Don't forget when KG was injured in 08-09 we went like 20-8 without him and struggled against the Bulls in the playoffs.
He was injured in 09-10 and we were more or less a 0.500 team without him, or with him but limited.  If you are implying that Rondo is more valuable than Garnett than I guess I disagree big time.

And also my main point is that without both West and Rondo we are definitely short-handed but still winning games we should win.  This likely wouldn't last with both West and Rondo out.

I also understand that there was crazy Rondo for MVP hype, I just was in the minority and not buying it.  We are better with Rondo but we do not become a 0.500 team without him as we were without Garnett last year.

  You seem to be forgetting that PP was injured as well. KG was struggling physically during the first month or two of the season in 09 when we were heading to our 23-5 start and were as good as anyone else in the league. We can win games we should win if any of Rondo/PP/KG/Ray are out as long as the others are healthy.

  Clearly you wouldn't be buying any Rondo hype, but it wasn't just hype. He was dominating games before he was injured and he's been able to outplay most of his competition even while he's been struggling physically.
