonight and we looked good. It helps when he goes against a poor defender like Iverson though. He needs to make sure that he is just as aggressive against a Billups type player.

As far as his outside shooting, the three was nice. He seems to shoot a whole lot better when he is moving towards the basket instead of standing still and squaring up. I think he just thinks about it too much then. That jumper from the corner he took was horrible and not even close. He'd be better off to catch the ball, dribble a couple feet in and shoot his jumper while moving.

Nice game though Rondo. When you play like that and the rest of the team plays good D like they did, we are the best.

Perfectly executed moiso! Now if someone can tell ME how to put in the images and videos we'd be all set! TP to you.
