Vearajo Is a clown, He hustle's sure, but they would be better served when Leon Powe gets healthy.. Is big contract is one reason the Cavs cant get any real talent around Lebron, That and they passed up Amare for Antwan...

Yeah I was scared of your big men going into the game so i thought that if i cant defend them anyway might as well try and make them turn it over. It worked for the most part, but i gave up a lot inside and my guys didnt have their best shooting night, especially Barr

Abbondaza is a good defender... I thought he might stymie Barr a bit.. just not that much

It is not hard to be faster then Allen, Pierce and Garnett aren't they already old enough for the NBA medicare program. With that said the Celtics deserve to be where they are no matter who, what, why they beat the Cavs and are now in the place to go to the finals, they deserve it. Rondo I guess we will have to agree to disagree. As a Celtics fan they love him, those of us who aren't see the real Rondo. lol

I've never seen someone get discredited for playing harder than most other players. I mean, that's excellent work.

Your analysis of the Celtics offense is truly stunning. So Rondo penetrates defenses, handles the ball and finds the open man - what's the problem here? Do you know who led the league in field goal percentage amongst guards? Rajon Rondo.

You're right though, watching him put up 18, 11 and 6 this postseason has been incredibly distracting. I get it, you don't like this player, but trust me, you're better off not talking about him until you can say something that makes sense.

I'm not saying rondo is a horrible player although through my hatred for him i know what i said sounded like i said that, but i meant that he gets way too much credit. This guy is not the best pg in the league and maybe not even top 10 in the league. "So Rondo penetrates defenses, handles the ball and finds the open man - what's the problem here?" The problem here is it is easy to stop that if you just don't follow him. Just forget about him on the court and he won't be able to get assists or score because he isn't a very good scorer(i say scorer and not just shooter because he's not to good on layups either). Also I'm not saying he sucks because he gets rebounds im saying him getting rebounds doesnt prove he's better than another pgs

I think one of the keys of this celtics is rondo. He is not the best PG in the league but he is for sure a top 10 PG in the league (you have to give the kid some credit). On top of that he is the type of PG that the celtics need. It is not about who is better it is about who can make the team better and rondo does.

I have a great disdain for the Celtics but I believe we may be looking at only part of the picture. Rondo the past few years has been maturing but the reason he is so effective is not necessarily his "talent" (not saying he is not talented) but it is the threat of Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. Most teams up to this point (people are now waking up) have come into the game and are saying we need to stop the long ball "don't let Allen shoot, don't leave Pierce open, watch out for Garnett. This is the first season he is making people pay for paying him no attention. Sooo I think it is a maturing Rondo, I believe some of his accolades are deserved I think others are undeserved but for what it is worth I would put him in the top 10 PG's this particular season. His top FG % is because 80% of his shots are layups--nothing wrong with that but I don't believe he will be a top 5 PG until he develops a jump shot past 18 ft. Bottom line is this a whole lot of coaches woke up and said we need to figure out a way to stop Rondo!

That's probably the most correct assesment of rondo, even though i hate to admit it.

10 pgs better than rondo in my opinion (in no particular order besides that all 10 are higher than rondo):
1. Deron Williams
2. Chris Paul
3. D Rose
4. C Billups
5. Steve Nash
6. Russell Westbrook
7. Aaron Brooks
8. Tyreke Evans (Stephen Curry) (BJen)
9. Jason Kidd
10. Gilbert Arenas (if he's not in jail)

I would rather have any of these pgs leading my team. (I would rather have rondo than Kidd now, but not when Kidd was younger.) I put the three rookies there because those are all top fucking notch players. I might even add Darren Collison in there, he was great at UCLA and really stepped up in Chris Paul's absense.
