I also love how people are citing this Grantland article as if it is proof that the team plays better without Rondo. Even though, you know, the article doesn't say that, and in fact implies the exact opposite.
The truth is, over the past 4 seasons, while Rondo-Pierce-and Garnett have shared the floor, our offense has been top 10 in the league. The perennial problem with the Celtics has not been the Big 3, it has been our inability to get consistent bench production.
