What if we actually get worse

[droopdog7]

When Rondo returns?  Or, what if we do not get any better? 

20 games is a small sample size.  And there is still no telling that what direction the team takes from here on out.  But one would think that adding and all-star should makes us better no?

We may finally see what kind of value Rondo really adds.  For me, we are a boderline playoff team in an awful awful conference.  If Rondo is what many think he is, then we better be a playoff shoe in. 

Plain and simple.

I agree that Rondo should make us a playoff shoe-in, especially in this weak conference, but let's give Rondo some grace—he'll likely have some rust to shake off.

It will probably take between 5 to 10 games for Rondo to get comfortable and the team to gel, but after that, I agree that Rondo's return is likely to make the team better.

I hope we do get worse.  But hopefully Rondo plays great.
