Rondo didn't play horrible against Blazers . But it's the same old story as when he arrived .
He just doesn't make a big difference either way. He comes in, they don't play Rondo style basketball .
Mavs try and move the ball looking for a shot . Never hold the ball. So it gets passed to Rondo , who reluctantly shoots , mostly wide open shots because he doesn't draw heavy defense around the arc.
Dirk is key. If he isn't putting up curry type of number scoring . 30 points a game , I don't see how the Mavs win with only games of 17 and 10' out of Dirk . That's no Al Star production to beat LeBron.
Last 8 games Dirk is shooting 40 % . He is playing like a very good player . That's not gonna get it done. He has to be great for Mavs to beat the top 12 teams in the league consistently . Mavs mostly beating under .500 teams . They look weak , no where near there normal output against a good team. That's not gonna beat LeBron
Rondo is NOT the scoring punch punch Mavs needed. He is only average at best what he brings to this team
