Right now, Orlando is under the shadow of Detroit. Until that cloud lifts, there can be no Boston Rivalry.

Perkins/Howard pales in comparison to the Foyle/Garnett one.

Perkins/Howard shouldn't be in the conversation. Howards a superstar, Perkins is a default starting center. That's not a shot at him, he's a solid hand, but there is no comparing those guys.
Hey, I noticed nobody threw a Nelson/Rondo rivalry out there. I know, it doesn't have to be said.....Nelson would kick his ass LOL

rondo is terrible. with KG, allen & PP on the team, rondo should be averaging a lot more assists. His assists #'s are only up ~1APG from last season. his FT% is horrendous, but his FG% has risen significantly... probably because the big 3 are getting more attention

i'd swap Nelson and Arroyo for Rondo in a heartbeat...the kid plays hustle D the whole time he's in, he's quick, gets inside when needed and gives the ball up more than he takes it...he, like so many other guards in the league make us look like fools...

I believe Rondo's wingspan is somewhere around 7'0'' which makes it easier for him to attack the passing angles.Nevertheless I think he can become a liability if he does not improve his jumper because teams will leave him open more in the playoffs.He can drive to the hoop but cannot do it freqeuntly and most of his touches come in spot-up shooitng situations where he usually hesitates and puts his team into a bad situation.

Rondo would win easy in a 21 vs arroyo and nelson together ....

Anyone else think Rondo uses that damn half pass fake in the paint too often? he tired it on Dwight like 6 times and it never once worked. I loved the one where he did it Dwight jumped so Rondo went up and Dwight jumped again and sent the ball into his face.

I agree, you could throw me out there at PG and i'd get 5 and 5
