No Bosh. No D Wade. No J McRoberts. Cruddy game from M Smart. Nothing that great from the new guys. 16 point loss.
We look a lot worse. Because we are.
yup, there's a difference between playing Minny's "non-stars" and playing Miami's. 

not saying that Rondo would have ensured a win but I think you'd see less TO's, a better offensive flow and at worst a closer game if not a close win.

Looked horrible today, coaching was awful once again, effort sucked, basically made me want to puke.

I'm actually not sure how much Rondo would have helped us this game, just a lot of bone headed plays. He may have prevented a few but Rondo or no Rondo, AB is missing that fast break bounce pass and ET is missing a layup (just two of the many examples of futility this game). We weren't exactly world beaters with Rondo either, this team just makes stupid mistakes

But we have more draft picks, LOL.

He would've gave the Celtics a penetrator that's for sure.

Pressey is better than Jameer Nelson.

And Turner should start at the point.

The great thing here is that Rajon Rondo can no longer be blamed for this team's misfortunes, even though a few will try.

Now, if we could just free Jeff Green somehow. He doesn't deserve this.

Rondo cast a spell of bad habits on the rest of the infallible team! Witchcraft! Good thing we traded him!

I'll agree there. I think Smart penetrated once and kicked it out. He needs to do that more often

But Jameer Nelson got traded for Rondo so he's basically an all star. Let's chalk it up to a bad night.

I'd agree to this.

I feel like this game would have been a 4 point loss with Rondo, which is nothing to brag about

Nah Nelson was just a throw in because as the Rondo haters on this board would have you believe, Wright is the best thing to happen to this team since Bird
