As a Mavs fan myself, watching Rondo last night, looked like Rick gave Rondo a lot more decision / play making on the floor last night and he looked so much better for it. Will be interesting to see how they can take that forward into the playoffs (hopefully as the west is stacked)
Still no where near what he was, I hope he gets his mental toughness back, he seems too easily frustrated and goes silent which is understandable after big injuries but its nice to see his steals going back up but hes still playing way to conservative imo. He's a triple double machine and hes not managed on since december and hasnt even come close to one while at the Mavs.
The one thing on his side right now though is that stats dont really tell the whole story, hes unlikely to pull out the 10 + assists a game at the Mavs as they space the floor and cut very different to the Celtics so his assists will look lower than they really are but if he can keep his steals up then his value will go way up.
