      Back injuries are no joke.


      Rondo looked like Tmac out there with no teammates and a bad back.

        The back injury is real it takes him 9 seconds to cross the mid court line.

          I'm a little disappointed they didn't go with 'flu like symptoms'

            We seen how Dwight struggled with his back when he was in LA and we're JUST now seeing him look almost like his pre back surgery self.

              Two things.

              1. I thought Rondo actually looked good in game 1. What happened between then and game 2 to make him not want to be out there?

              2. I must say, even though I don't like the way he left, I am very glad for Parsons as a person that he got a huge payday before injuring his knee and getting surgery. He deserved to get paid for all the work he did in Houston. He was performing way better than the minimum salary he was making and I am glad he got some money for it. Imagine if Houston picked up his option and THEN he got injured? That would really suck. Hope it's nothing career-altering.

                  Yep

                  Maybe another offseason and a new contract would help!!

                          So the Rondo era (can it even be called that?) is almost certainly over in Dallas. Hopefully Monta walks too, despite how much I enjoy watching him play when he isn't going 7/28. The only way I see the Mavs winning this series is if Harden gets injured, and even then I'm not sure that would be enough. Always next year I suppose.

                            Thing is, Harden hasn't even been Harden this series. Carlisle has done a good job containing him (as best as anyone can). The game plan has basically been everyone cheat off their man, trap/double Harden, and make the others beat us.

                            I think game 3, they adjust and say, "Let Harden get his and shut everyone else down".

                            I think Carlisle now has to adjust to the liability that is Dirk on defense. Anyone you have him guard can blow past him (this has been overlooked during Rondogate). You could have Dirk guard Ariza in the corner (who doesn't really drive- though Brewer will kill him off the dribble when he's in), or you can have him just give the 4's (who are streaky shooters) space to shoot like they've been doing. Though hopefully if they go to that well, the bigs will put it on the floor and attack the basket/look for the lob and not shoot the Rockets out of the game.

                              There is only so much Carlisle can do. Dallas is done.
