Alot of teams i think are getting the fact that if you dare rondo to shoot and double team the big three you have a great chance to win. Its hurting to watch rondo dribble up the floor lately to just hand it off to one of the big three and run around and do nothing.
Honestly a pg in this league has to be decent at shooting at the least. I can't remember another pg who couldn't shoot well that suceeded and had a long career as a starter in the league.
For me if doc doesn't want to get fired(because he is asking for it with dumb decisions lately) he should give Pruitt a run as a starter. He could do the same thing that rondo does in offense but unlike rondo he can shoot the ball, and shoot it well. So if any of the big three is double teamed a guy like pierce will be less hesitant to pass to pruitt to shoot.
Rondo then could come in as the 6th man and i think he would do really well orchastrating the 2nd group consisting of powe, davis, tony allen (one of the big three) for example. (and also have time to develop his shot so he can be a proper starting pg)
Also changing pruitt from the start to rondo etc will confuse opponents defensive sets which is lacking right now as we must be one of the most predictable teams to play at the moment.
As for eddie house i don't think he should get regular playing time. He is ultra inefficient playing with the 2nd unit, can't dribble, has only passable defense and hasn't made a difference unless he is playing with the big three in clutch related situations. (or if you need some quick threes)
We can use him as san antonio used robert horry, for specific moments we need clutch shots
