Well, he didn't really make any bad plays in the 4th. Probably 2nd to only Dice (who was insane) for 4th quarter MVP. Having 0 TO's and 6 assists in a tightly contested 2nd round playoff elimination game is extremely impressive for anyone, much less a rookie who's still learning the ins and outs of the position.
You are right though. I kept glancing over at the bench, thinking Flip would play it conservative and scared. Have to give Flip credit for not going away from what was working just because Rodney's a rookie.
