So why have we really lost the past two road games?? Because our bench and pg/center have been non existant factor for the main part. Honestly we want to blame the big three with every loss, but its not like they are letting lebron score 40 +(he can tell you he is performing the worst he has his life against us). Pierce and kg have been doing an amazing job on defense on lebron. On the other hand also lebron has done a great job on pierce. With pierce not needing to be double teamed the cavs have doubled kg and ray allen every chance they have got and it has worked. Rondo and perk were good at home but they have failed us a bit on the road. Rondo shoots 7-14 but his inability to nail the jumpers is making it easy for the cavs to sufficate ray allens offense and for him to get started in any way
Also the cavs bench have been outplaying our bench and our starters for the most part the past 2 games.
solution to all of this in my opinion is that we need to give eddie house a start instead of rondo next time we face the cavs at their turf. Cassell is just not cutting it thus far as you can't just dribble up the court and hope you can make contested 2's consistantly. We need eddie house to bring the ball up, pass it to kg , pierce or allen and if they collapse on any one of them to have eddie house nail those threes
Confuse their defense and the rest of their game. Bring rondo in at that point when their defense have been running around everywhere and with rondo's speed and energy he will have such an easier time.
