Rondo dishes 24 dimes

MACDUB, I think Rondo makes a lot of his passes LOOK easy because he is so good at setting up the play. He uses great fakes to freeze players, has great eye contact with smart offensive players like KG, Allen and Davis and uses his speed and ball handling to maneuver the defence where he wants them. That is why he is able to consistently make so many 'easy' passes, where most NBA players would simply get their pass picked off if they tried the same thing.

I think Tommy Heinsohn said he got close to the Celtics record, held by Bob Cousy with 26 in one game. Apparently the Celtics put up 173 on the Knicks in that game!

Definently the statisticans have become more generous with their interpretation of an assist. Nowadays, it seems like the receiving player can take a dribble or two and the player will still be awarded an assist.

Theres no denying Rondo is an amazing passer, but alot of his assists come off Ray coming off screens and running the pick and pop with KG. A majority of them are just pretty basic passes. That been said he does throw 3 or so assists a game that make you say "How? "
