We won Game 3 with a one-arm/banged-up/adrenalized Rondo. A healthy "switched" Rondo would do wonders for us.

We also had KG going for 28 and 18 (or something like that) in that game.  I personally think that offensive presence in the paint was what really won the game.


Actually I was gonna give props also for Vintage KG but this thread is about between Rondo and Shaq. And as much I love seeing Shaq suit up and actually played, Rondo had a more productive night than he did.

Ironic is that on paper we could have been one of the best lineup ever assembled. And the only thing that could(still having faith) have stop us is this injuries.

If I pick a 100% Rondo, does that mean I get him without the plantar fascitis and whatever other nagging injuries he had going into the postseason, not just two good arms?

As much as I think a healthy Shaq would be a huge benefit, I'll take Rondo.  Ideally, I'd like both, but it looks like we're stuck with neither.

Well, my point was that a healthy Shaq would have given us something similar to what KG gave us with his interior offense.

Definitely Shaq.

We lost the first 2 with a %100 percent Rondo (assuming hes %100)

I think Rondo can still do a lot. He isn't as good as he is at %100 but right now You are getting 0% of Shaq to maybe at least 60% Rondo

A Nov.2010 version of Shaq would help us more than a healthy Rondo,why because Rondo can still feed the post(beast),and the other players as he is today health wise.What a healthy Shaq gave us was our best mismatch situation on the floor aganist the Heat.

You're right a healthy Shaq would simply crush the Heat's frontline, but Rondo is the one who initiates the offense. I'm thinking Rondo tossing lobs to Shaq right now might come in handy. And definitely both guys if healthy could have had a big advantage on their respective positions.

it's not just a healthy rondo that would have done wonders for this team. the c's could use a healthy rondo that has his head screwed on right like last year's postseason.

Rondo, easy choice, although I would gladly take both of them healthy in an ideal world.
