Rondo's game is penetration and that's what we needed last night
Theory vs Practice
Rondo's attributes is good in theory, but not productive in practice
In theory he has freakishly long arms, big hands, athletic, fast, passing skills, can penetrate any defense, fire in the belly, hates losing
But in practice, like what he produces on the court, isn't anywhere near his attributes
Has long arms, but has horrible perimeter defense, lets his man drive the lane constantly
Has great passing skills, but causes too many turnovers and holds the ball stifling the offense
Can penetrate any defense, but where is this skill in the fourth quarter? Scared to attack the rim because he's scared of his bad free throw shooting
Fire in the belly, but has so much temper tantrums, which costs his team to lose games. I know everyone did not forget how he cost the Celtics to lose so many games because his best friend Perk was gone, and was "sad"
I like Rondo. But the thing about him is that he doesn't take advantage of his impressive skills, and way too inconsistent. I rather just have a less talented point guard who knows his role and increases the Celtics' winning totals
