I actually have noticed him taking a bunch of them away Bass this season.
I'd rather have Rondo "stealing" a rebound from Bass rather than a player on an opposing team doing it, which probably happens more often then we like.
Seriously.
Do we think Bass is some great rebounder?
How's his rebounding been since Rondo has been out? 4, 4, 7, 8
Also, how come Sully doesn't have this problem?
I do think there may be something to be said about him slowing down the break, but I also think people are overblowing us being more of a fast break team with Rondo out anyways.

That's not the way it typically pans out though. These are mostly uncontested rebounds where the opposition is pulling back, and Rondo has time to step in towards the paint and gobble it up.
If this even was the case, if Rondo can easily walk in and grab most of say 10 rebounds he gets in a triple double game that some of you guys are saying he is padding, you think that means we have good rebounders under the hoop?
Someone has to grab the ball. If our bigs are letting players just go grab the ball then they just aren't good rebounders really. Again, Sullinger doesn't have this issue.
