3. Will the backcourt score?
"The Los Angeles Lakers had better find a way to get points from the backcourt or they are in a ton of trouble! Rondo had 11 assists and seven rebounds, but he had two points. What’s even worse, he only took three shots. You say…so?"
Aftermath…
Rajon Rondo scored 11 points on 4-5 shooting to go with seven assists. That includes three shots from the land of plenty. Josh Hart chipped in 14 points on 6-13 from the field. Backcourt scoring Lakers fans! It makes a difference.
Josh Hart started last night in favor of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope…Lakers may happily want to get used to it…
"As for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope…two points and four fouls in 21 minutes. Other than that, let’s see…well let me put it this way…close your eyes, what do you see? Nothing? Well, that’s what Caldwell-Pope gave you. If you think about it, if you’re honest, you can’t remember him shooting the free throws."
Aftermath…
KCP line?…six points 2-7 shooting…21 minutes…nuff said.
