Lebron Wants To Guard Rondo? Uhhhh OK!

WALTHAM, Mass. -- The day after his 29-point, 18-rebound, 13-assist effort, Rajon Rondo remained the center of attention as the Boston Celtics practiced on Monday. But the focus had shifted slightly from his triple-double performance in what amounted to a must-win for the Celtics in Game 4 of an Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Cavaliers, to whether he can have as much of an impact in Game 5 if Cleveland employs superstar LeBron James to defend him.  Rondo simply shrugged off the news that James expressed a desire to guard him in Tuesday's game. "It really doesn't matter about the matchup," said Rondo. "Obviously, it's the playoffs and the big thing is matchups, but, to me, I don't really care who's guarding me. I gotta run the offense and in our system. If we get easy looks in transition, it doesn't matter who's guarding me."

Who does Lebron think he is? Did I miss the part of his career where he became this shutdown defender? He can guard Paul Pierce. A lot of people can guard Pierce. But Pierce isn't Rondo.  He just doesn't get tired like other players. This whole scenario spells out success for Boston because there isn't another player on the Cavs who can match the scoring the power of Boston if Lebron is winded. Mo Williams? Yeah, OK. He wouldn't be a starter on the Celtics. He wouldn't even be a starter in Milwaukee. He's a great bench player but the playoffs are when bench players play like bench players and the real stars play like stars. I might be wrong but I think Alexander Hamilton said that before his duel with Aaron Burr. I need a fact checker on the payroll for times like these. I believe it was the death of federalism as well but I digress. Let Lebron try to guard Rondo. He's obviously not gonna go off for 29, 18 and 13 again and it would be dumb to expect it but if he does half that and makes Lebron breath a little heavy then he's done his job.


P.S. Where has Mclovin been? He was all over Boston last year in the playoffs and now he's no where to be found. He must be shooting another movie where he plays the same dorky character
