Need to put Rondo on wade full time

[droopdog7]

It is obvious that Ray can't stay in front of wade.  That's no knock on ray since he does qn admirable job on a lot of guys.  But wade gets by him with easy and he can pull up pretty much where he please.  This huge mismatch is disconcerting and wrecks our defense.

With Rondo, we at least know that he can take away the drive.  And frankly, because he can stick closer to him, he can bother his shot better than ray too.  Wade can post but that really isn't his game either.

It is desperation time.  Mia may simply be the better team. Indeed, a sweep at this time would not be q shock, especially considering that we aren't a great home team.

I would go a step further... Put Delonte on Wade... he is our only shot...let Redz Kamikaze loose if he is up to it.  Twice..

Defense isnt necesarily the issue.

Our offense is atroicious gross terrible, and set up nearly all the Heats offense.
Rondo needs to keep the ball in transition, see what he did in the last 4 minutes. I wished hed get his head outta his ass.

It is in this case.  Becuase as long as ray is on wade, Mia knows they have that in their pocket. They can go to it whenever they want.  It is the biggest mismatch in this series.

No way. Wade will either shoot over him, muscle him in the post or simply drive right around him. You need a bigger defender on him that he cant muscle.

Last year in the Cleveland series Ray had good results guarding Lebron in limited minutes. I would switch up the defensive assignments and let Pierce guard Wade and Ray guard Lebron.

Disagree.  Like I said, rondo actually has a better shot at bothering wades shot than ray because he isn't off balance like ray.

And wades game isn't muscle, it is guile and quickness.

We are already doing in stretches so obviously the team understands this already.  I am just saying we should do this all game.

Our offense is what is killing us.

We live and die by the jumpshot.

We're a less athletic Atlanta Hawks.

You want to put Mr. "Go For The Steal" on Wade? Somehow, I don't think that's a great idea. Rondo is having a hard enough time staying in front of Mike Bibby.

Our problem is that we can't get over the hump. This happens in part becuase the heat have something to go to whenever they need it.

And the reason he sometimes gets beat by bibby is because rondo is cheating off of him. That would not be the case against wade.  Like I said, we are already doing in stretches.
