Lakers: Does Loss of Rajon Rondo Ruin NBA Title Hopes?

We're two weeks away from the restart of the NBA season. Since the resumed season has been announced...we've seen a handful of players opt out for a variety of reasons. However...most have been inconsequential...guys who have limited impact.

That changed Sunday night with the news of Rajon Rondo injuring his thumb and potentially being out 6-8 weeks. We explain why it's likely that Rondo is going to miss the entire NBA playoffs. 

Who does Rondo's absence effect most? Does this ruin the Lakers' title chances...and LeBron's final opportunity at an NBA championship?
