What's wrong with the Celtics?

Everybody blames it on their health and lack of Kevin Garnett. Admittedly, any team without K.G. would tend to slump significantly. But as a life long Celtics fan, I feel the problem goes much deeper than that. I think the main underlying issue that the average John Q. public is missing (and Doc Rivers) is the role of Rajon Rondo. He's averaged 10.6 points per game during their championship year in 08' and last year he improved his average to 11.9 points per game. This year he has pushed it up to 14.0 points per game. On any given night, I see him drop 20 points. While I am all for an individual improving his stats...at what expense does it come to the rest of the team as a whole? Last year, they didn't even make the Eastern Conference Finals. This year, granted it's midway, they're slumping and losing to scrub teams. The more points he scores the less he is involving his team mates. When they don't score, they lose interest in rebounding, hustling, the little things. Just a thought, but if he'd give up the ball a little more like in the past, perhaps they would keep their interest level up and stop losing leads and such. What do you all think! No haters! Actual sports fans answers only...be mature!
