While I don't agree with the premise that our offense is better without Rondo, there's a case to be made that it should be even better than it has been with Rondo. Since early on I've been calling for Rondo to relax the control of the ball, to move the ball around earlier in the shot clock. As is we're currently misusing some of our best basketball assets. If he's going to control the ball as much as he's been doing, then he needs to produce even more than he's done so far (which has been already great, but that's the deal).
Pierce has been a problem this year too on this regard.
Also, I like Rondo off the ball this year in particular since he's hitting his shots. This is not a call for Rondo to not be very involved in our offense, or not control the ball a substantial amount of the time, but in some regard the amount his dribbling the ball without a pass has become detrimental to the team... someone other than Rondo with the ball would have completely killed our offense if this were happening.
Or he needs to push the ball even more.
But there's a rhythm to our offense that's been missing. Players need to touch the ball, it improves their playing time on the floor regardless if they're shooting or not, and when it's their time to shoot, they're usually more comfortable taking it.
