"It’s happened before," Rondo said at practice today. "LeBron’s going
to be LeBron. He’s a great help defender so he’s definitely going to be
helping. They did it a couple years ago when Kobe was checking me in
the Finals, so I’m used to bigger guys guarding me, giving me the shot
and just challenging the lane because of their wingspan.
“I really don’t care. If he checks me, he checks me. It’s not going
to change the way we run our offense.”
Meanwhile, Paul Pierce told reporters that he's not injured or sick:
being focus, being ready to give this team what it needs to win.
There's nothing wrong with me."
"I do whatever I gotta do to help this team win," said Pierce. "Guarding
LeBron
[James] is no easy task. He's the two-time MVP and a lot of their
offense goes through him — pretty much all of it. I know I have to
focus on that end, more so than the offense. I knew that coming into the
series."
If LeBron switches to Rondo, then Pierce should get cleaner looks at the basket. Pick your poison Mike Brown.
