Man, Rondo really needs to work on his jumper. They are giving him a lot of room to shoot. Although, I think most teams play Rondo the wrong way. Where I come from, if you don't respect someone, you get up in their face. Instead they stand 10 feet away from him giving him vision over the whole court and allow him to drive to the basket with a full head of steam. I'll give him credit, though, I think he plays way above his talent level. | ||

I'll give him credit, though, I think he plays way above his talent level. they aren't standing 10 feet away from rondo, they are playing 10 feet closer to garnett. his worst area of shooting is 3-15 feet, so its smart to give him that area to shoot if he wants. also his wing size, intelligence and hand size are all vital to his passing ability. as you can see, he can shoot fine, he just isn't a top option so he doesn't. he plays cerebral ball, so he knows jacking threes isn't as smart ad a ray allen pick, garnett post, bass pick and pop, and pierce iso. not to mention the slew of other plays that boston can throw, not a rondo three. | ||

You pretty much said what I said but in reverse. Philly knows he can't/won't shoot so they play off of him. Rondo can't/won't shoot so he does other things. It's still a weakness in his game. What if he starts making that 3-15 foot shot? Then help can't hover near Garnett and it spreads the floor a lot more. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/TqfHh.jpg) He misses the 3-15 foot shots because they are often blocked, or just a floater, which he isnt skilled at, thats a completely different problem than not being able to shoot, he can shoot, he just cant finish in the paint like Westbrook, Wade or Rose :p. | ||

Heat in 5/6 for me. OKC-Spurs I'm really not sure. My head says the Spurs but OKC has been so good at pulling out games they shouldn't win this postseason. There are some really good matchups in that series with Parker/Westbrook, Duncan/Perk, Harden/Manu. Spurs could have trouble with Durant though given how well he's playing. It'll be interesting to see if they go with the rook Leonard vs Durant. | ||
