well, the one good thing about the team now is it seems the people who claimed we would be better without Rondo based on the C's having a better record when he was out injured seem to have stopped posting those comments. I think the C's record without him has taken a real hit since the trade
Not that it matters now, but agreed.
We are bad with Rondo, and are atrocious without him.
completely agree
The idiotic belief that the C's were better without Rondo was perpetuated only by Rondo haters. It was quite clear that we were not - not in the past, and certainly not now.
Rewinding back a few years, we did go on a winning streak after Rondo went down, but what people forget is that we promptly went on a losing streak thereafter. Many of us also said we'd struggle in the playoffs without Rondo. And sure enough, we lost to the Knicks and looked horrible in doing so, especially offensively. Had Carmelo not missed two free throws in the 4th quarter of game 4, we would have been swept 4-0.
I'm glad these people finally shut up.
