ESPN claims that Rondo is one of the top three PG's in the east.

I don't know about you guys, but I'd take Duhon over Rondo...

I'd say only Calderon, Rose, and Devin Harris are better than Duhon right now in the east...

agreed... Rondo's put up some big games but he's got the luxury of playing w/3 Allstars, something Duhon does not, & he's still putting up inferior #'s assist wise.

Right now Duhon needs to get a little stronger finishing at the rack or at least learn to do a better job of drawing fouls. He gets better every week, and he if he can do that when he gets in deep he will get plenty of cheap points.

You forget that Duhon had 7 turnovers last game. One game he can look great and the next he can look like Howard Eisley. He is getting better with consistency but that was always the thing that haunted him in Chicago.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Duhon for sure, Rondo is overrated, overhyped, and possibly a total jerk by now because he has been hanging with KG the King of Jerks.

They have a serious Boston bias!

Espn are a bunch of dick riders. Its their job though.

The argument that Rondo plays with 3 all-stars/hall of famers is a valid arguement.

What about the fact that Duhon is playing in an uptempo offense? The Knicks are scoring tons of points.....Duhon is a safe player. Never said he sucked, but he's about as good as the players around him/ offense.

I think Boston and the Knicks would do better if they could swap point guards. Boston needs a point guard that is not trying to do anything but run the offense. The Knicks on the other hand need a guy like Rondo to make stuff happen. I think rondo's numbers would be better than duhons is if he was D'antoni's point guard.

Rondo isn't afraid to make a mistake.....Duhon plays like he is. That's it in a nutshell.

Rondo's a 9 & 5 PG w/a 25% shooting percentage from 3 pt range over his career... he's a celebrated role player on an awesome team... he's no scrub that's for sure but let's not overrate him here.

so will be his career, because with his form and having never been able to make jumpers, even since college, by time he develops one, he will be damn near retirement...

Thats like saying if duhon could finish stronger he would be an all star..to ify either way.
But I also want my pg to be able to come down and be able to knocked down a 3 at any given moment.

Duhon is shooting 40% from the field and is averaging just under 3 turnovers a game (and Crawford sucks?). Rondo is shooting 53% from the field and just over 2 turnovers per game. Rondo's job is to facilitate the offense and play defense. Duhon's role on the Knicks is to do the same but to do alot more offensively. If Rondo was on the Knicks, this would not be a discussion. I remember when everybody thought Duhon was garbage. Now he is top 5 PG in the league. Delusional? I believe so. Oh and as for Rondo shooting it is a lot better this year.

payton developed a respectable outside shot and so has tony parker.

10/28 14 pts / 6 ast / 5 reb / 3 stls
10/31 14 pts / 6 ast / 3 reb / 1 stl
11/1 2 pts / 4 ast / 6 reb / 1 stl
11/4 10 pts / 7 ast / 7 reb / 0 stl
11/5 4 pts / 11 ast / 2 reb / 2 stls
11/7 8 pts / 8 ast / 2 reb / 3 stls
11/9 13 pts / 5 ast / 1 reb / 2 stls
11/10 4 pts / 3 ast / 5 reb / 1 stl
11/12 5 pts / 10 ast / 4 reb / 1 stl
11/14 2 pts / 7 ast / 0 reb / 7 stls
11/15 2 pts / 6 ast / 5 reb / 2 stls
11/18 15 pts / 7 ast / 8 reb / 2 stls
11/20 18 pts / 8 ast / 1 reb / 3 stls
11/21 13 pts / 5 ast / 7 reb / 3 stls
11/23 15 pts / 4 ast / 2 reb / 2 stls
11/26 22 pts / 7 ast / 8 reb / 2 stls
11/28 6 pts / 12 ast / 6 reb / 3 stls
11/29 4 pts / 9 ast / 4 reb / 2 stls
12/1 16 pts / 12 ast / 4 reb / 1 stl
12/3 16 pts / 17 ast / 13 reb / 3 stls
12/5 16 pts / 7 ast / 8 reb / 2 stls

overall not mind numblingly awesome numbers w/the exception of 6 of his past 10 games where he's really picked up his level of play... u can easily make a case for Duhon being a better PG based on this season's numbers.
