did you listen to what he said? Rondo stated he told AD to elbow Dray in the face to get him to react to get thrown out of the game....did you see what the Warriors were like when Dray was suspended last year? Rondo is not wrong. If Dray gets suspended in a series with those Pelicans. It would be very likely that Warriors would struggle that game.
@@scutifr holy crap did noboby listen to what Rondo said?????? AD WAS SUPPOSED TO ELBOW DRAY TO START A FIGHT AND GET DRAY KICKED OUT AND SUSPENDED FOR MULTIPLE GAMES........if that actually happened and the Pelicans had a healthy Cousins.....Rondo is not wrong, they would have had a very good chance to beat the warriors
@@scutifr then you have forgotten the force that Boogie was when there was nobody on the opponent to slow him down.....................Boogie was Shaq 2.0 ...............did you forget????????????
@@mzilber1 No they wouldn’t have. That team had Ad and cousins. No one had an answer for them. Two best bigs in the league at the time. The warriors had no one to guard them. Definitely would have been competitive. With Rondo running things?? Yall are sleep.
I remember that series, Alvin Gentry tried to outpace the Warriors and it just never worked for a full game, even with AD, Jrue, and Rondo playing great. I dont see how having Boogie would change that
yup because AD didn't do what Rondo sad.....I know Rondo talks fast but you clearly says "I told AD to give you a bo...." meaning strike you in the upper body area with an elbow. Meaning try and get Dray to get suspended for 3 games......that's what Rondo was refering to
Prime boogie changes a lot, because now you’re over stressing Dray KD and Loon on the defensive end. Outpace wouldn’t have been the plan. We’ll never know
Wow! What a treat to see these two talking deep hoops! Talk about Basketball Einsteins, they are two of the greatest floor captains/b ball minds of the last 20 years. If you want to learn, really learn how to play this game, this is a chance to dig in. Thanks Drey for putting this up! And I'm with Rhondo, if Cuz had been healthy or AD had not been kinda soft, would have been a completely different season....I'm remember those games and, usually by the 2nd quarter, Draymond would have AD just shook!
uh a lot of comments seem to have misunderstood.....Rondo is saying AD should have started a fight with Dray to get Dray suspended for multiple games. That, and a healthy Boogie.....very well could swing a series....
I liked how those Pels and Bulls. Injuries suck. But oh well, IF every team on every championship run had full healthy squad and competed against full healthy squads, can only imagine how different things would've been...
Love BD's point at the end. NBA discourse around defense is absolute garbage. People really pretend like defense isn't literally 50% of the game. NBA fans, commentators, and even when you hear most players talk.. they all have a HUGE offensive bias in how they see the game. And talking about fans and commentators (including the LARGE majority of ones with MVP votes), they have ZERO idea how NBA defense even works. Just no clue whatsoever. And it's ridiculous, because defense is a HUGE part of winning. Defenders have always been undervalued in the league. Like.. for my money, I consider Andre Iguodala to have been a better NBA player than Carmelo Anthony... just waaaaaay more valuable to actually WINNING, by being a very good secondary ballhandler/offensive facilitator, and a TOP level defender. Just MUCH more impactful to actually winning. But since Melo specialized in the one thing fans can recognize, personal shot creation, he's seen as not only just better.. but being in a completely different tier than someone like Iggy.. but I think Iggy is HANDS DOWN a better player than Melo ever was. Same for others like.. Jrue >>>>> Kyrie CP >>>> Russ Draymond >>>> Barkley But for as long as everyone around basketball puts personal shot creation over every single other thing on the court (including the things that do waaaay more that leads to wins at the highest level), basketball conversations remain pretty dumb.
ohhhh "I beginning to love analytics"....Isn't that cute ????...Let's complete the thought: But when I was playing, I would bad mouth it every step of the way. But things have changed, I am looking for a COACHING JOB, as opposed to before when I would think nothing about undermining the coaches and analysts on the staff.
The value of a dynamic offensive player FAR outweighs the value of a dynamic defensive player. That's not to say offense is more important than defense. They literally go hand in hand. If you get a stop, you're more likely to score. And if you score, you're more likely to get setup on defense to get a stop. As a team, they both matter equally. But individually, its not close. 5 Stephen Currys would beat 5 GP2s in a game and it wouldnt be close. 5 Jokic's vs 5 Rudy Gobert's is no contest.
OR if you want to think of it another way ... make any 4 man lineup of avg players. Put Stephen Curry on as the 5th. That team will be MUCH better than if you put GP2 on as the 5th.
The fact that players think to strategize to get you to get yourself ejected, is a subliminal signal to plug this hole 🕳️ in Draymonds approach. Players think they know his weakness to trigger him. It's scary to think someone so important to Steph's success is this volatile and hot tempered and can be so selfish, he forgets how needed he is!
Bro u had curry dancing in pre games , KD putting up shots in slide , and Klay being Klay just shooting …. Nobody wanna fw the warriors for a good 4 years ( if KD and Klay didn’t get hurt) that would been 3peat
Sick of the revisionist history with that team , y’all weren’t doing shit y’all talk like that team was a super team and “if cousins doesn’t get hurt watch out” y’all were a fucking 8 seed that whole year………….. with him healthy.

That team was interesting. I wonder what would of happened if they kept those four together
Rondo on the same stuff Orlando Brown was on
Wtf look at rondos thumbs 👍🏼 haha 😂
Now that I think of it rondo might be still high off xans how are u going to beat prime warriors with javale McGee?
I trust rondo IQ if he says they could’ve beat them I believe him

He not lying
He’s lying his ass off
he’s lying crazy
He’s lying. Lmfao
Yeah he is.
Warriors did play them in 2015 and Curry averaged 2 points more than AD lol it was a sweep
If boogie hadnt gone down AND it they managed to get a proper wing player at the 3, then MAAAYBE take warriors to 7 games.
Dray couldn’t guard either one. They were getting 25+ , 12+ in the same game. Pels definitely could’ve more of a challenge to them than Houston was.
