Poll: What is the underlying problem/concern with this team?

[coco]

One way or the other, most of the problems conerning our play this season would probably fall within one of the areas described above. 

Personally, I think there is a lack of hunger - totally unrelated to injuries - that is prevalent in almost every game we play. 

What's your take?   

[Who]

(1) Injuries
(2) Decline of each member of the Big Three

[Onslaught]

1. Injury's
2. Age
3. Same problem as last year, a weaker bench then our Championship year.
4. Other teams have got better

I think it is a combination of injuries (age plays a role in the injuries, but it is not the direct reason for the decline IMO), and attitude.

This team still is good enough to win a championship. However, those two problems all came together at the same time in the last couple of months to knock this team down a couple notches.  Now that they have recovered a bit from the injuries, and they seem to have regained a bit of focus, they are getting back on track.  However, those are the two things that could derail them in the playoffs.  If they are not healthy, they simply don't have a chance, and if they do not have complete focus, they don't have a chance either.

This team is not too old to win.  However, because of their age, they have many more hurdles to get past if they do want to win.

Maybe is time to bring this poll up again....after Cs lackluster play of last night against the Cavs.....


I still think that the HUNGER is gone.


it hurts

Can you please add an all of the above to your poll?

[zubs]

Maybe teams are adjusting their defenses at halftime and Doc cant adjust to the changes. Case in point last night, Cavs closed the lane down on Rondo in the second half and we folded...just my opinion

[crownsy]

1. big 3's age and decline
2. rebounding (tied to decline)
3. other contending teams are younger and better.
