rondo with another turnover :-X

I'm a huge Rondo fan but he has hit a wall.
How does a third-year guy hit the wall in the 37th game of the season?

I don't know, but he did not play like this before that West Coast trip.

thats called a slump. a wall would mean his career is over because 8 TO's a night is his average.

I disagree. A wall is something you can get over, that is why the expression is used.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

  • Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...

Garnett has been playing excellent defense on Yao.

we have different definitions of that expression then, ive only ever heard it used to describe players reaching the limit of thier potential.

BBD, too.  I think our "little" guys, Davis and Powe, actually give him more problems than Perk does.

And a Pruitt sighting in a close game in the 3rd quarter.  I am pleased. :)

BBD with a huge game.

Just a little comment about him and his play. Many on this site think he's been playing poorly, but I don't see it. He's the second team's best defender. He's dropping that outside shot. He doesn't get a ton of rebounds but what he does do better than maybe anyone on this team is box out and clear his opponent from under the boards. He sets a great pick, has good court vision and is a good passer.

And he has to be in better shape because he's been throwing down some dunks lately, see tonight's, which he couldn't do last year. He's definitely got better hops this year than last.
