Starters were rested from last night and were playing a bad team. I don't wanna heat this crap about the 1 seed dosent matter, it does this year because the east is stacked at the top. Why can't we get a better shot than Rondo with 2 minutes left?.. All of a sudden we can barely score in the 80's now. This isn't the time to be slumping. These losses to these bad teams suck. Someone really needs to have a heart to heart with rondo. I don't like his body language. This absolutely stinks. This team is limping towards the finish line.

Seriously.  Rondo has been beyond frustrating.  I don't mind slumps as long as the player looks like he is trying, but Rondo hasn't looked like he's cared in a few weeks.

Grrr.

The offense is terrible because Rondo is playing terrible.  He's not driving or setting people up. He's just dribbling out the shot clock and bricking shots.  If he doesn't straighten up, Arroyo needs to start.

I honestly don't understand it. The whole idea of this trade was to make the offense better. Jeff Green has not impressed me at all.

Rondo sucks and is overrated. Delonte is a better overall player and he can actually hit a jumpshot.

I'm fully in favor of starting West until Rondo gets a heart. People can criticize West for whatever reason they may like, but the one thing you can't do is criticize his heart. The guy plays every game like it's his last.

Jeff Green is not what's wrong with the offense. If you hadn't noticed, the general on the court has been a lousy floor general lately.

Cant believe some people on here thought Rondo was the best player on this team, hes 4th best at most, and if Jeff Green plays to his potential hes better then Rondo also.

behind the bulls now and only 2 up on the heat. this is the part of the season where you need to be hitting your stride. 3 of the last 4 games boston has looked lost and not interested. things will need to change or boston is going to find themselves on the road vs miami and the bulls...those 2 teams seem to be getting into a groove

Maybe because some people don't make irrational decisions about players after they're going through a slump? I like to make my opinions of players looking at the whole season not three weeks.

When he is truly playing his game he is the best player on the team. The offense is a shell without him setting everyone up. I think he's tired and dealing with some kind of injury.

No he isnt. When hes playing "his" game he still is unable to hit a wide open jumpshot.

If our guys are going to insist on not closing out games until the final minutes then we can't make any mistakes (like 3sec when KG has the ball at the rim) and we can't be taking jump shots.

KG was on fire, he should have been getting the ball in the post.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

And yet this team can't function on offense without him playing well. If the Big 3 were so much better than Rondo, why would it matter?
