    Unbelievable playoffs from Rondo and great game again.

    I can't believe I'm even saying all of this.

    I think it's time for all of us to eat crow on this but i"m happy to do so.

    He's also a pest on D again - he's reminding me of the Rondo of 2009/2010. Unreal man....just unreal

    Playoff Rondo is a f***ing thing.

    man, that last one--teams have been overplaying him on that for two years and i've been wondering why doesn't do that (especially considering it's his signature move). and there it is. playoff rondo. just need you for 5 more Ws and your debt is paid.

    People forget Rondo's has some huge hands so he's able to do some pretty spectacular things out there. I felt more comfortable watching Rondo run the point than LeBron late in the fourth. I don't think LeBron is fatigued as much as he's dealing with something physically. He has no lift on his legs in his jumpers and they end up going flat.

    Another day another dollar. Playoff Rondo with some sure footed threes and some on point passes. Also solid running of the point. Love him on this team. Still remember protesting when people were wanting Quinn Cook to run the point because "at least he could shoot and contribute" Never dreamed he could be this consistent. It's like he is hosting his own "Playoff Rondo is real convince me i'm wrong" clinic. Certainly helping me to enjoy this amazing season we have a chance to win without an ounce of homecourt advantage.

    I am going to put my best Stephen A impression on here. Get this brother in the Hall of Fame. He is special, I mean, SPECIAL. I am absolutely positively sure Rajon Rondo should and will be in the Hall of Fame. It is blasphemous if he is not in there.

    Hell no Rondo in the hall of fame.

    But props to him for a great playoff run in 2020. Gotta give credit where its due. Keep it going

    Simple solution. We put playoff Rondo in the NBA Hall of Fame first ballot and we keep Regular Season Rondo on the outer.

    I don’t think he’s a HOFer either, but his prime was pretty crazy for a guy can’t shoot, and I still don’t like thinking about him tearing us apart with 16 assists in game 2 of the ‘08 Finals as only a sophomore player.

    When you have to ask if someone is a Hall of Famer, he ain't. It's that simple.

    One guy on a big, general NBA forum said how this Lakers team “reeks of championship-type players”. That photo above demonstrates this clearly. Rondo just waited for this moment. Just like Bron, he can smell the champioship and is 100% locked in. WC “championship” and confetti? Come on.
