Boston fans aren’t showing Bibby any love

I don't think that Rajon Rondo is better than Mike Bibby at all but apparently the Boston Celtics fans do or at least they were chanting it to get inside Mike Bibby's head. Did it work? Well they beat the Hawks by 19 so it probably didn't hurt.

Dude, have you watched the series? Have you seen how bad Rondo has been shutting down Bibby? Rajon is not letting him get anywhere that he wants to with the ball and is singlehandedly forcing the Hawks out of their offensive sets. Meanwhile, on the offensive end, Rondos knocking down jumpers, creating for his teammates and being aggressive. People like you still don’t realize how talented this guy is. He would be a senior in college right now if he hadn’t of left early and now he is quietly moving up the ranks of NBA point guards. All you have to do is watch these two games to see that Rondo is better than Bibby. Why shouldn’t he be? He’s a first round pick in his sophomore season, who would’ve been taken in the top ten if he could’ve shot at all. Now he can shoot and he continues to prove his doubters wrong.

Rondo got his ass handed to him towards the end of the series and thats why Cassell is getting most of the minutes for the C’s at PG right now… which is a smart move

No he didn’t, he had one bad game (Game6). Rondo is a better PG than Cassel, but he’s getting his confidence broken down by Doc right now. Doc trusts Cassell much more than Rondo, but when Cassell is in the game, the offense goes stagnant. If he’s not shooting well, then the Celtics bench will look awful. After building up his confidence all year, Rondo is losing it because Doc is being an idiot. If you watched the Celtics the whole year, particularly the second half of the season, you’d know that Rondo needs to be in the game more than 25 minutes. This game 4 is critical for Rondo. He’s either going to prove his doubters (like you) wrong again, or he’s going to finally fall under their chorus of “No he can’t”s

Naw. I didn’t get the chance to watch the Celtics play the whole year. I live in Houston, TX.

Rondo is playing alright but I still think the C’s would be better off running with Cassell/House running the point.
Jdub on May 29th, 2008

Wow, houroc. Wow. I guess you didn’t watch the Celtics all year. But even if you’re watching them now, when Rondo isn’t playing his best, he’s still much better option than House and Cassell. The ONLY things that those guys do better than Rondo is shoot. And a point guard needs to do much more than that. Rondo is a very good passer who is almost always going to be the fastest guy on the court. And he does not turn the ball over a lot. He got Ray Allen going last night by finding him in transition.

Naw I definitely didn’t watch him the whole year. Just when they played on TNT or ABC.

Rondo seems to me like too flashy for his own good. He is stable sometimes but sometimes he tries to do flashy moves instead of just playing ball.
Jdub on May 29th, 2008

Yeah he definitely gets a little too flashy, but in terms of running the Celtics offense, there’s nobody better than Rondo, because his penetration and passing ability open things up for the Big Three. He does need to settle down sometimes though.

Hey if you want to do a guest post about Rondo or the championship or anything like that let me know. I like opinionated writing, even if you disagree with me.
