    Was thinking the same...we can sag off of their players and gamble that way if things are getting hard on defense.

    Might be a good stratgy. Sooo happy we dont have to worry about GS anymore lol.

    I was in disbelief when they put Rondo in and let him jack up shots
    And don’t forget Dwight Howard

    Rondo yes but don’t let Kuzma keep getting wide open looks. If you do he may have a Dort type game.

    Rondo hadn't played since March. Not great decision by Lakers to throw him into the vipers nest and expect much.

    That said, I hope he plays 40 minutes in GM2 :D

    Rondo slipped on the floor a lot. Was wacky. He is their 2nd playmaker, so I can see why Voguel put him on the floor when Lebron's resting. But not sure why when Lebron is on the court. Him being on the perimeter doesn't let them space the floor.

    Kyle is Jeannie's love crush; so he'll still see minutes.

    KFC is food, so Rockets feeding.

    Kuzma has killed the Rockets int eh past. I would funnel shots to him, but still get a hand up. There is no body on the Lakers you could just leave open.

    Rondo is old, just let him to shoot better than let other players to shoot. His shooting percentage is around 30 percent even without players standing in front.
    I think he just like Beverly or cp3 type players who may use some dirty play to stimulate players angry. It only needs to ensure that our players have good EQ is fine.

    Another method we can use is that we can let our good offense and weak defensive player to guard Rondo. We can give Ben Mac to play, it can save our players energy for more men rotation.

    Kuzma is strong, u can't give chances to this guy.

    I wouldnt gamble with Kuzma. He can get hot.

    Shadow him to keep his confidence low.

    Point is to give them different looks like how the Lakers actually switched strategy by doubling on harden.

    If they doubled on harden all game some players are bound to adjust to the new normal and establish rhythm
