Is the Miami Heat now out of contention for the NBA Title because of this breaking news? (Celtics, Lakers)

1. Tony Parker
2. Steve Nash

Tony is a good player, but has never been one to carry his team. I think Ginobli is a better player on that team then him, not to metion Duncan.

Nash is very good also and I love his game, but RIGHT NOW, TODAY, neither one of those two guys is on Rondo's level.

I'll also add that both of them have been shooting horribly from the line. If either one of them had shot more than 60 percent from the line last night (which should not be that difficult for a superstar at the Guard/Small Forward position), then the Heat would have won the game. Ordinarily, you see a superstar's FT percentage go UP during the playoffs, not down.

Rondo has a lot of weaknesses and will not be in the Finals no time soon until he improves the things below

1. Outside Jumpshot
2. His Attitude...kind of ghetto
3. Missing less layups
4. Becomes a better PG when his team has the lead



Sometimes he is confused and has no idea what to do and the shot clock is running down and it results in a bad shot. He needs to fix that

Rondo has more rings than Nash.....

Well damm, that just goes to show if he was consistent like Nash he would probably have 2 rings

Never knew it was an individual sport boss man, I thought the WHOLE TEAM had to play well. You may want to let the NBA know they should set up 1 on 1 tournaments.

Did you not know the PG is the same as the QB of a NFL team? Both run the offense and lead the team and if you have a 'Stupid leader" as a PG then you won't succeed that often.


The Celtics can be up 12 pts with 2:45 left and Rondo would be trying speed up the game instead of slowing it down which is what you do when your team has the lead. As a PG you have to know that

Nash obviously played in a conference with the Lakers and Spurs over the years which is a lot tougher than the East
