i am not quitting on this team....but it seems you can't point out things here without getting blasted...i am just saying what has been said all year about letting big leads slip away..it has happened with KG and without KG...I .still think they have enough talent to gut out a few of these games...

[crownsy]

only JO can find something to complain about when he dribbles the ball out of bounds 

[ManUp]

When Perk gets to go into his offense uninterrupted he's quit effective.

It's still odd to see a guy his size fading away though.

[celticinorlando]

perk has good looks tonight...just haven't dropped...hope he gets a few down the stretch

Your the one who thinks you got blasted unfairly, I agreed with you in two posts that the effort needs to be better, but if you want to compeltly dismiss the effect that lineups like the one i posted are terrible and would never happen, as well as that missing 7 rotation players and starters has nothing to do with the slump and sloppy play, then yes, im going to call you on it, because i think its foolish and doesn't reflect a grip on reality.

Its a blog, people are allowed to disgree with things you post. I still love ya orlando, i just disagree with ya (and im probley sounding more sarcastic than usual because im in a sour mood over the state of the team)

haha yeah.  Id like to see him start taking that 18 footer more also, ive been saying that since that Houston game where he hit like 1937809084 of them.

gentlemen - injuries AND effort are the problem. These loses are ripping our blog apart!!! 

 

haha you're getting a TP... The only issue I have with what you were writing is that while calling into question the effort is fair, just keep in mind who you're calling out.

Pruitt will not get playoff minutes. Nor will Billy Walker. It's also BBD's first game back, plus the improvement when KG returns over Mikki is astronomical on the defensive end. KG has been lauded for his ability to make everyone better, and I am inclined to think KG will make Marbury and Moore better defensively the more time they have to pratice and play with him in Tommy T's defensive schemes. If KG is back, and the team's still playing this poorly, then there's a real issue. The attacks on the second unit are a little confusing, because this isn't our second unit. RR, Ray, Pierce, KG, and Perk are unit 1. That means Marbury, House, Scal, Powe, and Mikki are unit 2. Two of those guys are working on 3 practices, while two others are not playing. Eddie is, well, Eddie.

This one's not over... Like to think Doc and Co. made some adjustments and pointed some simple stuff out to shore up the D.

good lord, that can't be a foul. clean block or no call.

appreciate it bro....seeing the C's lose rips my heart out...i find myself living and dying with every possession even in march....

[celticinorlando]

can we just play house with the first unit...at least he looks for his shot...steph is passing up wide open looks defering to baby for 18 foot jumpers

[crownsy]

this lineup has to find a way to survive, even though they have zero ability to defend miami in the post.

[celticinorlando]

this situation makes me want to cry

[crownsy]

absolutly no defender to cover beasly here until perk gets his wind back.

 they are going to go into him every time and either get a good look or a open shot out of the double.

Thanks for the tp.

Rondo is probably the biggest culprit of complacency. He's made great strides this year. He's fantastic when he pushes the ball. But he'll deliberately walk the ball a lot too, or give an opponent way to much space on defense. And then gamble on D.

I really cant wait to see what we can do with a complete 1st and 2nd unit and a healthy 9 man rotation. This team will be scary. And complacency goes away when the playoffs start.

Anyway, I agree that it is unfair to judge a team so heavily leaning on its 3rd string.

[celticinorlando]

don't really know what to say...beasley/o neal is killing them in the post....no real answer...can't really match up
