Sure the Bulls were a much better team with Rondo but the Cs were a much much better team putting Green in. Having that one guy who could sit in the paint and disrupt IT4's drives while getting nothing from Amir on defense lead to both the poor offense and defense. Green could still play Mirotic even if Rondo was in the game and on offense, the extra space was what IT needed to work.
And with Green in the lineup instead of Johnson, the Cs are much better closing out on the shooters.
Sure Rondo could have gone crazy and lead the Bulls to a win; we'll never know. But I think Brad had some answers that would have won the day. At least that's the way I'll be remembering the series.
