It's quite plain to see we are turning it on and off. And what matters is that we are turning it on for the big games.

Rasheed actually DUNKED against Orlando. TWICE! I mean, RASHEED!!!.

Unrelated: If Rondo gets that 18-foot jumper, I think he can become a 20-10 (points-assists) guy like CP3 and D-Will (hopefully adding 5 rebounds and 3 steals as well!). I remember watching him do one of his huge ball-fakes about 13 feet out and making the jumper against the Warriors. He usually uses those on layups, but if he can do those at mid-range....wow.

He has a very convincing pump-fake as well. People fall for it even though he can't shoot. With his quickness, hands, agility, dribbling ability and fake-moves he will be able to create space to get his shot off in the mid-range area easily. Now he just need to be able to make the shots!

I'm more happy that we've proven we can beat Cleveland and Orlando, than i am upset that we can't put away bad teams. Beating Cleveland and Orlando is all that matters.

Rasheed tried to dunk against the Clippers, and missed. Truth to be told, I think that was the turning point of that game, cause the next time we allowed an And 1, although I don't remember if the shot was missed or not.

Anyways, I think Rondo put up quite a few jumpers against the Warriors, and made them. I think he's actually having more confidence in his mid-range shot by the day.

Maybe I need to see more of it tonight to make sure.  :D
