After watching the DVR of last night, it’s readily apparent that the streak is metasticizing, for want of a better term.

The first half is the worst defense I’ve seen the starters play – just awful. Shot selection was poor all night long. Ball movement was weird – really good on one possession, horrible on another.

Rondo was terrible all night long. His inability to score is inexcusable.

Bench had some good possessions in the first half, but they don’t defend a lick, either.

A very sobering, inept performance overall.

I’m not in love with Rondo like some people on this board are. He’s one-dimensional – a distributor – and we’re playing 4-on-5 offensively because he has no offense outside the rim.

Plus, his defense last night wasn’t acceptable – along with just about everyone else.

Until he learns to shoot, he’s just a one-dimensional player who hurts this club on the offensive end. He should have done the work last summer, and he obviously did not.

I see us losing at least 2 of the next 4…if we’re lucky

I feel that somewhere in the next week the C’s are going to snap their losing streak. I don’t know when or where, but they’re gonna make it. Keep the faith C’s fans. All is not lost, yet.

The Spurs have had ruts similar to this over the years and they’ve been the most consistent team in basketball for the last decade and won more titles than anyone else over that period.

It’s not something that by itself that fans should be overly concerned with, the team will snap back into shape sooner rather than later.

…is coincidentally my personal nickname for KG´s sweet 15 ft jump shot. I yell it whenever he hits it.

No matter how bad the bench performs, with the way things are going (current play, no valuable trade pieces), I think what we really need right now is more production from the starters.
They are the superstars, after all, and sometimes you need a superstar performance to right the ship. .
Maybe less Ubuntu, and more “Pierce is da maaan” for 2-3 games is a good thing right now.

Meh, I guess I´m out of ideas.

I’m glad to see there are a few people with some sanity, but most of you never disappoint with memories of 2 weeks or less and sky is falling mentality. The team is out of sync at both ends. They will apply themselves and get back on track I suspect within a couple of weeks and possibly sooner.

I expect that the bench play will get better and that Ainge will find at least one additional piece that makes them more formidable for the playoffs. Even as constituted, they can compete for the championship, if they get back into the rhythm they had earlier in the season. There’s no reason they shouldn’t regain their defensive form. The team especially the bench players could probably use a couple of practices. If Pierce can relocate his 3-pt. shot with some consistency, that would be a big help on the offensive end. I think it affects the confidence of his whole game, although he continues to contribute in other ways.

We can probably all agree they don’t look like a chamionship contender right now. We should all as well have enough perspective to realize that’s likely not going to last much longer.
