Iwouldnt trade Rondo for no one right now except for LeBron or Durant, lol. Rondo almost got us to the finals by his self. Had a great playoff run
You need to lay off the green kool-aid, my friend. If Rondo played any defense whatsoever, we'd be in the finals!
sorry but you don't get named to nba all defensive team by not playing any defense
Chalmers, Holiday, and Teague all averaged more points per game in the playoffs against the Celtics than they did in the regular season. Who was guarding them? RONDO!
Do you not understand how rigged the NBA awards are? If you think Rondo is a top defender, you are either overwhelmingly engulfed in your own homeristic attitude towards the C's, you are have bad eyesight, or you just don't understand the game. Rondo isn't even close to being a top defender on his own team. KG, Bradley, Dooling, and Pietrus all played much better defense in the playoffs. He's lazy. He takes plays off. And his worst offense is when he challenges at the three point line pre-dribble, let's his guy go by him, and then goes for the swipe form behind. It works 10% of the time. The other 90%, it's a 5 on 4 play.
Rondo is one of the best, if not the best, defensive point guard in the league among elite level point guards.
He does what a good defensive point guard does better than anyone else. That is being a disruptor.
If you want to make the claim that he's a terrible defender, you need to compare him to other point guards who play 35+ minutes a game and are in charge of running a team. It doesn't make sense to compare him to defensive role players and a big who is one of the best defenders in the history of the league.
