Not a shock thread.

His playoff numbers that we onced scoffed at are pilin up

Not just based on him droppin 44, but the assists numbers arent going anywhere...the triple doubles arent either. If they matter for the legacy of J. Kidd, Magic, Lebron....you cant ignore them for Rondo. On this pace he will finish his career with J. Kidd type numbers (minus the 3's).

Last night was just the proof that the big 3 aint as integral to his success as we thought.

Men lie, women lie, numbers dont. Discuss

    Lol at quoting Mac Miller.


    He could get in. He already has a championship. If he gets another, he can start to focus on his numbers and get that PPG up.

    I have to agree. And the Celtics we're seriously talking about trading him, that would of been some of the STUPIDEST ? I ever seen.

    man ? still doubting rondo???

    ain't he prove himself like 2 yrs ago when he was going toe to toe with d rose dropping buckets while the old 3 were hurt/ineffective

    ? just hate on rondo cause they feel like he got a "gift"

    dude is just taking advantage of an opportunity

    how many other players land in fortunate situations and flop??? or don't live up to the hype

    just let that boy cook. stop hating and enjoy whats in front of you for once in your life

    Criticisims of his game is valid...dude couldnt hit a open jumper to save his life and still is a horrible free throw shooter...

    I said this months ago but if Rondo hits that midrange jumper consistently, he's easily the best point guard in the league

    Parker is the best pg in the league

    Even after the big 3 are gone, he has the skills to make the team better

    Rondo will have to do this for the rest of the series for the Celtics to even have a chance. They gotta win 3 in a row now.

    I think he will be when its all said and done, Rondo needs to start playing as if he is a jump shooter, he came out firing and had an incredible first half, 3rd quarter he got away from it and passed up like 3 open mid range looks and our offense was stagnant, thats when we fell behind, but its funny to me how people get caught up in a performance like that one, I agree that Rondo with a jumper is the best pg in the league but until he proves he can do it consistently hes still top 5, during the playoffs last year people were calling Dirk a top 3 PF of all time and all sorts of crazy labels and this year people forget that even happened, 2 weeks ago Westbrook was the best PG in the league hands down, this past week it was Parker, after last night its Rondo, people need to slow down

    Parker should have been 1st team this year but he aint the best point guard in the league

    No doubt. If he had a long range shot he'd be the best pg today IMO.

    Rondo played great but they still lost and it was 1 game wanna see him shoot more efficient like that all the time but Rondo did his thing but @ the end of the day it was a lost still wondering if the Celts got enough in the tank for GM 3

    They'll be non-descript for 2-4 years. They'll fight for 7-8 seeds, but at the same time they'll be drafting in the late lottery/mid round, so they cant really get better

    But Rondo will put up sick numbers
