I don't care that the Bulls were without Derek Rose, beating the best team in the NBA is still impressive. After Rondo getting thrown under the bus for the past week it was good to see him shut up all of his critics with putting on a stellar triple double performance.
Rajon Rondo is my favorite player on the team, he does frustrate me with inconsistency and I don't understand how he doesn't have these numbers every game. Last night Rondo slashed, passed and rebounded like a machine and finished up with 32 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds. He was an absolute monster, and when he plays aggressive like that, Kobe, Rose or CP3 wouldn't be able to slow him down. Best thing about last night he shot (10-13 from the line)
Hopefully this is the tipping point for him, where he realizes this is now HIS team and he needs to be the focal point.
The underlying story is that when Rondo plays like this Pierce suffers a bit and last night was no exception. The Truth finished with 9 points, and shot 4-10. Maybe he just had a bad game and I'm reading too much into this.
KG had a good double double with 13 points and 12 boards and Jujuan Johnson continues to impress me with chipping in 12 points himself.
Good win
