You're the man for this. Great stuff.
Coming into this I was thinking 35-40 wins. After reading this post I'm thinking 40+ wins really shouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities -- given Rondo keeps a calm, cool, and motivated head. I don't care if he's motivated by the dollar signs on the horizon. If he gets close to what he was, the upcoming free agents won't worry about any possible dysfunction. The new arena couldn't come at a better time either.
