Rondo needs to step up!

I wouldn't worry - it will go up to at least 60% by the end of the year. I'd bet on 65%. It's still sorry that PG would shoot like that. There are 12 year old kids who could shoot better from the line.

^this...even though 65% is good for Rondo, it's disgraceful for a PG...

Really, at this point it's the only thing (apart from his jumper) that I don't like about his game...

Yup. Pretty much took the words right out of my mouth or fingers... If he learns to shoot, he'll be an allstar PG because he's pretty good in everything else. But not being able to shoot for a perimeter player is a pretty significant flaw.

Absolutely, especially because unless he's able to penetrate and get to the hoop, the C's end up playing 4 on 5 on offense (or 3 1/2 on 5 if you really take Perk, much as I love him, into account). When teams go to a zone or clog the middle, Rondo is useless on offense (as far as scoring)...

Exactly! But if Doc wasn't such an idiot, he'd let Rondo take over and we'd in essence be playing 9 on 5.

Right...
