WALTHAM — Forty-eight hours after losing their All-Star point guard, their floor leader, and their funniest practice personality, the Celtics worked out Tuesday, with the atmosphere at the Sports Authority Training Center rife with uncertainty.
The Celtics have played without Rajon Rondo before, when he was battling nagging injuries or during NBA suspensions, but the finality of his absence this season because of a torn right anterior cruciate ligament seemed official when he was not on the practice court.

I'm in a one person minority but I think there is a possibility these Celtics could be better without Rondo. Think about the talent that is on this team: Avery Bradley, Jason Terry, Courtney Lee, Jeff Green, Brandon Bass, Leandro Barbosa - none of them (with the exception of Green sporadically) have played up to their ability. I think a change in the dynamic might help. Emphais on "think" and "might". I was hoping Jackie MacMullan would agree with me but she was on WEEI the other day and she believes, like everyone else, that the Celtics are done. I guess we'll know soon enough. In any event - GO CELTS!!!
