He'll get his opportunity eventually.  Pretty cool he's made his first 4 NBA shot attempts.

Shooting like a regular Scott Wedman- and playing defense like him too...... :D

I've always hated coaches that let veterans, or upperclassmen(in college), make mistake after mistake, bad shots, dumb plays, or get burned consistently on D continue to play like nothing happened, while at the same time instantly pulling a younger player after a single mistake!  Talk about setting bad examples, and killing a players confidence! No more grievous circumstance, IMO.
More than any other player last nite, RR was torched so many times on D, he could have lit up the whole city! Pressey---Turner---JG---AB were all horrible, but not as bad as Rondo!  He hardly even attempts to play D anymore!  He still gets more than his share of steals, however, because he gambles so much!

  I'm not sure if the people complaining about Rondo's D actually watched the game. He spent quite a bit of the first 3 quarters guarding Lamb (who was 2-10) and Morrow (who did little until the 4th quarter). He didn't have the hardest of defensive assignments but he certainly wasn't giving up a ton of points on defense.

I would start Young at the two and Green at the three.

And I would have never resigned Bradley.

Re-signing Bradley was a much smarter decision than drafting Young.

Bradley tries hard, but he is too small to play the two and can't dribble well enough to play the point. He is also fragile.
