I'm just wondering, because they are not listening to his halftime rants.

There's no other excuse for this team losing to bad teams with the talent they have even without KG.

I'm really starting to think so.

only in the 2nd half.

This team stinks right now and to keep excusing these losses because KG is out is getting old. The Pistons were without three key players and they played guys like Chucky Atkins and Jonas Jerebko big minutes tonight. The Pistons are awful and they beat the Celtics. This team needs more than KG right now, but the optimists are going to continue to dream about that 18th banner. It's not coming this year.

No

But how do you know?
Teams struggle. It happens.

It doesn't mean the coach has lost the team.

There's definitely seems to be a bit of a leadership void right now, among other things.

That comes from both the coaching staff as well as the players.

I don't think so.

What can Doc do? The guys are playing lethargic out of halftime, he can give them all the best speeches and dog names he has, it doesn't make any difference.

Danny has to make a trade NOW and shake things up.  What has Eddie done all year to help this team.  He has been terrible!!  Rasheed has clearly been a disappointment.  We need to shake things up very soon.  This team as currently constructed is NOT on the same level as the Cavs and the Lakers, period.  This team right now would lose a first-round series to the Bobcats or the Bulls, no question.  

We are quickly becoming a laughingstock around the league.  What a lack of effort and passion!!  

Where did PP go in the second half?  Did he think that game was only 24 minutes tonight?

Well maybe the team's not responding because he keeps playing crazy lineups and they know it?  When the team isn't rebounding, why is Scal playing and not Shelden? Why isn't Tony getting more minutes when Ray sucks?

You can't blame it all on Doc,,there isn't a lot of talent on this bench.

Since all of the green glasses guys keep saying it does not matter if they lose all of these games, why don't thy just plan to go 41-41 this year, since none of these games matter?
