Rajon Rondo: Most Destructive Celtics' Guard Since DJ?

I see where one blogger described last night's game as Rondo's first good one of the year.
Not so sure about that, since he actually played very well against the Knicks.

Regardless, I will say this.

When Rondo is on top of his game, you can see the wheels spinning.

What will I do next to wreak havoc on this court?

He may not be one of the top three or four point guards in the NBA. But he certainly has the capacity to be one of the most demoralizing and destructive guards.

DJ, as Bob Ryan noted, was destructive.

I don't think DJ was particularly demoralizing.

Rondo, by contrast, leaves a trail of slumped shoulders and bowed heads in his wake.
