I don't think Rondo is going to be a superstar, but he's already an allstar. I don't know if he's a knucklehead, but I do suspect that part of the problem this team is having stems from the fact that the squad is currently already in the process of transitioning into being Rondo's team. The big 3 is getting older and Rondo is getting better. Statistically, he's already our best player. That's definitely an adjustment. Technically, this team is already Rondo's. He dominated in the playoffs last year and has been easily our best player (statistically) this season. That might not sit well with some of the older guys (Pierce?) who aren't too happy with losing touches to a young fella. It was one thing to give up possessions to peers... it's another to give it up to a youngster. And I keep seeing at the end of the games, we are going away from what works (rondo controlling the ball) to some Pierce isolations. Might be an issue...
