Rondo is killing the Celtics with his lack of a jump shot (or perhaps just lack of confidence in his jump shot). He's one of the fastest players in the league, maybe even the fastest. He'd be outstanding if he could hit jump shots consistently. That said, if he's the same player by February that he is now, the Celtics should trade him for a better, veteran point guard. Actually, given the two teams' time frames, I think a Rondo for Andre Miller swap would have made a lot of sense this year (a bunch of role players would have to have been added to make the salaries match, though).

first it was Ray's fault now its Rondo's...

Rondo is a distributor defender disruptor and 1 man break and is an unsung piece to this 60 plus win season

how about a KG beat the zone or double down the stretch [the way Timmy has year in and year out b4 Parker became reliable from outside]

I am just identifying weaknesses that they will have to address. That doesn't mean I'm saying it's 100% one guy's fault. It's a combination of many guys. It's also there first year together!!! Why do you always need to bring this back to a KG-Duncan comparison? It's like you always feel the need to prove that Duncan is better, even when the other person isn't even talking or thinking about Duncan.

its nothing serious

just a little b@ll bust!n about KG stemming from the bonn "whose the best big man polls" + i know how much u love his game

its a shame this team has lost believers as the games unfold. KG has been his usual efficient self but it seems outta the big 3 only Pierce understands what kind of aggressiveness is needed to get to the final round

They choose to run their offense through Pierce. You can't run your offense through three players. The team has lost believers?

i think Doc is choosing to run his o thru whomever is demonstrating the most aggressiveness b/n Paul and KG

and take the poll over on realgm 4 instance 58% out of 1100 plus voters chose Detroit to win this series. the espn poll 54.2% out of over 77000 think overall Detroit will win.

What does that have to do with losing believers? Losing implies there were more than there currently are. I bet it would have been around 50/50 before the series. I also would call myself a "believer" even if the Celtics lose the series. (I don't get the connection you're making.) I'm a believer that the Celtics are in a good position and can make changes to put them over the edge if necessary. I guess it depends on what you mean by believer--believe in what? I think the term implies something more long-term than any one series but maybe you meant something different.

when the season first started Boston was the consensus favorite to win the East. now be it the casual fan or the people paid to opinion the sport, they have lost a lot of believers.

KG Allen and Pierce's age and mileage dictate a short window to win it all.
