But to even bring Rondo up when he hasn't even played a serious game w/o the Big 3 is straight obsessive. I mean he should be irrelevant right? I don't see them making threads on Jrue Holiday like this. He was in competition with Rose at one time.

I was going to make that point also. Rondo is a threat to Rose and he fears it

nikkas haven't realized this yet? I love Rondo, I'll take him over that gutless fakkit Deron Williams any day of the week, but son is really nothing but a system point guard. It's not even about the big 3.. If you aren't letting Rondo pound the ball on your team, he's basically useless. Of course the big 3 amplified Rondo's effectiveness In that style, but Rondo would get his on any team where he pounds the ball and makes one pass on offense. If you think Chris Paul dribble too much, you really haven't watched a Celtics game post-2009.

Not sure if the term pure passer even applies in basketball but Rondo is probably the purest PG if (and only IF) he has a great team around him. But alone, dude is not even all-star worthy. His scoring ability is too limited for him to lead a team of average players let alone carry them.

Chris Paul and Deron have always been better. Rondo just benefits from being a Celtic AND being around great players. I always thought that "big 4" talk was bullsh!t

Pierce fans are some of the biggest Rondo haters.

:mjlol: Dude said he was a system player. He never looked good once he left Sloan's system.

24 games with 10+ assists straight, only Magic did more :whew:

Man Mario Chalmers should have done that playing with a much more prime Big Three than Rondo

And he actually got better when Allen left
how could mario chalmers have done that? LEBRON had to get his assists too. If you wanna be real mario was a co point guard with lebron :camby:

The ultimate Catch 22:

-If rondo didnt get his: he sucks and doesn't do shyt
-if he does good: its only because of who is around him
