"Rondo has three hall of famers; a better support cast than CP3/Rose"

[BballTim]

Rondo still has a better supporting cast, at least among the starters. Much better, even. Garnett is head and shoulder above the second best players on either team (Blake Griffin isn't there yet, until he becomes a better defender, passer, and figures out again how that 18ft jumper works).

  It's worth pointing out that before the season started, when so many people were busy making lists (that generally didn't include Rondo) of franchise players that you could build a contender around, Blake made most of the lists. Now he's seen as head and shoulders below a KG that's a shell of what he was in his prime. Maybe Griffin would get back to that superstar level playing with Rajon.

You're comparing different things. Right now, this second (or at least during the playoffs), Kevin Garnett played head and shoulders above Griffin. But Griffin will play for the next 10-12 years, and will get better, while Garnett won't.

Blake Griffin is still a guy you want to build around, but he's also just 22 years old, with his first full season and playoffs after his arrival.

However, not the point. The point is (the point you ignored from my previous post) that the criticism is tired, and mostly meaningless going forward. It was relevant in the past, but its not really relevant any more.

  I wasn't disagreeing or criticizing your post, just pointing out that Blake has quite a ways to go before he's really a franchise player.

A hyall of Famer...you mean like durant....no...why...because the C's are much older......Are you REALLY STILL questioning RONDO's skills....or are you just pandering for a big post/reply story...because we all know by now, if we had Bradley, we prob would have beat the heat..and it looks like okc also......WestBrook is not a point guard...he is a 2...and a very good one.....Rondo is close to the best pg in the league....because he is a pure pg.....he invented more passes...ones no one EVER even SAW BEFORE......!!!

Rondo maybe one of the only Guards in the league that has a game that screws up Miami s rhythum and defense.   Rondo is may be the key to defeating the Heat in future years.

We absolutely need him .

Not that Miami hasn't been troubled by Rondo, but Miami is troubled by most above average point guards.
