Rondo is going to abuse the Fakers

[P2]

I just saw the end of Game 6, and boy, the Lakers defense looks vulnerable. Rondo is going to have his way against Fisher, and the rest of the Fake Show defense, which isn't great at all (not sure what Collins meant by saying 'two great defensive teams'). Furthermore, the Fakers are going to face some real defense by the Celtics, so Kobe needs a lot of those miracle shots like at the end of the 4th in Game 6 tonight, and obviously it won't happen. Orlando was tough defensively, which the Fakers are not, so the Fakers are just going to get Rondo'd, plain and simple. Rondo 4 Finals MVP, I can feel it in the air!

Bynum and gasol can block shots, but not as good as Dwight (no elbows too i assume) so i expect rondo too cause havoc in the faker defense

Rondo remembers him sitting down, while the team won games without him. He'll come prepared and prove something. He'll shred Fakers D.

[MaxwellSmart86]

Frustrating to watch that WEAK Phoenix defensive effort....horrid.

Forget about Bynum, the Lakers don't even play Bynum in cruch time.

And Pau Gasol gives new meaning to Spanish (Bull Fighting) defense.

I really hope so... Rondo's play and decision making has left a lot to be desired from in the last 3 games. He needs to go back into his aggressive playmaking in which he got everyone involved. He's trying to score too relentlessly at times to the detriment of our team and ball movement. His defense hasn't been there at times also as of late.

He's had a fantastic playoff run, but I hope he goes back to what he was being effective with up to a couple of games ago. I know he's battling some injuries, but there's not reason to let those injuries affect his decision making.

At the end of tonight's Game 6, it's interesting that Doug Collins said there were some interesting matchups in KG vs. Gasol and Ray/PP vs. Kobe/backcourt, but didn't say one word about Rondo.

Either Ray or Rondo ... If Fisher is on Ray again, I think he'll have another big series.

Good Point, as well as others here.

Shot Blockers don't get any better than Dwight, and we've survived him. Gasol and Bynum are tall timber, but now that we have Sheed playing well for us in the playoffs we have one more big to throw at them.

Rondo should have no trouble whatsoever penetrating the Laker Defense.

I'm not sure if Rondo will Abuse the Lakers, but he will certainly cause trouble for them.

that is strange..  it would seem that Rondo vs. Fisher/Brown/Farmar is the most glaring mismatch in the series.  LA's entire defense will be adjusted for Rondo.

I'm sure Nate will get minutes after his impressive performance in the last game.  With his speed and quick play, he also looks like he might be able to shred the Faker defense.  We shall see, pure speculation at this time.

I'd love to see Rondo go off on them, expose them once and for all.


Let's go Celtics, fight with heart and pride, as always.

Westbrook was supposed to abuse the Lakers. Lakers won the series.
Williams was supposed to abuse the Lakers. Lakers won the series.
Nash was supposed to abuse the Lakers. Lakers won the series.
Rondo was supposed to abuse the Lakers. Lakers won the series.
Repeat Champs. Old 3 is no more.
