What do you expect. Rondo is a problem when he doesn't give effort on D. He doesn't bring it every night. That's who he is, stop expecting him to be better than that.

He didn't even mention Rondo

Rebounding, rebounding, rebounding.

Rondo's passing is so annoying at times.. I can't stand him some nights, when we need him and he doesn't score, instead he turns it over all the time. We will lose by 20 a game that we were about to win, that's just super bad.

Hit him on the wrist well after the shot.

Rondo is the point on D too. Dribble penetration starts with the guards. We get carved up off the dribble. He's as inconsistent on D as he is shooting. He could be a great defender.

Rondo the point on D? Its Kevin Garnett

If I was Danny I would just waive the whole bench except the rookies and Bradley. Just give them all the boot, they are all great guys but they bring nothing to the table basketball wise. Cut them all, sign Rasual Butler, Renaldo Balkman and Sean Williams and see what they can give you..

Yeah, Garnett is responsible for dropping dribble penetration of the point guard.

Rebound and turnovers, or lack their of. If we took care of the ball like Philly we would be devastating. Still got a chance, still have hope.

Well, I'll say this: Philly plays the right way and they're well-balanced. As disappointing as tonight has been (and thoughts are still with MP..), better than trailing the **** Knicks in the Atlantic.

I don't think you understand what a Defensive "point" does....like Rondo does on the offensive end the defensive point leads the others, calls out schemes, and trying to control the movements of the other 4 players
I'm not blaming Garnett, his ass has been covering the weak D of this team all year, but don't make stuff up about Rondos apparent roles

Shooting 50% and getting destroyed. Not going to beat good teams when you do not rebound the ball.
