[quote name='lordopus99']Yes Rondo has more people to pass to but let's not forget that the Bulls also have some capable shooters (Hinrich, Deng, Miller). Yes at times they can get streaky but so can Ray Allen and Paul Pierce. If you put anyone else at guard for Boston, you wouldn't get the same result. When Rondo came into the league, I personally thought he would be a bust since he stunk it up at Kentucky. But the one thing stats can't show is how much of a defensive presense he is. That is where I think he makes the difference compared to Rose.[/QUOTE]
If you put anybody else at gaurd for Boston you get a different result? Umm, well you'd get a better result with Nash, Kidd, Rose, Williams, or Paul...so I guess better is different...
And Rondo makes the difference for Boston? Listen I don't challenge that Rondo is a very good player. But he is not as good as Rose. Honestly, with Rose in Boston they would be better and with Rondo in Chicago they would be worse. And on a side note, I really don't normally get in debates about this guy vs this guy. But I truly believe Rose is and will be the better player (by far, actually), and because Rondo is an extrodinarily cocky player, i'm going to defend Rose over him.
I absolutley can't stand the cockyness and "we'z gon win" attitude of Rondo/LeBitch/KG/Shaq/Vince Carter/Jose Calderon/Brian Scalebrine. Some of those guy's aren't even stars, but what all of those guys have in common is they way they are cocky. I'm a Bulls fan and Michael Jordan was one of the most cocky guys in the league, but he did it with his play and winning the game was his celebration. The group I listed loves to endzone dance and seems to get just as much (if not more) veryexcite out of showing up the other team and rubbing it in (especially when facing an inferior opponent who may play a perfect game yet lose by 25). LeBitch dancing in front of the other team's bench and dunking with 1 hand behind an ear, Scalabrine saying "I want to keep winning championships" as if he had anything to do with the one he has, Shaq calling himself "MDE: Most Dominant Ever", KG puckering his lips and pounding his chest in the face of opponents, Vince Carter playing his hardest against teams that have specific players he doesn't like (Kings wont beat the Magic until Nocinoni isn't on the Kings or Carter isn't on the Magic)....im rambling but I just hate that stuff with the white hot passion of a thousand suns.
