Today's Knicks game is why you don't trade Rajon Rondo

Rondo was clearly the best player on the court in the today's Boston - Knicks game.

18 pts 20 assists 17 boards...and only 4 TOs.  Fourth triple double of the season.  The only other player to ever have 15+ / 15+ /15+ triple double in the history of the NBA is Jason Kid (x2).

He dominated Jeremy Lin on defense, picked up tons of loose balls, and kept everyone involved on the offensive end.

Does Rondo have flaws in his game?  Sure.  Can he be inconsistent at times?  Yes.  But he's the best player on the Cs right now and is a top five PG in the league. 

You don't trade guys like that in their prime especially when he's signed to a reasonable if not below-market contract, and if DA does deal Rondo, he (and all Cs fans) will soon regret it for a long time.

When Rondo is at his best, he is incredible.

Today's game is why you trade Doc Rivers. Small Ball killed the Celtics. 11 of 15 Knicks offensive rebounds came when Doc made the switch.

This bench needs Ray Allen badly. They single-handedly almost gave the game away. Doc has to put Ray Allen on the bench. or Danny Ainge bring us Michael Beasley. Either way the bench needed a scorer.

If Doc Rivers is to blame for the team reverting to the Pierce iso offense for the entire 4th quarter, then yeah, this game didn't speak well for him.

Rondo was amazing. He's a reason to watch NBA by himself!

WTH are you talking about? Pierce saved Celtics today. He went toe-to-toe with Melo. Rondo will get a lot of props because of his stat line, but he missed gazillion layups in the 4th

According to basketball-reference.com, players with 10 rebounds and 20 assists in a game (points-rebounds-assists), sorted by rebounds

Fat Lever in 1989, 15-13-23
Rod Strickland in 1998, 21-12-20
Magic Johnson in 1988, 32-11-20
Magic Johnson in 1991 playoffs 16-11-20
Jamaal Tinsley 2001, 19-11-23
Rajon Rondo in 2011 playoffs 15-11-20
Rajon Rondo 2011, 12-10-23
Rajon Rondo 2010, 10-10-24
Magic Johnson, 1099, 8-10-23

Rondo breaks his tie with Magic Johnson for most 10 rebound, 20 assist games and now has the most rebounds for a player with 20 assists in a game.  Three of his 10-20 games have come against the Knicks.

Ironically theses are the types of games Danny Ainge would trade a player for, so he can auction them to another team. Like a dangling "See how good this player is" type of scheme
