Thank god for Rondo. Never thought I'd be saying that in the RS.

Rondo's ability to get all the way to the rim is so important against this defense. No one else on the team can do it consistently, even Bron.

Lakers lack of dribble penetration from the backcourt is a real drawback for the team. In past eras it wouldn't really be a problem but in 2020 it's easily the most effective way to generate offense.

Get the ball out of Rondo's hands now please.

I agree that we need someone who can get to the basket

I would think Dion could do better, but he’s done, so we gota roll with rondo in spurts

Rondo needs to be running the point. He can get all the way to the rim and he's not useful off the ball. Use LeBron in the mid post.

Man. Bron just isn't generating good shots for himself or the team. Dribbling too long, needs to be more decisive

Kuzma's defense on MPJ these last few possessions have been terrible. Jumping on every pump fake.

Hard to generate good shots when there aren't any good shooters.

Not much of an excuse when Rondo has been able to do a much better job of not running out the entire shot clock and not settling for long jumpers.
