    This game (vs Denver game 1) Rondo passed Michael Jordan for tenth all time in assists in the playoffs.

    Those lobs to the bigs, his connection with AD, and the HORSE shot... playoff Rondo continues to thrive.

    Only bummer is we missed the chance to see the Rondo Brothers abuse Lou and Pat. Oh well. Maybe next year, if the Clippers are lucky.

    So bad, so so bad, back to the careless turnovers too. But, it was one game, I’m not going to jump all over him, just hope he turns it around next game, we need him to be decent to win the whole thing.

    He had his moments. The trey...assists to Caruso for the triple and lobs to James, Howard. Just not as much. Rondo will adjust like the rest of the squad.

    99 times out of 100, you listen to LeBron James to win games of basketball. But if you are Rondo and have just as much basketball IQ, or more, you pick a different option.

    Probably his second worst game since he's been back. Still hit a big 3 to stop the run in the 3rd. Tied Joker for a game high 9 dimes. Oh yeah, and QB'ed AD's game winner.

    He asked Vogel if he wanted him in for that. Most of his teammates would've dumped it off to Bron.

    Had his struggles at times but also had some huge moments. Yeah, I’ll take it!

    Very few positive take aways from game 3, but that defensive pressure Rondo was putting on Murray, the ball during our 4th Q run, and turnovers he created warrant some props. That was damn impressive.

    Playoff Rondo returns, we NEED this guy to play well to win. Denver is too good, we need his clutch contributions and controlled play, and he brought it tonight.

    I mean, imagine early in this season someone telling you Rondo would be our best closer and 3rd best player. He makes timely plays that seems to give the Lakers enough breathing room to get through. People talk about this being Bron's 17th season but this is Rondo's 14th season and he's been spectacular. Lakers need to consider putting the ball into Rondo's hand in the fourth more often against the Nuggets. He's been a better passer than Bron this series.

    Playoff Rondo doing work with 11-7-5. Big couple minute stretch in the 3rd for him.

    Needs to talk to his brother about that hair though.
