TP to the original poster. This team plays so much better without Rondo.
I have a question for those out there who say this team needs Rondo so badly
How many championships did Rondo ever win for the Celtics, if he is so valuable?
And 2008 doesn't count because I think PJ Brown who was their 3rd back up center played more of a role in the team going all the way than Rondo did.
When did Avery Bradley win us a championship? Jeff Green? Glen Davis? Nate Robinson? Kendrick Perkins? Courtney Lee? Jason Terry? Greg Stiemsma? Marquis Daniels? What about these guys? Why the hell didn't they win us a championship?
This "Rondo makes us worse" thing is insane. I'd love to pull up these threads when we get bounced in the first or second round.
To those who say Rondo is a ball hog who hurts our offense: You know what isn't going to be fun? Watching our team unable to score against Miami, Chicago, Indiana, or any other team we may face in the playoffs who cares even a lick about defense.
After that, we'll see a bunch of, "Oh, man, if only we had Rondo, one of the few guys in the league capable of breaking down elite defenses." And the best part: many of those posts will be coming from people. Who say we're better without Rondo.
This is disgusting.
