I hope not. Doc told him he cant stop gushing about him. The media is all over him.

I just hope he doesnt get comfortable and think things will be easy. We still got to play and I hope he stay focused. Best beleive the next game is going to be even tougher.

That said I've got to give it up to Rajon he's a pleasure to watch

yup probably. These next couple games will be a maturity check for Rondo.

Nope. Everyone still says Williams and Paul are on another level. Rondo wants to be there too. That alone will fuel him.

Just keep doing your thing Rondo. We are loving it!!

I do get worried, particularly when he stops moving the ball. It was a huge problem, particularly in the first half, in game 3.

I have zero problem with him scoring as he does, but he still needs to run the offense as it should. You neglect your players, and the offense goes nowhere.

To his credit he bounced back in the next game and had an "OK" game.

I wouldn't bank on it.

He had an astounding Game 2 and then had a rather lackluster Game 3 which was a loss.  That's recent enough history that I hope its left an impression with him.

I don't think he will. And even if he (God forbid!) does have a bad game, who can say it's because it went to his head? I do hope, though, that his game went to the Cavs' heads  :) It must have.

I honestly think that Rondo is telling th truth when he still says the team's success still goes through the big three.

RA, PP and KG spread the floor like no other trio in the NBA. This opens things up for Rondo to attack and set up everyone. Rondo is a smart dude.

KG has said the Rondo wants "it" more than anyone else this season - so I think he sees the big picture. I'm not too worried about it, even his "ok" game in game 3 were still solid (18pts, 8 assists, 5 rebounds). He hasn't had a bad game yet in the series.

But at the energy level he's playing at right now, I do get a little worried about his minutes...

Perhaps a better question is: What if they start throwing double and triple teams with Lebron included on him to get the ball out of his hands? 

Rondo has eyes on the prize. But can he outsmart the Caveliers coaching staff when they try to take him out of the game? Can Ray and Paul help out with play making and added open looks?

I oly hope they try and double/triple team Rondo. If they do that, it will be lights out for the Cavs in my opinion.
