Anyone see Rondo hit that transition jumper?

[Celtics/Run]

And make 3-4 free throws?

[GrandTheftRondo]

Sure did 

He's getting better, no doubt about it. I think he's building confidence and there's nowhere for him to go but up.

He gets a consistent jumper and ups his free throw percentage...there really is no question about who the best PG in the NBA is.

Tommy did and mentioned in immediately! TP for Tommy

yeah, I thought after seeing him hit it so effortlessly: He should shoot most of his shots in transition, it would boost his confidence. Taking a wide open shot is tough on anyone, even Mike Miller.

I wasn't all that excited about his game last night, he let the offense flounder far too long.

I believe Tommy's quote was, 'if he had confidence to make that shot he could be a 30 point scorer'. My favorite from last night was, Mike Gorman: 'Are you a Devin Harris guy', Tommy: 'Nope'..'hes not my guy!'. That my friends is unvarnished.

he was definitely looking for his shot last night.

why did he keep posting up devin harris tho? it worked against eddie house and the miami pgs, but it wasnt working against the nets, yet he kept trying every play in the first half. i did like his aggression tho in wanting to score points so cant argue with that.

To the Nets credit, they emplyed alot of ball pressure to get back in that game. The 2nd and 3rd quarters they really bothered outlets and picked Rondo up full court. I think this is why the C's were looking to Pierce so much to create his own offense. They were setting up with less time on the shot clock.

This is true, but that's also on Rondo to make them pay for such pressure. If he can't get the offense going and create the C's are bound for trouble.

You know you're a bad shooter when you make a jumper from the foul line, and a new thread is started to discuss it.

  Either that or a bunch of people on the internet are fixated on your shooting.

Well, there has to be something there to get so many people talking about, even if it is an overreaction.

  Sure, there's something there, just like there's something to his being arguably the best defensive guard in the game and his averaging more assists than anyone in the last 15 or so years. Wanna take any guesses on which of those three seems to be the most meaningful to people here?

Good point. It will be interesting going forward to see if teams in the playoffs will try more pressure on Rondo. In the past couple of playoffs, teams have focused on stopping everyone else while letting Rondo roam more.
