Rajon vs Delonte

[ma11l]

I know that most of the focus and emphasis both here and nationally will be on what we do to try to control LBJ, and that' s legitimate.

However I am very much looking forward to the battle at the PG spot.  Rajon is one of my favorite players and I will always love DWest, he was one of my favorites last year.  I think whoever gets the edge will go a long way in helping their team to the Conference Finals.

Rondo has been a key all year and he has done a good job against better PGs than Delonte.  I think he can use his quickness and agility to penetrate at the initial point of offensive attack.  This will be a key for us.  He needs to draw the help and make the correct decisions.

Defensively, Rondo needs to be solid.  Stay within the scheme, stay in front of Delonte.  His game is being aggressive and getting steals and that's all well and good, but Delonte is a more of a shooter than a penetrator Rajon needs to focus on staying on that left hand. 

I don't think there was any will between these teammates last year but I can understand how both will have a chip on their shoulder coming into this series.  Anytime someone is traded they wanna come back and get revenge on their old team.  Also I can see Rajon being motivated as Delonte got more minutes than Rondo especially during that stretch where Rondo didn't play much at all.

As the rest of this series, this matchup will be fun to watch, and an exciting one.  Let's go Celts.

Remember how confused Boobie Gibson was in the Finals last year because he couldn't see the blur that was Tony Parker long enough to try to stop him on the offensive end? Well thats Rondo. Ragin Rajon Rondo.

Rondo is good enough at defense to make Delonte go right. Im not really worried beyond that.

Rondo likely won't get enough opportunities to really work over the Cavs guards. He could do a lot of damage if he did.

Bibby didn't do much against rondo. I think we'll be ok.

I think Rondo has the advantage in this matchup.

The cav's size is what worries me.  Zydrunas is going to be the X-factor.

I like PJ Brown on Z. I think he is playing better and better.

Rondo v Delonte is a very interesting subplot to the game that is being overlooked.  The front office didnt just trade Delonte away -  instead they chose Rondo over him.  Amidst all the stars, this is definitely a match up to watch + Delonte will certainly have a little extra motivation here.

Delonte plays hard. Thats what you have to worry about that. Delonte is the only guard on the Cavs I'm worried about.

I cant wait for the entire Celtics team to pick on Wally. We can score on him all day.

Agree completely.  I think PJ and Davis will be banging on him.  I think Delonte might be schooled by Rondo.
