Most important time for Rondo to show up?
This stretch of 3 games in 4 nights are all against high powered offenses, so is it safe to say that this is a good time for Rondo to exit his slump?
- I think so, in order for us to regulate these next few games, Rondo has got to dictate the flow... All three teams we are about to play (Houston, New Orleans, and New York) likes to run, and the only way we survive is if Rondo dictate the flow to the Celtics pace...
Of course we can run also, but we rather not with the tough stretch of games looming, this is also a good chance for West and Green to show up along with Rondo
Houston - have a high powered offense consisting of Kyle Lowry, Kevin Martin and Chase Buddinger, all who like to run.... but neither besides Kyle likes to play defense... C's are lucky that Scola is doubtful to play tomorrow, and KG will be going against a rookie from Kentucky by the name of Patrick Patterson.... Rondo and KG should exploit that match-up right away, also Krstic wont have much problem guarding the Chuck Wagon, given his offensive woes, but Krstic will also have to work for his offense given that Chuck is a scrappy defender.... We should also use the vets on our bench to school their bench and we should come away with the win... I think they're the 3rd youngest team in the league, so Rondo really needs to dictate the flow of this one
New Orleans - Rondo always get up to play CP3, one of his favorite one-on-one match-up, if he's not together by then, then we really know something is really wrong, and thats all the grace period that I'm giving him... if he's not himself saturday, then something is wrong with Rondo, Mark. My. Words.... On the up-side, New Orleans dont play too fast, but they can RUN also...
New York - we all remember what happened the last time we played this team, well they're much different now, and in some ways, more versatile... Rondo should take advantage of Chauncey's age, and Run Run Run.... KG has got to lock down Amar'e unlike the last time... KG gave him so much confidence, that if STAT had released the ball .2 sec before he did, then they would have won the game after he banged a three with KG standing 5 yards away from him... Pierce has got to take advantage of Melo's lack of defense, and try to get him in foul trouble.... Rondo must set them all up, and this should be a walk in the PARK, cause of all 3 teams, New York has the worse defense, we should be able to get whatever we want, and we cant let them get what they want...
Again if Rondo is not fascilitating like he was in the beginning of the season, then this road trip could be a huge failure.... If he shows up, we can go Undefeated...
Note to Rondo: Please show up!!! We miss you
Prediction: 3-0 road trip, its not too tough, we just have to be mentally ready, and focused
Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.
