anyone else annoyed with rondo and his assist whoring?

[DaSeba5]

An assist means the team scored, so I don't see what's wrong with that. 15 assists means 30+ points.

Somebody can score 22 points and still pass up open shots. You've probably never played organized basketball and if you did you were no good, 5 points for 4 quaters is 20 points, it's not very hard to do.

He's defiantly an assist whore.

Bold bold statement

So 20 PPG or you're no good? Are you shitting me....

plenty of good NBA players don't average 20 points a game. It is a hard thing to do.

LMAO. This is crazy. If a guy was gunning to score like this, he'd be getting destroyed. This is just as bad IMO

He had 11 assists at this point, he was trying to reward bass for the steal.

[konex]

You don't do that down 6 in the 4th....

You do if you're playing the Magic.

Rondo already had well over 10 assists at that point so there was no "pursuing an individual record".

[Pushxx]

If you don't think a dunk after you get a steal isn't rewarding, then you don't know basketball.

Was it a dumb play? Hell yes. Was it assist whoring? Hell no.

[chips93]

Rondo already had well over 10 assists at that point so there was no "pursuing an individual record".

but the mentality of looking to pass at all costs, to get the record, leads to decisions like this one

[IGOTGAME]

is this a joke? pgs give layups up all the time. It is something good pgs do to get their teammates confidence up.

[dunksby]

Rondo knows he can't make a layup to save his life so he does the smart thing and lets others do what he can't which is making buckets.
