Rondo played well but the other guards did not and they hardly ran during the 2nd half of the game. It's gonna be an interesting dynamic. Walton is going to have to decide to play one guard the majority of the minutes.

Also, it seems Derozan refuses to lose against LeBron, now.
Regular season, sure. Spurs will fukk around and get swept in the playoffs.

I have been more annoyed with Lakers losing games than usual and it is because most of the game we lost were winnable :francis:

We've run the gauntlet to begin the season.

5 of these 6 games have been against teams that were above .500 and 3 of those teams were in the playoffs last season. Oh... And it's all been conference games.

If we start losing to the Bulls and Knicks then we have a problem.

The Rondo move was just asinine...Lebron,Ball and Ingram all need the ball in their hands...Bringing in a ball dominant PG was overkill.

Previous 3 games Lebron had 35 asst & 7 to....In the 3 games he's played with Rondo...15 asst & 11 to.........Ball 20a/6t in 3 gms without Rondo....3a/3t last night.....LA needs to trade Rondo for K.Korver and/or C.Frye or Zizic....Cleveland could definitely use a playmaker to pair with Love and Hood.

Also,Walton needs to re-evaluate when he gives Lebron his 4th qt rest....Resting Lebron with 6 minutes left of the 4th is very risky....LBJ's rest should come at the 10 minute mark of the 4th.......So Lebron would get one mid 3rd qt rest ,one early 4th qt rest...and play the last 7-8 minutes of the game.

1.Gilbert helped the Lakers last season when he made the Thomas trade(cap space)

2.If Cleveland isn't trying to win games then the K.Love contract extension looks even stupider.

Kevin Love ain't never helped nobody win games. :mjgrin:

Management knows that Love is their version of post-injury Kobe. He's just there to take shots, let opposing players by him, and give fans someone to root for. Cleveland is in a long-term tank right now.
