I know Billups is having a monster playoffs and all but Rondo is MVP of these playoffs. Am I a homer or ?

He has been playing the best basketball out of all the PG's..yes..nothing homer about that...but he isn't the best PG since CP3 is still here..can't never sleep on Chris Preezy...he makes **** look too easy... :lol:

In the playoffs, yes. With Billups close behind him...

He is averaging a triple double! That is insane!

CP3 after Varejao is the 2nd worst flopper in the game. Thats why I cannot respect a player like that. If Rondo develops a consistant jumpshot I cannot see CP3 being that much better. Anything CP3 can do, Rondo can do it too.

What do you guys think Rondo should do this off-season. Besides improving his shots I think he can also add another 10lbs to his frame... maybe even 15...but maybe this weight gain could affect his performance ?

Rondo is A.I 2.0 in my honest opinion.

Everybody is talking about how Rondo needs a jumpshot. That's not 100% correct. He needs to be a 80% FT shooter. Otherwise he will be hidden in crunchtime further on, like Sunday afternoon.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a Rondo fan since Danny traded for him, but his lack of execution at the line is the most important issue right now. If he manages to get that behind him, I like Rondo more than any other point guard in this league (for the Celtics).

Others may be more talented or better individually, but Rondo is all over the place. I don't know a player who is inch-per-inch effecting the play on the whole court more than he is, without monopolizing the ball like others may have to.

In my opinion Rondo will steadily improve his shot but for him to get to superstar status all he has to do is develop a crossover dribble. He already has very little problem beating his man, but with a crossover he will become unstoppable. Examples Chris Paul, heck even tony Allen a few years ago developed a pretty nice crossover. He needs to work on that qalong with his J.

I think a tie with Billups is about right. I'd give rondo all the credit, but it looks like the nugz might actually make the second round. Billups has totally changed that team. Regardless, Rondo is averaging a triple dizzle in a series that he's driving.

Rondo has been the best PG in the playoffs hands down, Billups a close second. That dude has been everywhere and i honestly my Bulls would have been up in this series without his crazy play. I'm just hoping he comes down to earth just a lil bit

I think he's been the best too, he's been Rondiculous. (I know, I know, but I'm going to use the nickname anyways ;) ) The stats back it up, everyone who has watched the games backs it up, and it has been a joy to watch. I think regardless of the outcome of this series this has been Rondiculous' coming out party for fans outside of the Celtic nation, and probably for some within as well.
