Los Angeles Lakers: Rondo is in the Big 3 in win over Heat, 4 Lessons
By Ronald Agers
Playoff Rondo embarrassed Tyler Herro and the Miami Heat running the Los Angeles Lakers offense!
Yes, Ronald Agers wrote this article during the regular season. He believed it and stood by it to the full. The debates were passionate and well documented in the comment section.
Well, you know what had happened was…he wasn’t playing that good and the Playoff Rondo thing was believed to be a thing of the past. Oops! Can’t win them all can we?
Rajon Rondo is the third-best player on the Los Angeles Lakers roster in these NBA Finals. This is a shocker to the Miami Heat, the NBA and this writer. He is engaged, playing defense, moving the ball around and just trying passes no other point guard in the NBA would try in the Finals.

In 26 minutes, Rondo scored 16 points and dished out 10 assists. Like LeBron, he is not turning the ball over either (Only had one!). Now that he is knocking down 3 point shots, the Heat can’t keep up with this team.
Whatever Rondo did rehabbing his broken thumb, he figured out how to knock down every 3 point shot from the left-wing. He took three and made three. He shooting well over 40% in 3’s for the playoffs and just humiliated Tyler Herro taking him off the dribble for lay-ups.
Rondo also found time to pass Steve Nash and Larry Bird on the all-time playoffs assists list.
The chemistry between Rondo, AD and LeBron is what is going to get the Los Angeles Lakers over the hump. They are not going to let the Heat win a game. They see the finish line and you would be hard-pressed to remember if these guys have even smiled on the court.
Lake Show Life Lessons would be a thing if the staff didn’t see issues with this team. Okay it’s nitpicking because the series is done, but we are thorough around here! Read on to see the issues!
