Even Acie Earl scored 40 points once...
Are you implying Rondo's 44/10/8 is overrated?
Its overrated because we lost the game. The number themselves aren't overrated but once the game was lost it became irrelevant. Just like if lebron took over game 6 but the heat still lost nobody would have cared.
How is it possibly irrelevant in talking about Rondo as a player? It's an individual accomplishment.
It's one of the best playoff performances I've ever seen. Unfortunately for us LeBron had maybe the best I've ever seen a few games later.
I put so much into winning *As does every NBA great*. To me stats mean very very little if you don't get the win. I can promise you rondo felt the same way. Think he cares about those numbers after the celtics lost?
Yes the numbers look great but again, his team lost the game. I personally stopped caring about those stats the very second that happend. Those great numbers weren't enough to get the W which at the end of the day, again, is all that matters. *To me and most players*
Mario Chalmers also had by far his best game in that series in that game.
Rondo spent quite a bit of time guarding Wade that series. The hot Heat guard in that series was generally whoever Ray was guarding.
Wade had probably his best game in that series in that game as well (although he had a few games that were all close so it is debatable).
