At some point someone has to get fresh with Rondo and remind him the reason he become phenomenal in 2008/2009/2010 is because he penetrates, takes the ball to the hoop and then dishes out assists when the opposing team just don't know what to do with him.
This whole dribble and wait by the top of the key to wait for Ray to pop out of a screen, or Paul to slide to the 3point line, or Davis to pop or KG ally-oop.. he becomes less effective and easy to defend. He will walk away with 16 assists but we lose because his man will help cover ray and paul.
