Rondo is beasting. I find it interesting how the Celtics and Spurs, teams that hang their hats on defense, often seem to be able to outgun high octane offenses. They seem to be able to adjust or take advantage of poor defense much better than a strong defensive team like the Rockets.
Suns are just a horrible defensive team, I'm going to guess 7 of the 8 shots that rondo has made are layups...
I side with JVG the Suns are too busy complaining about every call. Nash allowed 2 shots up from the Celtics before getting back on defense that kind of play is inexcusable. They are trying to prove the refs wrong on every single play, so that they can argue some more. Add the offense but they have 0 defense.
Did Big Baby always have a mid-range shot? Or does he not have one and I'm just imagining things? Every time I see him play, it seems like he hits one or two of those 15-footers.
I think he use to make 3's in college. Always thought he was more of perimeter player than low post but I have only seen him a few times.
man celtics are getting every single call! refs cut celtics the most slack,especially pierce. i hate that
I know a lot of people say that and it seems like it at times but I think a lot of it has to do with how the Celtics play. They are aggressive at both ends and get called for a lot of fouls as well (4th most in the league). Pierce has always been one of the best in the league at drawing fouls and getting to the line.
I agree, they play very aggressive style, like the Pistons did in their championship seasons (04,05). That's why I understand they get certain calls on certain plays. Now, the Lakers and Jazz are another story. You want to talk about some teams getting phantom calls in their favor. Look at those two.
yip, these two teams get quite a bit of phantom calls against them. Both PJax and Sloan are not well liked by the ref. their teams rarely get any border calls.
Steve Nash gets a pass for his lack of defense....why? Tony Parker and Jason Terry Eyes lit up when they played in the playoffs years ago. Steve Nash winning not one but TWO mvp's is a travesty to true superstars ! Rondo acts like he doesn't even see Steve Nash.
phoenix is f'd, they shoulda never sold all those first rounders. Rajon Rondo Luol Deng Rudy Fernandez all would be nice to have right now because the second unit is absolutely atrocious and has no firepower. Matt Barnes is ok but if thats your firepower you're in trouble. Are you kidding me with Goran Dragic and Louis Amundson c'mon!
Jon Barry having Steve Nash in his top 5 once again is a joke. Was that the mandatory white guy pick? He could of chose devin harris or baron davis ? Yes I would take Baron Davis over Nash. Derrick Rose next year will be in the Top 5.
The Suns still can't defend. They are probabaly not going to make the playoffs this year. Expect them to blow it up this summer.
