Guess how many triple doubles Rondo gets next year.

[DJ Bento Box]

Well played, sir. Well played indeed.

TP to the man who doesn't need one!

I will be watching Rondo next year to see if he does the things he did not do consistently this year:

1. Shoot the ball decently from the perimeter.
2. Move the basketball through the pass and with the dribble.
3. Play every offensive possession hard.
4. Play every defensive possession hard.
5. Keep his man in front of him on the defensive end.
6. Fight through every screen.
7. Shoot foul shots competently.

Ergo, I could care less how many triple-doubles he has. They don't accurately measure improvement in his game.

I say he will get 15 or less triple doubles.

I say he gets 82 or less!  Beat that!

98 including playoffs.

If he could do all of that, he'd be the best pg in the league. I'll be happy if he could do 2-6 this year. On another note, I saw on twitter that Rondo is working with shooting coach Mark Price. http://twitter.com/goodmanonfox
Hopefully Rondo will be able to do 1 & 7 sooner rather than later.

Improvement is incremental, and he's got a long way to go on all seven. Any improvement is a good thing.

I'll go with a crazy number of 10.  I expect him to only get better.  Look for him to incorporate the 3 a bit more this season.  Oh man I can't wait until he's back playing with KG.

  Rondo could have a mvp-level season and you'd probably knock one or two items off of your list but add three more.

  By the way, do you have a list of players who play hard on every single offensive and defensive possession and fight through every screen? Because we should try and load up on players like that. A list of point guards who keep their men in front of them on the defensive end would also be helpful. Maybe we could trade Rondo for a decent pg, or at least an average one.

More excuses, eh?

Line them up.

Only too happy to knock them down.

  Where did you read an excuse in that? If Rondo's so bad at keeping his man in front of him you should easily be able to name a decent amount of point guards that are clearly better at it than him. Also plenty of pgs that fight through every screen. Go ahead and knock those "excuses" down.

  Based on your laundry list of extensive faults, it seems that a) you should be able to make an equally long list of faults for most of the pgs in the league, b) Rondo must be so wildly better than any other pg at everything he's good at that he's a good pg despite his faults, or c) he's a below average pg. Unless there's a d) that I'm missing?

EDIT: 7 is my total for the year including playoffs

regular season total: 4

I'm gonna take another sip of the kool-aid and go high on this one; 13.

[jayk009]

With KG and Rasheed on this team I can tell you he wont be getting as many boards as he was in the playoffs. I predict he will have around 6.
