Rondo needs to become a better mid-range shooter as well as hit his free throws. If he does that, he'll be the best PG in the NBA.

fully agree, i merely brought Parker up as a recent example of a good PG that lacked a jump shot and changed his shooting form to get to a respectable level (at times even better than respectabel, if he gets to his sweet spots).
Best PG in the NBA ? I donīt know about that one and thatīs not a knock on him with guys like Paul and Williams who are really, really good. Just that they lost in the first round doesnīt change how good they are.
@ Radii : The thing is that it worked pretty good so far, Salmons did a great job on defense. But i agree that they should have come up with some defensive scheme, some 1-3-1 traping zone or pick another poison and double agressively.
The Celtics made that sort of adjustment with Rose late in Game 1 and have forced him out of his comfort zone the next games.
