"who is the worse free thrower in nba history??shaq maybe rondo shoots it just as bad as shaq he is a 55% shooter this season... but only difference shaq was a center and wasnt suppose 2 handle ball in 4th qrt in crunch time rondo is and doesnt peirce and allen do, rondo had 22 points but he gave up 23 ??Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. defense lets talk about rondos defense in 41 mins he had 1 steal 1 hmm u guys know defense is part of the game a big part of the game so tell me what did rondo do on defense?"

They find reasons to hate him because after all of his brilliance tonight, tommorow night he can easily play the exact opposite.

He isnt consistent. If KG, Ray, Pierce were ever as inconsistent as Rondo is currently back when they were the sole superstars of their team, they would be crucified by fans and media.

The Big 3 told Rondo if he wanted to be a superstar he had to bring it every night, unfortunately he hasnt took that to heart yet, hopefully one day he will.

He's one of those players that can win you a game in 5 minutes though, and can be more damaging than anyone, so he's definitely worth banking on.

I thought his early defense on Parker was shocking tonight, but that 10 minute spurt of offense was ridiculously good.

Rondo is going to run rampant in certain playoff matchups and probably have average effectiveness in others. He absolutely killed Cleveland last year and I think we will see something similar if/when we face Miami. Not very effective against Orlando/LA.

Unless he keeps that shooting stroke up like he did earlier tonight...I doubt it, but I can hope right?

I was in aw when that jump shot was falling, and he was shooting it with such confidence. He kept attacking the rim.

As for defense on Tony Parker, it wasn't Rondo's fault that the team D concept wasn't being withheld in the paint by the bigs an more than a few possessions. Mainly Kristic.

Where are those quotes?

I've been Rondo's biggest critic on this site, by far.
That said, I've got NOTHING bad to say about him over the last couple games.

He was BRILLIANT vs. San Antonio and Indiana. HOPEFULLY he can keep this up. Let's hope he's heating up at the right time leading into the playoffs.

If so, I will be MORE than happy to eat my words.

  If you think that the big three are consistent every game I'd wonder if you watch the team play.
