    Playoff Rondo is the best Rondo. Plus, you've got to think playing Boston is as motivated as he'll ever get.

    Re: Griffin. His best skill is his passing for a 4. He may be better than Draymond.

    He is actually a LOT like Mason Plumlee. Good passer, solid rebounder, good-to-great athlete, bad post moves, T-Rex arms. Difference is his jump shot has really improved (or at least so it seems when the Clips play us).

    They'd be forced to play him, and thus worse defensively. Plus Giannis wouldn't've had to become so awesome.

    It's not like his jump shot could've got any worse.
    His defense is horrible. It would look worse without DJ next to him.

    Wait, are you claiming the Bucks would be a worse team with a healthy Parker?

    Um, maaaybe...

    They'd certainly be worse defensively. I think the Bucks would love to offload Parker at this point and give all his minutes to Maker.

    If there were any realistic way to add Middleton to Dame/CJ/Nurk I'd sure like to see it. :)

    One flip-off (picture) is apparently worth a 1000 words (rant) :)

    Playoff Rondo and I think the Bulls are just healthy finally. They're a much better team than 41-41 when healthy. And something tells me that's why the Cavs were fine slipping to number 2 and taking their chances against McMillan ball.

    With his knee issues, I wonder what Jabari's trade value is. He is a guy I'd gamble on if the price were fair.

    I love Boston Playoff Rondo and Chicago Playoff Rondo but Dallas Playoff Rondo was a joke.
