Rondo won them this game
Bron did too by setting the tone.....the way he played in the first half sets the stage for role players like Rondo to come up big in the 2nd half. All that shyt is connected
Rondo won them this game
Miami v. LA. LeBron v Jimmy G. AD v Bam Bam. Rondo v Dragic.
No pandemic P, no deaf mute peg leg, no Boston. No thanks.

Because he use to see Rondo numba 9 give Bron the business when he was in Cleveland and then in MiamiWhy does Harden play scared against Rondo? It's weird
Yeahhhhhh but that shyt didn’t work come playoff time.. Warriors use to blow that shyt up and make Capela useless... Rockets fukked up trading CP3..YALL KNOW HOW THE ROCKETS
USED TO HANDLE THIS TYPE OF DEFENSE?
A LOB TO CAPELA
AFTER DRAWING THE DEFENDER
IN THE PAINT.
They been on that wait till next year shyt for the past 6 years nowrockets fans in here talkin bout what houston 'needs to do to win.' these mufukkas ain't winnin this series
Notice how Rondo numba 9 out the clamps on Harden in game 2 picking his pockets for an open layup. He knows Rondo right hand is weak so he always hedge his left hand knowing Harden will try to go left for his set up dribble...That stretch in the 4th where Rondo made back-to-back wide open 3s (left open by design) and then pick-pocketed Harden for a layup, that was ball game. Turned a 1 possession game to a double digit lead. Everything after that Rockets were deflated and Lakers became inspired. The balding cac even hit a 3.
The first half was a game changer, HOU was great but couldn't get a cushion because Lebron couldn't miss + some 50/50 bang bang plays that didn't go there way.. i.e. fumbling defensive rebounds and getting blocking calls instead of charges.
Game 4 they have to play with that same energy and precision in the 1st half and win more of those 50/50s. Can't do anything about Rondo making 3s. But Rockets should start their offense sooner. It takes a good 10+ seconds of dribble drives and swing passes to find that wide open person because of how quick LA rotates, so you can't bullshyt around until half the shot clock is gone until you start trying to do something.
just had to give Rondo his shineBron did too by setting the tone.....the way he played in the first half sets the stage for role players like Rondo to come up big in the 2nd half. All that shyt is connected
Need to start seeing more of that hot Danny. He’s getting wide open looks and just bricking them.
I say that all the time. Miami had the best infrastructure he walked into.
However, the way they were playing defense 6 years ago he was going to be washed like Wade by the time he was 35.
That series against the Bulls in 2011, he was a killer in the mid-range.
Check out Game 2.
