What do you guys think of using Ray as the point guard
for short stretches in the event that LA starts roaming away from Rondo? I've heard that they might use Kobe as a free defender and leave Rondo open. When we embarrassed the lakers in LA,
Tony Allen was actually our starting point guard.(Rondo was out with an injury.) This worked because the Lakers don't have anyone like Lindsay hunter who can really bother shaky ball handlers. We should be able to play Eddie a lot as a result, but I think that if we were to go with a bigger lineup of Ray, Pierce, Posey, KG, and Perk we could really take advantage of the Lakers. The 'benchmob' of the Lakers isn't versatile enough to deal with that lineup. Farmar, Turiaf, Walton, and Vu..jfkic aren't going to do much to help them because they are all either smallish or slow players.
Ray vs. Fisher/Farmar is a big advantage for us. Ray will just shoot over these guys and will out run Fisher.
Pierce vs. Kobe is an advantage for the Lakers, but definitely closer than Ray vs. Kobe. Paul can also use his size more to his advantage if he's matched up with Kobe.
Posey vs. Radmanovic/Walton/Odom. Posey can stick with these guys and totally take them out of the Laker's offense. I think he will be a huge factor in this series because of his versatility and his ability to guard any type of player. We can't keep him on the bench for too long.
KG vs. Odom/Turiaf --
Perk vs. Gasol -- Not much we can do here. Just try to make Gasol think he's playing on the Grizz again.
