Case of the Mondays Links

Good and funny article by Green17 about Doc. LOL. He certainly is the coach to lead us to the lottery. But Doc must be fired after this season. If Doc is still the coach next season, then that is just one more year wasted of Paul’s career, as we know Doc isn’t going to take this team anywhere.

I am curious to see how well Al does against duncan. I dont think this is gonna be a good game for Al.

Thought some of you might like to read my blog today and let me know what you think.

Don’t underestimate the New England sport media- they will be analyzing the Pats’ season until the next season starts. The NBA in general and the Celtics in particular are barely a blip on the local press radar, and memories of the Patriots will always get primacy over anything current with Basketball…

I give credit to telfair taking the credit/blame for him demotion. hopefully he can do something about it

We need to be in the race for Gasol. Danny don’t let him get away

I gained some respect for Telfair with those comments.

Gasol?

If we get Gasol, wouldn’t they be asking for Jefferson or Green? Where would that leave us?

Right back where we’re at, looking at Meritocracy at best until Wally and Paul return. My thoughts on Gasol have diminished greatly. He’s a good player, but is he the difference presently for us getting into the playoffs or is he someone who will make us good, but find ourselves with the 12-15 pick in the draft.

Those are the things to consider.

I’ll take my chances currently with our youths and there development. They’ve shown great promise and upside even though this team isn’t winning.

The future is bright with West, Allen, Jefferson, Green, Rondo, and I include Perkins. Before I would have jumped at the chance to get Gasol, but at what cost now.

Chicago of all the teams has strength to deal in all this, especially with a first round pick of the Knicks.

Danny should just stay the course with this team.

As much as I would love to make the playoffs, I would rather we build to win a championship team instead. Just making the playoffs as many have mentioned is not a guarantee to winning a championship.

My thoughts are continue the building process to lead us to championships year after year.

It’d be really nice to beat the Spurs tonight. I’m all for watching the bottom of the standings but this would be a great win if they can pull it off.

What? Gasol available and all we have to do is part-ways with GG?…where do I sign up? what’s the hold up?

Gasol is a legit big man/all-start/mid-20s

It’s mind-boggling to me that Telfair can’t figure out why his minutes have evaporated—almost as mind boggling as the fact that the reasons why he’s riding the pine haven’t been communicated to him by someone on our nine man, multi million-dollar coaching staff.

It’s called defense, Sebastian. D-E-F-E-N-S-E. Got it?

In our myriad of assistant coaches, do we have one to teach individual, one-on-one defense? Telfair has the individual skills to be at least an average defender — his size will always be against him — he’s just never learned how (and he is still quite young, so there’s time). For the time being, I liked the distribution of PG minutes in the last game.

Well, Doc needs to go. Danny deserves to go, but at least he can spot talent (except coaching talent).

But it won’t happen. Grousback doesn’t have the cojones. Maybe Wyc can work on keeping his wife out of the locker room and then begin to tackle a few larger issues, such as the proper number of cheerleaders or the proper shade of green for Lucky’s tie.

Gasol?

Read the article, please? Gasol wants to be traded to a playoff positioned team. Why would he change the Memphis Grizzlies for the Boston Grizzlies?

How can you not want Gasol? IF you don’t have to give up a lot to get him (Perkins, Telfair, the #1 from Cleveland and Ratliff’s contract) he would be a huge asset. A team with Pierce, Gasol and Jefferson would have a real shot to make some noise in the playoffs. I seriously doubt we could get him that cheap but almost any deal where we can get him and keep Jefferson and Pierce has to be considered.

because Boston has Pierce and some young studs…Right now it is Pau and…uh…Pau for stars. Playing with Pierce would be a dream come true for Pau, and heck, if the trade happened now, they still might make a big push for the playoffs- even though I am not sure that’s what I want…

Brickowski

I thought his wife and her friends were the cheerleaders!

That was embarrassing once I read the article. Couldn’t she have waited till the media left and players got dressed.

Goes to show you how much they care about the show more than a winning product on the court.

What’s next, Lucky in a skirt!

Forget Gasol. He wants to go to a real contender. The Bulls probably have the best chance of getting him.

Knowing Danny, he would probably give up Paul, AL, Gerald and a #1 for Pau.

Considering what he has given up for marginal players (see lopsided deals for: Raef, Ricky, Wally & Telfair), I can only imagine what he is willing to part with for a bonafide all-star.

At this point I don’t want a trade. Keep Doc, continue to play injured players, get big AL his 15 shots a game, develop the youth especially Green and Rondo. Take your chances with the draft. Play out the string. If worse comes to worse, off season type trades could be considered after the draft is final.
