Vogul just confirmed AD will play against Boston

Our size is winning so far. Boston's defense against AD is effective early. The lack of ball movement in this offense makes it like threading a needle against good defensive teams.

No body moves off the ball.... just watches Bron dribble the clock down and take a fade a way...

Rondo single handedly defended...got the steal.. offensive board and a great pass to Davis.

Good finish to the quarter Kuz and Rondo look like they came to play. AD can't shoot for ****.

Landsberger · Post #10 » by **Landsberger** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 9:04 pm

The much maligned Kuz and Rondo spark a late 12-5 run to end the quarter.

What kind of offensive plays does Vogel have other taking advantage of one on one action and height discrepancies? Look like a random collection of dudes playing pick-up. One pass, shot. Teams like Boston, Milwaukee and Toronto do such a good job with their motion and set plays.

Another game where Lebron is not looking comfortable scoring. Much of that is because you have Howard and Rondo on the court with him, and Boston collapsing well.

Landsberger · Post #13 » by **Landsberger** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 9:13 pm

Circa 2010 Rondo defensively today so far.

It's a disgrace that Caruso hasn't played yet. What more does he have to show for Vogel to play him?

Landsberger · Post #15 » by **Landsberger** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 9:22 pm

Danny Green is going to have to drop 20 a game in the playoffs to offset his play in the Reg season. He looks like he's being bothered out there.

Landsberger · Post #16 » by **Landsberger** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 9:23 pm

Caruso looking for wider and wider headbands as the hairline and neckline get closer and closer....

Tatum annihilating KCP and any defender the Lakers throw at him.

Landsberger · Post #18 » by **Landsberger** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 9:26 pm

The Caruso/Green backcourt is -7 quickly...

Really wish we had a bigger wing to stock on someone like Tatum. Green is a little too small for these match ups.

Landsberger · Post #20 » by **Landsberger** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 9:39 pm

Green is so overrated as a defender.... my god.
