Only reason why Rondo not playing is because their up 2-0. If they drop these next 2, he's coming back.

And that single player still needs a team that fits around him to make things happen.
LeBron cannot operate on an island if he's surrounded by dudes who can't shoot.
He was catching small guards on switches the entire 2nd half because Indy was afraid to leave Korver/Smith open.
The paint was wide open for LeBron's drives because Channing Frye was taking Myles Turner out of the paint.
Not to mention how much he relies on them to guard the players that he isn't.
Again, team game.

Dislocated elbow after Wade pulled him down.
To be fair, I'd imagine it'd be a lot harder to play, particularly dribble, with a broken finger than to play with a dislocated elbow on your non-shooting arm.

There's still a chance Jazz could pull it out. Already stole one in LA

Is the lose of Rondo gonna suddenly make Bostons bigs rebound better? Will IT grow a few more inches? I'm not letting Chicago off the hook if they lose 4 out of 5 games. Jimmy is the best player on the floor. I expect them to win at least 1 in Chicago which means Boston will have to will 3 straight.

I'm going to need Rondo to still play with a broken thumb, put the team on his back, and upset the Celtics still

One more loss and Celtics are frauds.
Pacers are frauds
OKC might be frauds as well

What does frauds mean to you? Are all teams that are not as good as other teams frauds?
Only one of those I'd call a fraud is the Celtics because they clearly are not a #1 seed level team.

to be fair the east was trash from the start so nobody bit the cavs can be labled frauds if they lose which they arent
every single eastern conference team is buns except for the cavs
cavs = nba team
rest of the east = high school teams

I'm pretty sure its fair to say Boston has been exposed in not being able to compete with an 8th seed.
The Pacers have NOT been exposed by losing to Cleveland though, come on
. What are they supposed to do? What were your expectations?

Uh, Rondo was pulling down 8.5 boards a game, several of them being offensive. Boston will absolutely benefit from his absence on the glass.
He also spent a lot of time on IT.
This is a big loss. If the Bulls lose, that's not an indictment on Jimmy. Chicago's team has been substantially weakened.

Even with Boston's non existent rebounding and Avery Bradley missing 24 games during the regular season, they still were a 50 win team and were the no.1 seed in the East. I honestly do think Chyna's death and seeing Isaiah cry and breakdown right in front of them has the team in a slump and depression.
Rondo out with a fractured thumb is gonna turn this series around. Boston is gonna win four straight! Let's go!

It is a big loss. However Lopez is killing Boston in the paint. If you want to credit Rondo for the series lead so be it. Boston isn't hitting jump shots. Chicago is running people at IT forcing him to pass. Boston wasn't a good rebounding team all season. They won many games having IT go nuts in the 4th. Jimmy is a great defender right? He better clamp IT if the game is close in the 4th.
In the NBA the stars carry blame. Jimmy being the best player on the floor has to get his Bulls 2 wins. It's on him.
