What team can the Celtics beat that the Rondo crowd will admit, this team is better without Rondo slowing down the offense and not playing any defense?

I'm not sure what you mean by Rondo crowd, but I will not be impressed unless we make it further into the playoffs.

So, unless we make the Finals.

With Rondo we were not going to make the playoffs.

You have absolutely no evidence to support this.  Even with the record we had at the time Rondo went down we were still the 8th seed.

I hope you are correct but I think you are wrong.  In the midst of the 6-game win streak we had solved our problems and were on our way.  Then we lost 5 straight.  I admit the C's are looking better offensively over the past 4 games, but I am dubious of this team's ability to sustain.  If nothing else we still will need another impact big (even moreso without Sully).  I'll be glad if I'm wrong.

The ball is definitely moving much better without Rondo, but I think that's a philosophy change that needs to happen. In the first 2 years of the Big 3, the ball moved around the court a lot. Rondo is masterful with the ball, and can pick defenses apart (so I totally get why we gave him the ball more and more over the years), but we need to change back to the older style...and along with that, Rondo needs to look to score more. I think these are transitions that will happen, and I think Rondo will pick this up as he's watching the games. The kid wants to win as much as KG, and I honestly don't think he'll care what his numbers look like so long as it helps the team win. I think the team we have once Rondo returns next year will rely much more on ball movement, and Rondo attacking for points.
Rondo is a weak offensive player and a poor shooter.  That makes him somewhat unreliable off the ball.  Teams continue to slack off him.  We couldnt play this way with Rondo.  Our offense was built to play to Rondo's strengths and mask his weaknesses.  Now we're just playing basketball.

We have a bunch of quality backup guards who are offensive weapons.  Now we can uses those offensive weapons without restricting them into being merely shooters.

I think Rondo should be great off the ball, and I lament that they don't use him at that capacity more. His a big threat as a cutter, and he has multiple spots where he's been hitting his shot with great accuracy.

C's boxscore continues to be unique.   10 guys scoring between 4 and 10 points.

has anyone been paying close attention to the "savior" Avery Bradley?  Has his defense dropped off now that he's being asked to do more on offense?  I haven't really been watching closely... I feel like a lot of his defense is just based on effort an intensity... hard to maintain that.

Nope. Bledsoe is a tough player to guard, quick off the dribble with good handle.

starting to feel a lot like last year... all sorts of troubles early... underperforming players getting minutes... and then injuries suddenly started defining roles and the team found an identity.

Granted, our identity this year will be drastically different than last year... but we're starting to form one.
