P's so desperate to criticize Rondo I'll just assume that he's bored.
Claiming that Tony Allen did something on the Rondo-scale because he had one game where he had 14 & 7 reeks of desperation (or boredom).

Anyone remember when they were bringing in Tony Allen to guard Chauncey because Rondo would be overwhelmed by bigger guards?Quote:

Well that is all fluff IMO. People always lick the balls of players on the championship caliber teams. I think he is better, but honestly I can't believe this became a 7 page thread, and that I contributed to it.
My point isn't to compare Allen to Rondo's "greatness" - it was to show that they plugged a pretty ordinary player into his spot and got a damn fine game.
But whatever - I like Rondo but he ain't the be all and end all.
The kid is big time.
Whatever, man.
I have stated and re-stated my position numerous fucking times and quite frankly I'm sick of the kid.
He's right there with Bynum on my "lucky I like the kid or I'd kill him cause of WTF" list
Sure, nothing quite as big time as a guy that's made a whopping THREE 3-pt. field goals all year and hitting under .600 from the free throw line. If you want a guy to miss a couple free throws at the end of a close game rondo is your man. Just ask celtics fans.Quote:

The guy has serious skills that are awesome.
He also has serious fucking flaws that would IMO be even more evident if he played on a "regular" team
