I think the original gameplan has Rondo driving to the hoop, so the rest will play more on the perimeter.

If Rondo is on the bench, Eddie is on the court, and he`s as pure as they come from behind the arc, so the others will post up and drive more.

It´s no rocket-science.

Seeing the numbers are interesting, but I agree the conclusions aren't profound. Rondo breaks down the D like no one else on the team AND has good shooters around him. The logical conclusion is lots of good looks for many good shooters.

I've wanted Rondo setting up House for a LONG time; House would go insane. Nine points in 45 seconds on a regular basis? Hells yeah. I don't know why Ray gets 98% of the benefit of Rondo setting him up and House just 2%. It sucks. Instead of breaking the record last year with 44.3%, House could have taken twice as many 3s and hit at 50%. I'm only slightly exaggerating.

Of course, a third of his attempts would have been those completely aggravating toe-on-the-line 2 pointers. Dude, seriously, you can't be a tad more court aware? Damn.
