I mean that's all I can go off of,I can't say Rondo trash because he having a down year and he's showed other wise the past 8 years,dude been balling so I'm hoping its a bad year and nothing else
Bad year, my ass. The dude was playing with a great coach, an all time great defender, a GOAT shooter, and one of the best SFs of the decade. He was the 4th fukking option for most of the season and, for all of his assists, the offense got WORSE the more he was involved.
Every year that Rondo got more control of the offense, it got WORSE. It was exactly average his first year as an all-star and plummeted to 27 his 3rd year.
Simply put, Rondo isn't as good as most people thought. He has a few good games in the playoffs but look at his overall playoff stats. They're not near the likes of CP3.
The game has evolved. PGs can't get away with being bad shooters because defenses are becoming more complicated and analytics is showing more about players than we thought.
It's no surprise that the best teams in the NBA have huge offensive threats as their primary playmakers. Curry, Kyrie (Or Lebron),Westbrook, etc.
If the guy who controls the offense isn't a scoring threat, it makes it much easier to stifle passes and play to deny rather than play to contain.
