Home Rondo is aggressive and gets into the middle of defense to wreak havoc and destroy rotations. Road Rondo seems nervous and tentative.
Home Rondo knocks down baseline jumpers when he's open. Road Rondo passes up layups to pass out to the three point line.
Home Rondo is the guy that makes Reebok dream up a viral video campaign. Road Rondo couldn't even make the YouTube clip himself.
Home Rondo is back tonight. And I'm willing to put this kid out there on this stage… and unleash him in front of all his home fans. This crazy fast kid has all the tools needed to break Kobe Bryant down (He was HORRIBLE playing Paul Pierce face-up in game 5. I wonder why no one really talked about that?) and get to the basket.
Maybe the 16 assist game ruined him and he's now passing up even easy shots to try to pick up dimes. Maybe that ankle of his is in his head. Who knows? All I know is that I've liked what Home Rondo has shown me all playoffs long. We need him… and I think that he delivers tonight.
