For a moment I was hoping that someone had come to their senses and was directing this at his complete lack of defense in that second half. You are 100% right that offensively Rondo is a great player. (even in spite of him having no jump shot) Defensively he may be one of the most overrated guys in the NBA right now. It was embarrassing watching him get lit up yet again by a point guard. Move your feet, fight through picks, stop trying to cheat every passing lane, and then you will truly be worthy of the praise. Until then you are good enough to keep us in the hunt, but not to get the stops when we need it. That's why he is still a second tier point guard.
