Paul and Rondo should split quarterbacking duties

The return of Paul to his usual self is a big reason for the Celtics playing how they should be. I feel like part of Paul playing so well is the fact that he is manning the ball and creating offense for himself which in turn creates open shots for every one else. When Paul is running around, looking for screens, he doesnt get in a rythym. I think when Rajon comes back, he and Paul should take turns ball handling. I think this would simplify Rajon's reponsibilities. Instead of trying to balance offense and passing at the same time, it would allow him to be a scorer at times and be a passer at other times. That, and it would allow Paul to use his skills as best as they can be.

I think we are fine with Rondo finding Paul for most of the game. When Paul is on, he gets to score a bunch without too much exertion on offense. That gives him more left in the tank in the fourth quarter when we lean on Pierce more.

We should probably evaluate Paul based on last season, not based on the first few games with Rondo when he was out of shape.

The problem with Pierce playing point when with Rondo on the floor is that Rajon can't shoot so Paul has limited options to pass to when double-teamed.. RR can't drill clutch threes like what happened tonight with Moore..
