The End Is Near

Coming off a loss to Dallas doesnt make things better off for us..

Speaking of Milwaukee , i think Bogut is a serious victim of a coach not using his skills to the best of his ability.

I agree, we’re winning Bucks, but not many dignity will be restored >:(

Boston will beat Milwaukee, Jeff, believe me. I have seen that 3,000 miles away here in the Philippines even before today’s heartbreaker in Minnesota. The Timberwolves just got lucky, and Doc Rivers again could not coach the Celtics to an effective closer of a play in the waning moments. But that coming game against the Bucks, to my mind, won’t even be close.

With all due respect, the last thing this team needs is a win. The longer they stay down, the more the losses pile up and the better chance we have to finish with the most ping pong balls. Given the changes the Celts need, a morale boost – at this point – serves no long-term purpose whatsoever.

We will beat the Bucks and go into the break on a high note. ;D

The Celtics might actually be favored by those that make up the odds for the games (for recreational purposes only, of course). They had better get this one with the five-game roadie out West on the horizon and the possibility of setting the NBA standard for futility. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Doc rush Wally back into the lineup for this “Big Game.” Hopefully some contending team will be intrigued by him before the trading deadline.

lol every game is gona be the game according to this site!! 18 straight and doc is still there???? it’s time to fire ainge!!

Key to a win Wednesday: No West at point guard.

I’m rooting for another loss— and not just a loss, but a real stinker in which the crowd boos them off the floor. Maybe Charlie V. will have a huge night. That will give Grousbeck the entire all-star break to think about whether or not he really wants Rivers coaching this team for the rest of the year.

I agree with Jeff. This team needs a win. Ping pong balls or not, setting a record for futility is NOT what this team needs.

A new coach is what this team needs, and if setting a record for futility helps bring that about, then that’s fine.

Of course I don’t favor firing Rivers until he sets the record. I’d wait until the 25th loss (to the Knicks) and then fire him. But the process of hiring a new coach should begin immediately. Ainge should be on the road interviewing candidates, not prospective draftees. You want the new staff to be in place before the Summer leagues begin in mid July.

If they want to keep losing to improve their draft position, let Beelejuice finish out the year on an interim basis.

Unfortunately, I expect them to beat Milwaukee on Wednesday unless Pierce reinjures himself in practice. As for the point guard situation, I’m sure that after what happened last night we’ll have three solid days of West bashing. But I think starting Rondo and completely revamping all of the rotations is a great idea. The more unsure the players are of their roles, the better the chances that the losing streak will continue. I might even consider starting Telfair at sg on Wedneday and let West have the night off.

yeah i guess we can spare a few wins just to keep the fans from eating each other alive.. but i think doc will makes sure we dont win too many more (he’s doing it on purpose you know).. cos the season is a write off already… lets atleast get #1 or #2 pick out of it..

At least I didn’t have to watch Blunt doing his skip-to-my-lou routine down the court in a blow out.

I actually thought at one point we were going to win.
The loss keeps us with the most lotto balls and helps raise Minny above the 10th spot in the league, which will help with the draft choice we have from them in the future.

I would have rather had the win though.

a few thoughts on perk. i know he has been hurt. i know he plays good d.i know he hustles. but… he only shows one move on offense. he often puts the ball on the floor after a rebound inviting someone to block his shot. is he not listening to clifford ray or is big cliff not talking to him.

here we go- last possession, game tied, and PP is bottled up, so what does DWest do as the clock winds down. He loses the ball trying to pass to Scalabrine. Thats plan B??? Scal played 37 minutes and had 0 points. Why was he in there and Green wasn’t who had 16-18 points. Or Rondo, who at least had the option to drive and maybe get fouled. Rondo could have been dishing to Dwest, PP, Green, or Al inside. I thought this was the game we’d get out of the funk. I can’t wait for the misery to end.

There is really no upside to playing Scalabrine. A 6-9 guy that can’t rebound, who is , at best a not so good 3 pt shooter, is taking minutes away from Green and Powe. People get energized when they see Powe because he’s a fighter, and he needs some minutes to find out where his shot is. And Green needs more minutes and an infusion of confidence.

Why win? Who cares about winning anymore, I wan’t to lose. Lets lose for Oden or Durant!

It’s all about the losing. We will find a way to lose to Milwaukee too, I promise.
