The scrutiny after the Miller/Hinrich fouls is in his head IMO. He's no longer playing loose and is too worried about what people think of him. He's also taking all the wrong shots. He's stopping short of taking the ball to the hoop, instead relying on the floaters that he's consistently shortarming. Other times, he's trying to force an extra pass when he should just take the shot. It was a hell of a weapon having him score 20+ the first five games of the Bulls series, and he has to get back to that. He hasn't played a good game since Game 5 of the first round. Anyone who thinks he was 'great' in the comeback is missing something. Yes, he was more aggressive, but he still committed too many turnovers and wasn't making decisions with conviction. Rondo's strength is his confidence, it'll make you pull your hair out sometimes, but it's worth it. His confidence is somewhere else since the Miller slap. Hopefully with him taking it to the hoop so much in the third quarter today, it's on its way back, but we can't afford any more 2-for-12, 7-turnover games this series.
