Lebron might try to guard Nate Robinson

[badshar]

Nate will probably foul out in the 2nd quarter because of this.

Who is to say Nate will guard him?

Nate might need smelling salts by the 2nd quarter due to LeBron's constant fouls great defense.

  In any case, I remember in 2010 he said he was going to cover Rondo because every player they put on him failed mightily. Either Mike Brown didn't think LeBron could do it or LeBron wasn't able to stay close enough to Rondo that people noticed he was trying to guard him.

Naw LeBron guarded him just fine, the issue was Rondo was able to feed Ray Allen/Pierce as now both had match up advantages over Parker/Williams. So Brown put LeBron back on Pierce after that.

Mo Williams = green light for whomever was out there that series lol.

Remember how Brown thought it was a good idea to have Shaq check KG, so KG hit about 4 straight jumpers to start one of the later games?  Man that was a fun series.

  Meaning LeBron guarded Rondo, but not well enough to limit Rondo's effectiveness at all?

To be fair then Antwan Jamison was back on KG, which went just about as well for them anyways.

He also tried Jamison at the 3 and had LeBron guard KG. LeBron did okay on KG iirc. But then Jamison had to "guard" Pierce.....

Definitely a fun series, I still think the Cavs could have had a chance if they'd just rolled with Hickson/LBJ more and tried to out quick the Cs. Instead they tried to play power basketball with us when they had 2 they had to hide on defense and a center who couldn't move enough to play help defense.

I never remember Lebron actually guarding Rondo at all. I remember talk of it but noting hapoening.

The Heat really don't think they can "stop" Nate? For one don't put Ray on him in clutch situations.

Meaning Rondo didn't have to do anything, he just passed the ball to Ray/Paul and let them have fun.

Or even better they screened Rondo with Perkins to force Shaq to play the P&R and then passed it to Pierce/Ray and let them have fun.

This is now officially 2010chat. 

If I remember right, Varejao and Hickson tore us up every time they were on the court together, which naturally meant Brown played them less and less as the series went on.

Oh yeah, I remember that, we almost blew a lead in a few minutes when AV/LBJ/Hickson just got shots at the rim over and over again.

I think AV was hurt though, I remember Brown saying something about that. I could be wrong though, Brown did a terrible job that series.

Chances are, Nate gets six offensive fouls
