Rondo and Chandler have more points than Dirk and Monta.
It's the effects of the strategy that was used effectively against the celtics in the KG-Pierce-Ray era when both Rondo and Perk were on the floor together. When you have two non-shooters out there with 3 great scorers, you cheat off the two non-shooters and force them to beat you. It's working tonight for the Suns.
I just think Dirk, Parsons and Ellis are just missing their shots and even in the KG-Pierce-Ray they still were a fomidable team. They never lost a playoff series with two non shooters (Perkins and Rondo) after all.
Yeah, it worked out ok for us, but I remember some really ugly nights and I think it cost us a 2nd title in that era. Cant complain though, I loved those seasons. It looks very familiar when looking at this Mavs team though, and Chandler and Dirk right now are no KG and Pierce back in their 2008 forms.
