Yes Rondo was a good rebounder, but im not sure how much its hurting us because other players have picked up the slack on the boards since Rondo got hurt.

Also, im not convinced having a PG that brings down 6 rpg is a key to victory in the NBA

Of course, he's missed.  He was part of the huge turn-around last season and it lasted because of him (I still remember that Bulls game).  No one interpretes Doc's message better on the court.  Hell, most of the time Doc didn't even have to work as hard because he's got another coach on the court.  And in my opinion, there's nobody on the team (maybe outside of KG) that cares more about winning than Rondo. 

The haters will always talk out of their behind when it comes to this guy but that's ok.  We haven't even begin to miss him yet.  Watch team streamroll over us come playoffs.  We'll be lucky if we even get to the Heat in the conference finals.  Just been real

  Outscoring your opponent is the key to victory in the nba. Anything that gets you possession of the ball quicker, increases your scoring efficiency or decreases your opponent's scoring efficiency will help you win.

No doubt, but im not sure Rondo getting 6 rebounds per game instead of or pf/C getting those rebounds and then immediately passing it to rondo has helped us win. 

Im not denying hes good at it, but I think Sullinger is missed on the boards more than Rondo is.

Goodluck getting that out of Green ever again.  So you're wrong.  He can't get you 40 points in a game.  At least Rondo's consistence with Triple doubles, especially assist and rebeounds

Take note... The Celtics were 2-4 when rondo had more than 10 rebounds this year.

That is not saying anything.  The guy was on the court with 4 other starters, of which 3 were playing some of the worst basketball we've ever seen.  And don't even start me on the bench. 

Last time I checked, basketball is still a team game and the team certainly wasn't doing jack in the begining of the season.  Rondo was the most consistent out of all of them

  Were that only true. Rondo getting 6 rebounds instead of the other team getting those rebounds helps our cause quite a bit.

Sure but that assumes all of rondo's potential rebounds would have been recoverd by the opposition.
