Rondo gives them another dimension in fastbreaks and is also another guy who can create his own shot. But he does hurt their half court offense, specifically for Pierce.
The east is weak this year as well, might be weaker than ever, so I guess by your logic they should make the finals since they're better without Rondo.

If Chi, Ind and the Knicks are healthy, then it's a lot stronger than last year.

Denver isn't gonna guard them much at all.

It's not only Lawson. Both the middle and the weakside are constantly exposed. Denver is too well coached. They have been cold to start, but they're getting great shots.
The will tear this gimmick defense apart.

Possible, I doubt it though.
