Celtics Need To Stop Talking, Start Fighting

No, not literally, I just wanted to use that picture.

"When you’re in a funk like we’re in a funk right now — we’re in a four-game losing streak — we’re getting beat basically the same way every night," O’Neal said. "We make a run and the other team just keeps coming at us. It’s like you know what to do, and you’re trying to do it, but it just hasn’t happened. It really is disappointing, but we’re at a point now where we just have to win games. It’s not about talking anymore, or whatever it is that we may be thinking. "You want to do the right thing, make the shots and sometimes it’s just difficult. You put more pressure on yourself than is needed, and you see the mistakes in the game — turnovers, easy shots, rebounds, we’re pressing too much."

On on hand I hear what he's saying and I know he's just doing the reporters a favor by answering the questions, but in a way he's talking about not talking anymore. Enough already. They just need to go out there and do it.

the need a roster shake up

- hardcore, because as constituted, they stink -

i cannot see the them making the playoffs with the effort they’re getting from the players they have, coached as such

Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk

It's nice to welcome Chris Wilcox to the all-injury, all-the-time team.

So sick of this team SAYING the right things

Do it! Stop talking about rebounding and do it! Its not that hard. this team is filled with liars and im starting to feel like they just want a pay check. What is wrong with this team. Look at pierce, allen, kg and jo….what kind of ending is this to their careers? Can you imagine if this is kg’s last season, he will get the honor of having people until the end of time saying “remember kg? He was such an intense player. League mvp. Nba champion. Defensive mad man. Team first player that was so passionate. Then there was his last year he played. He literally just took up slace on the court and couldnt do the fundamentals to save him life. And he was on a team of players that were capable to contend but instead him and his team took many nights off.” Thats one hell of a end cap to a nba career.
