The Problem is Rondo is only dangerous with the ball in his hand. Half the time when there is a rebound he runs to the ball, instead of the rebounder advancing the with a pass to the closes person up the court. He then dribbles it up and makes an assist closer to the hoop.
But some times the easier play would have been the rebounder just kicking it up the side line.
Some times he waits for a play to develop instead of creating out. This causes a stagnate offense. Which makes it easy to deafened. Its also predictable.
Some one has already said this, but we are not better with out Rondo, but we are playing a better way of Basketball. We saw last night the two versions. We got up with the new style of moving the ball, but then PP kinda became Rondo ish and had the plays run threw him which slowed things down.
Im hoping Rondo sees how well the play is when with in 3 seconds of getting over half court its on the the next man instead of dribbling for 10 seconds waiting for some one to get open.
The problem with posts like this is that we're probably getting fewer fast break points now than we did when Rondo was playing. People are comparing what's happening now to a version of Rondo that never existed, either because they just hate watching Rondo play, they only notice a few events in a game and assume that the same thing happens over the other 45 or so minutes or they're heavily influenced by what they read on the internet.
