Pierce on Rondo: “He’s knocking down his shot. He’s TAKING his shot. That’s what we’re going to expect from him. He’s our leader.”

Rajon Rondo shot 45 percent from the floor last year. NBA.com reports that Rondo shot 39 percent from 16-24 feet. He was better, but inconsistent. This is a major challenge to his game and another indication that this year could have a huge impact on how Rondo’s career is viewed going forward, and what the reflection of his championship-contention years showed. So, you know, no pressure.
