    That’s true but if anyone is up to the challenge, it’s Rondo.

    His best asset defensively this series will be swiping at Dame's hand. Fouls or not, that's going to make him change his play with that finger and get in his psyche.

    “Caruso tries hard” is really short changing the level of one on one he is playing. The best defenders get lit up by all NBA guards at times. He has stayed in front of Lillard admirably well.

    Could say somewhat similar about AC would be doing even better if not having to fight through or switch off Dame as he utilizes all the picks set for him. Don’t understand you seeming now to downplay just how well AC is doing on defense. Elite has been rolling off many tongues of late. Elite offense will always break loose at times.

    I'm just sensitive about the Eagle and read you saying, "he tries hard 'but' "

    :Blink:

    Rondo was awful and he can't shoot: definitely the answer will be for him to take away minutes from Dion and Caruso "Lebronshame"

    What should happen?

    Rondo takes all of Danny Green's minutes.

    What will likely happen?

    What @Pioneer10 said.

    I don't think anything happens.
    Lakers Guard rotation stays how it's been all Season. Whoever is Hot, Plays.

    Maybe he'll be ready for the closeout game, but more importantly next round
