    Rondo might be the most important player on that team right now. He's the real floor general.

    I still believe if Rondo didn't get hurt, they could of upset the C's last playoff series when he was in Chicago.

    I’m not really a big Rondo fan, but for the second round - against the Warriors - he is my designated favorite non-Rockets player.

    Ray Allen doesn't like him, so I don't like him. That's my boy for life. :)

    Yep, and to be honest he was the most important player for the Bulls too last season, once he got injured against the Celtics the Bulls drowned.

    Neither am I a fan of Rondo. But he brings the attitude the Pels need to stand up against the Warriors.

    Those Rondo/KG teams were nasty on defense. Best communication ever.

    Without a doubt.

    Rondo gives the Pels the edge they need to compete defensively - cuz they aren’t gonna outshoot GSW.

    Most fans and students don't understand defensive impact properly. A great defensive player is as valuable to winning basketball games as Steph Curry is with his great shooting/offense. They just don't know how to statistically quantify defensive play into a box score.

    A player must be really really good in at least one of these three skills to be a significant contributor to a playoff team:

    1. Shooting
    2. Playmaking
    3. Defending

    If a player is really good at two of these skills he'll typically rise to star/superstar status.

    Curry, for example, is great at #1, very good at #2, and mediocre at #3.

    Same for Harden.

    Durant is great at #1, good at #2, and more very good at #3.

    For most of his career Lebron was ok at shooting, but a great distributor, and a great defender. Now he's a great shooter as well while he does curve energy defensively but he still can play great defense when he needs to.

    Rondo and Rubio are both the types of stars/superstars that are underappreciated by common fans because they don't post gaudy scoring numbers. But they are great playmakers and defenders. Make no mistake about it. If you get good spot-up shooters and finishers around then they'll light up a team and lead that team to lots of success. Because they give their team defensively what Curry and Harden give their teams in the scoring column.

    Me too.

    CP3 is a good shooter, great playmaker, and great defender. A sure fire hall-of-famer.
