Would you rather have Rondo or Sullinger back right now?

[syfy9]

They are hypothetically both fully healthy.
 
I'm thinking Sullinger. We need a decent rebounder, especially since KG is down. Our front court is as deep as the pond outside my house.

Plus, we have like what? 5 capable guards? Then again, having playoff Rondo would be nice...someone who could create shots during the playoffs. I dunno. What do you guys think?

[NocturnalRebel]

Well if they were both 100%, of course we would want them back. We want them back now. There's some games where you can see that this team is missing both Rondo and Sully.

Playoff Rondo is a beast btw. He elevates his game to such a level where he's almost unstoppable.

[danglertx]

Well Sully cuts into Bass' minutes so that is almost an unfair advantage.  Playoff Rondo is tough to turn down but it seems like we miss rebounding more than shot creation.

[aporel#18]

Well, Rondo is the best point guard in the League outside of Chris Paul, and playoff Rondo is even better, so it's not that hard to tell. Sully is a great player, he doesn't play like a rookie and he was limited by his back, but Rondo is an All Star.

Sully wasn't 100% healthy before he was out for the season, so he may be an even better player after surgery. I hope they're both 100% healthy by next January.

Sully
without a doubt

[Porty]

Rondo, no doubt.

Playoff Rondo is a beast, we sure will miss him.

[GreenEnvy]

I'd personally think Sullinger would help more.

Our biggest weakness is rebounding and he was arguably our best rebounder. His sabermetric defensive numbers were excellent and can score from open jumpers as well as bang inside.

Rondo is obviously a great player, but with the guards we have and the playmaking we have for
Pierce (and Garnett), we can withstand his loss more than Sully's.

I really look forward to a healthy and more experienced Jared Sullinger next season. I hope Rondo improves his game/mentality just as much.

But until then, this team has doubters to prove wrong and opposing teams hearts to break.

[slamtheking]

Rondo's the better player but Sully would fill the hole

[BballTim]

Well Sully cuts into Bass' minutes so that is almost an unfair advantage.  Playoff Rondo is tough to turn down but it seems like we miss rebounding more than shot creation.

  If Rondo rebounds in the playoffs like he did last year then giving all of Bass's minutes to Sully would only gain about a rebound a game more than giving Lee's/Terry's minutes to Rondo.

[CelticConcourse]

Definitely Rondo. Bass is doing great and Sully has a whole career ahead of him; let's not screw with his back and his future, especially since he wouldn't get that many minutes.

Playoff Rondo > Inexperienced Sully

We saw Steamer in the playoffs last year (or did we? ) Let him sit this year out.

WAIT. This was supposed to be hypothetical?

Embarrassing thread



Uhh rondo and it's not even close.

[Ogaju]

Sully.

Playoff Rondo is a myth.

[Celtics18]

Would you rather have Derrick Rose or Taj Gibson?

Tony Parker or DeJuan Blair?

Deron Williams or Kris Humphries?

And people say that some of us around her over value Rondo?  C'mon.  I like Sully, but this is insane.

[Tr1boy]

Sully 100 percent. Our inside is hurtin so bad. And even if it wasn't, sully the bully is more important imo

Why?? the bitter after taste of Rondo only caring to break the assist record is still left. Just pounding the ball, instructing guys to give him a pick, telling guys to run around and then passing it to only pp or kg.

Sully did alot of things well and that is even pass.  He would pass it to the OPEN guy and play the right way. Also lets not forget that winning stretch we went on with a healthy sully

[Roy H.]

Rondo.  Sully can't win a playoff game (or playoff series) nearly on his own.  Rondo can.

I like Sully a lot, but at some point, talent trumps fit.
