KG-Rondo combo
Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2008 12:46 pm
Yesterday`s game showed again why KG and Rondo just aren`t the best fit. When KG is in the game our offense goes through him and that takes away from Rondo`s strengths.
With Garnett out Rajon is handling the ball more, he has the opportunity to create for himself and others and his speed really turns into a weapon.
But when KG initiates the offense Rondo is basically a jump shooting PG, which is obviously not his forte. Considering their strengths and what they like to do on the floor KG and RR just don`t compliment eachother very well on offensive end.
I would like to see more House at PG when KG is in the game and more Rondo when KG is out. House is basically useless if he can`t make threes (like in the last couple of games) and his skill set compliments Garnett`s much better than Rondo.
That is why bringing in someone like Cassell is vital, IMO. He is a perfect fit at PG for the way this team plays when KG is in the game. If we manage to add Sam I expect to see quite a drop in Rajon˙s minutes in the playoffs in favour of Cassell not just because of his experience but also because our offense would be more efficient with him on the floor.
I love Rajon`s game but it is frustrating to see how non-aggressive he is on offense when paired with KG. It is like watching a different player. I would really like to see a little more variety in our offensive scheme which would allow Rondo to handle the ball more and play to his strengths even in half court situations...Now, I have a feeling we just aren`t maximizing our potential...
