What else is there to say about Rondo at this point? He's proven time and time again that he gets up for big games. Last night was no different. He turned in yet another ridiculous triple double, along with six steals.
After the game he joked that he might only be at 79 percent health. He's probably just trying to strike some fear into the hearts of opposing point guards. Watching Rondo make play after play after play makes you wonder how we ever survive without him on the court. You can see as soon as he heads to the bench things become much more stagnant. More dribbling and standing around. Rondo is an orchestrator. He has that ability that all the great passers like Bird and Cousy had, to see the play develop before it happens. He creates situations with his dribbling ability for us to score. Special talent.
It felt like Sugar Ray didn't miss last night. He was coming off screens and going right into that jumper. It looked as smooth as ever. That being said I do expect him to make every shot he takes. It seems like something in the universe is off whenever he misses. Which is why I felt dizzy after those two missed free throws...
I loved the attitude of the whole squad last night. You could SEE they wanted this one. They wanted to prove that they're the team to beat in the league, even without KG out there.
I've said it before but we are going to be positively terrifying when we get everyone back. Perk is saying he could get a few games in before the All Star break. Delonte. KG. Yikes..........
