#2 Ball hogging, isolation basketball
On one hand, you have Rajon Rondo, who prefers to orchestrate the offence with the patience of a predator awaiting the perfect moment to strike. If that wait costs two-thirds of the shot clock then so be it. He has won a championship his way and intends to continue in the same vein.

On the other hand, in Dwyane Wade, you have a two-guard who has won a championship his way, then by taking a back seat to the best forward in the world. In the 2008-09 season, he set the fifth highest mark for usage rate with 36.22, and in 2014-15 he posted a 34.71 rate.
Both the backcourt guards are used to having the ball in their hands. So is Jimmy Butler. Don’t expect to see a game of hot potato as these three move the ball.
