Three Hawks players get Rondo’d

Let's examine the Hawks who are burned by Rajon Rondo on this play.

Jeff Teague – Forced to respect Rajon's hot jump shooting, Teague races out to the perimeter. Rondo promptly blows past him. 

Jason Collins – Frozen by the behind-the-back ball fake. He's in a tough spot. If he challenges, Rondo dishes to KG for an open 17 footer. Likelihood of KG making that shot is 90%.

Joe Johnson – A truly disgusting defensive effort by Johnson. He never left his feet to challenge Rondo. At the very least, Johnson should have hammered Rondo and put him on the line.
