He has looked pretty good that last couple of games taking them. I wish he would take the open shots that he gets every game and not just some games.
I agree that Rondo should never be hesitant with his shot. But I don't think he should just take every open shot that he has, especially when they're playing a team that has no shot-blockers, and he can get by his man.
No matter how good your jump shot is, a layup is always better. The Celtics offense runs better when Rondo is attacking the rim.
Agree. I was referring to the wide open one's that people are giving him that a PG needs to take.
I'll back EJ up on this, TP, i notice this too.
If he thinks about it, he's about a 20% shooter and his motion seems real jerky.
If he's in "i have to shoot mode" late in the clock or if its him catching and shooting off that curl play we run off ray's screen (I think im describing that poorley, but its the set that has ray come off a screen and curl towards the basket. Rondo rotates to the spot ray leaves, and he's hit a couple shots where ray kicks it to him behind him) he's much better.
I think this goes back to the confidance issue thats been noted by people attending the games and seeing him hit shot after shot in the pregame. When he thinks about it, he suffers. When he's in rythem and doesn't think, its a good shot.
