No idea why Rondo is getting PT this late into the playoffs. Stupid move.

Looks like Lakers will have a harder time this series than expected. Lakers' big for some reason can't take advantage of the small ball.
Sometimes I'll start a sentence and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way.

Players have too much **** power. The only reason Rondo is getting any playing time is because of AD. I bet if it were up to LeBron, Rondo would’ve been gone after last season.
Thanks for all the great memories, LeBron! The show must go on! #Heatnation

Rondo is so bad why does anyone think he’s even remotely competent

Because the media have a fascination with players that use to be good ie Melo.. according to them you don’t age and you’re always the player you once were.

Rondo in over Caruso is almost embarrassing as Giannis minutes

Vogel has no power. He’s going to do whatever LeGM and AD tell him to do.

Bruh, styles makes fights, and no, no chance rockets making it to the Finals past LA then LA. However, we've got matchup problems with the rockets. When you gotta put in rondo in the 1st quarter, we clearly have some schematic matchup problems. The rockets don't play any defense, but they are totally sagging off of rondo. Daring him to shoot

There’s absolutely no way lebron is telling Vogel to play rondo. He isn’t blind.

Did Rondo dip his shoes in oil?
