Very well, Rondo has great performance in their last two winnings, his classic fake pass was still there and can still confuse the defense of their opponent. He will be a great factor in this series, even in the NBA finals if indeed Lakers will break the curse on the opposite team of Denver who came back from 3-1 disadvantage.
We are just talking about Rondo and Howard but how about McGee? He's been in the bench for so long in this series and I think he could contribute in the team with his under the basket offense. With a lot of great players in their roster, I guess they are having short period in the court. Is Javale Macgee injured? He just played for five minutes in the last game.
AFAIK, he is not injured.
I've been wondering that for some time now and they are not using McGee the deeper they get from the playoffs. I guess you could read this article since they already explained it well why they chose Howard than McGee.
