I guess it will remain to be seen but I do not think they got better. I think their perimeter defense got worse and I think their shooting got worse.
The shooting argument is a valid one, imo. They probably do have less shooting.
And yes, Rondo KILLED IT for them in the playoffs. I was in disbelief, but there he was, out of nowhere, playing his balls off. Are you prepared to guarantee he does that again? I'm not. The narrative about him here that he "has been fine since getting away from Carlisle" is not accurate, imo. It has been a mixed bag for him since leaving, and I'm telling you, for two years, up until these past playoffs, he has spared everyone in LA to death. Public enemy #1.
