A Stats Thread: What the Numbers Say About Rondo and Gay

[sdballer]

Has anyone ever stopped to think that maybe Rondo didn't play defense because George Karl never held his players accountable on that end of the court?

Rondo used to be one of the most tenacious defenders in the NBA.

Now that Rondo is back to full health, there is nothing that says he can't be an effective defender when properly motivated by the coach and his system.

He didn't play defense at the end in Boston or in Dallas either.

He was injured at the end in Boston and was still recovering from his injury when he was traded to Dallas.

He's still about 4 years removed from playing any sort of defense, even by his own admission. http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on...-i-havent-played-defense-in-a-couple-of-years

Due to woeful coaching, everybody from the last year roster has a blank check for this season, but this season only.

I will put Divac-Joerger above any player.
If any player (including Cuz) cannot fit in the system this season, it is time for them to go.
