We have yet to have our full team yet. When the playoffs get here KG and them will be playing max min instead of 5. And a thing for tonight what u think was going to happen missing two starters and two of the bench and two of is all of our height. I will still take my chances with this team instead of breaking it up. Go celtics
I literally chuckled when I saw the thread title, and I don't mean it in a disrespectful way. It's just that when I consider this team and its present construction, I'm not even sure of them MAKING the playoffs, much less making any noise there. I love this team, and I believe it to be capable of so much more than it's produced so far, but I'm not sure these guys will ever all have their heads in the game at the same time. You also mentioned injuries, and that's another problem: this team's been snakebitten since KG's initial injury in '09, and I can't see them getting even mostly healthy ever again--too many older and/or injury-prone players. So I don't think it's an overreaction at all to feel, in spite of whatever hopes one may harbor, that this team is cooked and destined for, at best, a first-round exit. Which is why a lot of fans want to see the rebuilding process start now; I mean, I would like to see all of the Big 3 retire as Celtics, and see Rondo be a career Celtic and have everything work out lovely for all involved, but if their recent play is all we have to look forward to the rest of this season, starting the rebuild now (if the right deal presented itself) is at least worth considering.
