Rajon Rondo put together a masterful game against the Chicago Bulls on Friday night – 30 points, 7 assist, 2 boards and 2 steals in 42 minutes of action.  He dictated tempo.  He was everywhere on defense.  He played hard and he played to win.  He shout a high percentage from distance, taking what the defense dared to give him and repeatedly knocking down open jumpers.

Yes, tonight Rondo played like a guy who belongs in the starting lineup when the All-Star Game is held next month.

Kudos to Rondo.  He’s not the biggest point guard in the league, nor is he the strongest.  He has a suspect outside shot, the display against the Bulls notwithstanding.  He gets into trouble at an alarming rate for a point guard.  And he gets knocked down.  A lot.

But Rondo is clearly the best point guard in the Eastern Conference, and he deserves to start.

Just glad to see him get the nod.
