Here's to hoping a couple of big concerns work themselves out as the team gels with Rondo:
1) defense is still a total siv - in fact, point guards have continued to kill them, despite the supposed prowess of Rondo as a perimeter defender. With the athleticism of Rondo, Harris and Ellis, there's no excuse to ole guards into the lane.
2) Rondo is taking a sheet ton of shots. Maybe that's Carlisle encouraging him to push his own scoring opps, but good god is he inefficient.
3) Rondo and Ellis don't appear to be a good combo. The Ellis/Dirk two man game is great - the Rondo/Dirk two man is developing. However, I don't see a ton of three man games, and would love to see Rondo, Parsons/Ellis, Dirk triangle games, with Chandler diving on the backside and guys like Harris/Parsons/Villanueva spotting up in the backside corner. As predicted, Rondo dominant es the ball and that will push Ellis into a larger jump shooting role, which is obviously not preferred.
On the positive side, the transition game will only get better and the team has guys that can finish, as well as good secondary transition shooters. I imagine team D will continue to gel as well.

quote:Ellis played amazingly the first game with Rondo, but after that he hasn't really had a good game (was decent against Lakers). His shooting numbers are really low.quote:

Disagree on rondo and Ellis. Has been a lot better than I thought it would be at this point and should be encouraging as they get used to each other.
