No passion, no effort, no motivation...

It's really hard to play when Doc has a fascination with midget ball, and opposing teams just put on a layup drill against us. It's happened just about every game as Doc insists in playing Bass a center, heck he's playing Green as a center at times.

Well, Green and Bass are the biggest healthy rotation-caliber players we have, really.

Exactly. What do you want, to start DJ?

Theoretically, I can see an argument for giving Randolph a role -- he's the biggest guy we have, and is the only healthy big on our team who doesn't appear allergic to rebounding.

However, he's not _that_ much bigger (6'10/235) than Green (6'9/240) or Bass (6'8/250), and his limited skills and athleticism are holding him back.

41 minutes to Crawford. (Who would be our 5th string G given a healthy roster.)

25 minutes to Terrence Williams (our 6th string guard.)

How many strings you got there? lol

At guard, Rondo, Lee, Terry, and Bradley are all ahead in the pecking order. That makes Crawford and Williams 5th and 6th string guards, indeed.

Boston has nothing to prove at this point.  THey proved they could win games without Rondo.  They proved they could hang with Miami even without KG.  At this point it really doesn't matter.  We are still 9 games ahead of Philly and there are only 12 games left in the season. 

What's the purpose of effort and passion at this stage in the season.  Expending too much energy could be detrimental to our playoff health.  Motivation?... motivation for what?  We're arguably better off facing Miami in the first round anyways. It seriously doesn't matter what happens until the playoffs start.  Sorry, but that's usually the case late in a season.  We have nothing to play for.  Chill out.

The real problem is: You have some important players injured like KG, Rondo, Sulli and Barbosa. So, what GM is doing before tradeline to find bench players or replecments for eventual injuries?
