Enough is Enough

I had to laugh when I saw SportsCenter's teaser last night that read, "Rondo's Big Night".  Usually, this type of headline is reserved for, say, a 40 pt explosion, maybe a 12 point in 2 minute outburst, or how about a buzzer beater to win the game...Nope.  In this case it was a monster game of 11 pts, 11 assts, and 10 rebs.  Wow!!!!!!!!!  Amazing!!!!!!  Puuhhh-leeeaaaassseee.   Further, I noticed that ESPN also had a side by side column comparing Rose to Rondo...as if this is still a debate, especially with Rose coming off a beat-down of Derron Williams and Chris Paul.  (There was an adjacent poll which Rose dominated with 77%)  Rondo supporters point to his assisst totals and how he "runs his team".  This phrase is just an excuse for the fact that he doesn't need to do much other than find one of his three hall of fame teammates.  The bottom line is Rose can do everything Rondo does, but Rondo does maybe a tenth of what Rose does on a nightly basis.  If Rose only needed to score 8 pts a game and find his open teammates I think he'd be able to assume that role in his sleep.  Oh yeah, Rose also isn't the biggest wimp in the league.  Next time you see Rondo take on a screen without falling to the ground in agony, let me know.
