Disappointing game tonight. Kelly looked good. Rondo looked eh.
But the big news - at least to me - is that they've made Rondo the captain. Is it just because he's the most tenured player at this point and SOMEONE has to be the captain?
Or is Rondo really the captain of this team, like Paul Pierce was before him?
Pierce held the title for 10 years, the longest since Havlicek it from '67 to '78.
Yes, there have been some underwhelming captains over the years (like Rick Fox, but also none from 1980 to 1983), but I think it's a pretty big deal.
Also, watching Stevens now, and it was a surprise to Rondo on the floor when it was announced. Crazy.
