But i think everyone's underestimating how quickly this will turn.

Not everyone.  I think it's going to take at least half a decade to end up with a team good enough to make the conference finals.

Why? How do you think it will play out?

It's just playing the averages.  The overwhelming number of teams that rebuild never make it to contention.

man do we suck right now. Its okay, its okay (weeps silently but smiles knowing that we have the picks for next year);

I want Green, Bass, Bradley and Bogans off this team next year.

[SHAQATTACK]

We will never loose to Bobcats at home ......

Suck


Come on Danny ......don't screw this up

Sit a Rondo , a Green and Sully ...for long minutes

Ironic that at the height of the last big 3 era, we could not beat them at home.

Yep.

I'm confident that Danny can put together the talent for Stevens to mold into a contender.  I think that will take at least a couple more years.

What people so often underestimate -- especially after things came together so quickly following the KG / Allen trades -- is the amount of time it usually takes for even a very talented group to come together. 

Unless you're bringing together a bunch of superstars (and not even necessarily in that case), the team probably won't be one of the true blue contenders right away.  It's called "reBUILDING" for a reason.  You have to build your way up, not simply pull the trigger and presto! contender status!


I'm optimistic that the team will be on a clear path toward contender status in two to three years.  But as for actual contention?  I think that's probably half a decade away, if we're lucky.

A lot depends on whether LeBron will continue to keep it going in Miami or assemble a new group somewhere else in the East. Otherwise, I think the East is going to remain weak for a while, and may be easier for us to get to the finals. 

Winning another championship is another matter.

I'm just hoping they'll be a playoff team in one to two years.

If you want some laffs, look how POed some Lakers fans are with the C's end of season free-fall.

This is sooooo funny!!!! You got to read this page and the next one in the link. They hate us so much!

[HomerSapien]

I just hope by the end of next year I feel like we have most of the key blocks for the rebuilding. Right now we need more blocks, and better blocks, and we have no blocks at certain positions.

[Rondo9]

Is that really surprising?

All the more reason why the rebuild should only take 1 year or 2 years max. Otherwise, we are going to be stuck in no-man's land; I'm looking at you Bobkitties, Wolves.

I don't want to spend another decade in mediocrity and be the laughing stock of the league.

[Rondo9]

I don't want to spend a decade in the lottery either.

Rondo deserved an Oscar and the broadcast crew an Emmy for not laughing out loud once the Magic's win was in the bag.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

I knew the magic would help us ....

Rondo .......

No way























And I might grow wings and fly tommorrow
