Regardless of what Nelson lacked, he still was a 3 point threat. With Rondo, you are playing 4 on 5. Thus Dirk will see more double teams. The spacing on the floor changes. Offense was never our problem. And based on recent years, Rondo's defensive stats have not been good. Wright was the best backup center in the league. Pin pointing a couple bad games to determine he can't play against the best is ridiculous. And having no backup center spells doom. Chandler isn't young anymore. He needs his 16-20 minutes of rest.
