Speaking of the broadcasts, I find it sorta comical how desperately the national announcers were trying to make "Playoff Rondo" a thing during the game. Aside from the complete lack of historical context for Rondo's playoff performance in Dallas (Richard Jefferson almost said something but held back) or how he's been chased off of every team he's ever played for (8 and counting), I interpret it as a major sign of insecurity. It just comes across as Clippers sycophants trying to distract from the usual Playoff P memes.
If you have to hang your playoff hopes on Rondo, your team just isn't as good as you think.
