Rajon Rondo is single handily addressing the Celtics' biggest criticism of being to old to get past the Cavaliers, or much less another NBA championship.
If Rondo continues to play like he is then the Celtics will cruise to the NBA Finals. He's the x-factor in this series and he's the one making the rest of the Boston Celtic players play better.
He set a franchise record in last night's Game 2 win by dishing out an amazing 19 assists in 45 minutes of action.
Give this guy a raise because he is putting in everything he's got to carry this team to the promise land. Five players scored in double figures last night and that is a great statistic for a team in the playoffs.
Rondo has made such an improvement from two years ago when the Celtics were carried by the "Big Three" of Pierce, Garnett, and Allen.
Don't discount the ability of the "Big Three" because they're still capable of playing like they did two years ago.
In all reality this is the most dangerous team in the playoffs if Rondo stays on top of his game and continue to run the point to perfection like he has the entire playoffs.
This has become a league full of great point guards and Rondo is making his case of being one of the best.
