C's flaws aren't going to just disappear

All I can say is..support your team through thick and thin. We played well to win the last 5 games and we will do well in playoffs too. If we tank during the playoffs then we have the whole summer to pound them....until then lets enjoy the ride and have faith. The measure of a true fan is how they represent after their team craps the bed. Remember going through the tough times make the triumphant times even more rewarding. Stay optimistic my friends....

Well said, BFM ... well said!



Flaws only serve to make good teams even better.

Tough question to answer. I'd lean toward a need for more athletic bench players, because if there's one thing that's apparent EVERY night this team takes the floor, it's how comparatively unathletic it is.

The most disconcerting thing tonight was the total lack of effort from the white jersies, in a game that was important for playoff seeding. There will be the usual litany of excuses on this board, and people will continue to claim that single games are meaningless, but that's just a cheap rationalization. Ten games left in a season and playoff seeding on the line - with a clear demarcation between third and fourth - and such alibis are just disingenuous.

  I don't know that 3rd or 4th is a huge deal, which is unrelated to how the Celts should be playing. I don't see a huge spread between Cleveland and Orlando and likewise between Miami and Milwaukee (who are close to even in the standings anyways.

  I also think that athletecism is slightly less worrisome in the playoffs because it's more of a halfcourt game but I'm a little concerned about our rebounding. It's frustrating when we get stops and give up multiple offnsive rebounds in one trip.

It's like theyre sitting there laughing when Sheed gets the ball behind the arc... If they leave him open there, he's 100% going gunning, and missing.
