When the Celtics roll into town, the media enjoys picking on the weak aspects of Rajon Rondo's game, but the criticism doesn't bother the point guard.

"You got to pick on someone," he told the Associated Press.

Boston, who leads their first-round series against Chicago 2-1, has been led by Rondo, who is averaging 22.7 points, 10.7 rebounds, 9.7 assists and 4.0 steals while shooting over 50 percent from the field.

"Every city you go to, (the questions) are about what Rondo can't do and what he's not doing," coach Doc Rivers said. "And I keep saying, 'He's won a world championship at the point guard spot. He's had an unbelievable year, and we continually want to keep picking at what's wrong.' I try to look at his brilliance while playing through those flaws."
