Have we lost all confidence?

[j804]

It sure feels like it. We sure are playing like it. Not only that whats happened to our defense which is most important of course, but as well as our offense? These past 2 games we have been terrible at both ends of the floor.

-KG cant hit a shot if his life depended on it. No confidence he's not even looking for his shot anymore.

-Ray is not getting the usual executed screens and good looks, its more like sloppy pick then a forced ugly shot.

-Pierce is just doing to much 1 on 1 basketball and its killing us.

-Rondo looks like he is just gassed, very slow with no energy whatsoever.


What is up with our guys??? We lost all our swagger, how can we turn this around after laying an egg two games in a row.

I'm worried we might've spent ourselves in that 6 game stretch....hopefully that's not true.

Where do we go from here. I don't know we are still up 1 game, we must close them out I don't care how but it has to be done!!! KG RISE UP BRA, I NEED THAT LUNTIC LOOK IN YOUR EYE BRA!!!

Confidence isn't a problem. Defending picks is a problem.

Well played.

After we won the first 2 games, it seemed logical that we'd win in 6.  Figured we'd split a couple games in Boston, Orlando would own us at home and we'd close it out back in Boston.   It was pretty predictable, actually.  After we won the first 3, you knew we'd come into game 4 overconfident.  You knew Orlando would come into game 4 with nothing to lose.  You knew Orlando was going to probably win that game as a result.   Logically, it makes sense that they'd take all that momentum and energy back to Orlando and whip us.  Problem is... in Game 4 and Game 5 there is no sense of urgency for a team that started up 3-0.   Now that it goes back to Boston for game 6, there is going to be a serious sense of urgency for Boston.   They either win this one or lose the series.  

Haven't lost confidence... it's kinda what you'd expect.  A loss of focus was inevitable.  Orlando got counted out after falling down and has been playing with house money.

ps. NO! Confidence is one of our best things!!! CELTIC PRIDE

These guys are way way over experienced to lose confidence, especially being up 3-2 and playing next game at home.
Reply on the first post:
-KG didn't touch the ball(no plays run for him, took shots that he had to) in the 1st qtr and find it hard to get going afterwards
-Rondo got fouled hard a couple of times
-Paul was the ony positive thing for a big part of the game
-Ray took bad shots, but I think Ray's performance depends on Rondo's night
-Refs took the game early on, that dunk by Howard after hiting Paul in the letters,a picture perfect offensive faul, was a preview of what was to come, then they overreacted by throwing Perk out, so they compensated a bit(whitch was only posible by throwing out Howard, but could never happen)and failed

I don't think anyone lost confidence these last two games, but considering how beat down we are with injuries and possible suspension....we might be down on ourselves after last night's loss.

I hope it doesn't continue into the Game 6 cause we need positive energy for Game 6.

We need the Boston fans to push this old and worn down team into the Finals.

Honestly, i'm hoping the Lakers make it to the finals. It would be great to see Boston and LA in the finals again. But we really need that win in game 6.

We've lost some offensive firepower this year.

We struggle to score 100 points per game.

If there's a way we can get back Eddie, we should definitely look into it.

We need someone to score off our bench.
