I just can't believe we're losing this.

It's really sad.

It's just sad Rondo isn't even a threat to shoot out there. 

Rondo is an extremely limited offensive player.

It's kind of funny that there was a thread on the forum earlier today comparing Rondo and Nash, because while Nash has his problems he is overall a better player except when Rondo is playing out of his mind.  Nash can carry a team with his passing and his shooting, and his defensive lapses (which Rondo has too, a lot more than we like to admit) could be hidden in the right system.  Rondo is a huge liability out there a lot of the time.

Steve Nashes defense can't be hidden in any system.

I disagree.  Point guard defense is overrated in the NBA these days.  Derek Fisher is a huge liability against fast point guards at this point in his career and he is able to be hidden just fine.  Same could be said of Steve Nash if he didn't have Channing Frye and Robin Lopez backing him up.  Jason Kidd is also a large liability against fast PGs; Dallas manages just fine.

well...2 seed all but locked up after this...that is the shot we get? what a p--- poor job

[bruinsandceltics]

Rondo needs to see the bench next game.

[ejk3489]

Are you kidding me?! A Davis three?! That's the lowest % shot on the team.

[outcry]

Did Baby just take a three ball? Give it back to Rondo so he can reset. This team can be so frustrating.

[The DarkPassenger]

 

wow Davis... just wow.

[vinnie]

Nice play. What is that now, five losses in the last eight games?  This team is not ight

[PosImpos]

I just can't believe we're losing this.

It's really sad.

It's not that surprising.  We've been staring at the #2 seed for a while - pretty much since it became clear that Shaq and JO weren't coming back till the start of the playoffs.

[Rondo No Look]

Glen Davis to Rajon Rondo:

"I can one up that last shot"

[YouCantHandleTheTruth!]

3rd seed here we come.

[CelticSooner]

Bad loss. C's interior defense just stinks. They have no chance at the top seed unless they get Shaq back ASAP.

[outcry]

Wow, Gasol. Any money Rondo takes the last shot here. I'm calling it.

[fairweatherfan]

Wow, still alive by the skin of our teeth. 


Redemption time for Baby!!!


...kidding.
