Here's the sequel thread to "Rajon Rondo's February":  http://forums.celticsblog.com/index.php?topic=69934.msg1631531#msg1631531

Based on his February, it was proclaimed that Rondo's shooting was "much improved".

Here's his stats for March:

11.4 points, 11.1 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 1.3 steals - 36.8 minutes - 37%/24%/56% shooting

Pretty turrible shootin.  Thoughts?

To me, it seems he's as bad a shooter as ever, but now he's a terrible finisher as well.  This is partially because he's coming off an injury... partially, because he's no longer sharing the court with 3 hall of fame champs carrying the offensive load and drawing defensive attention.   Collectively for the season, his 3P and FT shooting is as bad as ever.  His overall FG% is a career low.

I can probably save him some trouble.

Hopefully we get some stars in here next season for Rondo to pass the ball to.  I think as long as you have 3 hall-of-famers spreading the floor and drawing attention, Rondo can be an effective scorer inside.  I remember back when Rondo was in his prime a few years ago in playoffs 2012... he was pretty money back then.  I don't think his shooting will ever be a positive factor, though. It's always going to be an issue for the remainder of his career.

I'm guessing it's vertigo.

  We'll see how much of it's due to his coming back from injury next year. Hopefully your claim that he's missing shots because he's not playing with the big three will prove to be as accurate as all of your posts claiming that his being on the court with those guys was the main reason he got all those assists.
