So....does our Big Four just pack it in?

Vinnie - if I understand you correctly - this team has packed it in because they are still upset about the trade?

No.  The trade has simply disrupted the team way too much. Too late and too much to overcome before the playoffs.

Well, I can't call it this early, no matter how it looks.

Just like last year - my belief stays the same, no matter what:

"Until someone beats The Boston Celtics in a Seven-Game series, they are still Contenders."

Season isn't over...no matter how frustrating tonight was.

Doc Rivers just called us selfish in the press conference something ain't right smh

I'm not sure I agree with that...if anything KG and Rondo are at times unselfish to a fault.

Now BBD on the other had is selfish most of the time...hates passing. I noticed there was a play where he had at least 18 seconds left on the shot clock but refused to pass and bricked one.

I agree with thread thought , this has been my thinking since the trade announcement.

It not that we got bad players . I like the new guys,but,  It the fact that the team is now all out of sorts.

If its NOT BROKE don't change it. Well too late now.

The team knew how to play together. They were on the same page.

We'll be no better next year , cause now we traded away part of the team chemistry .

Trading away half your winning program team at midseason is moronic. This ones on the MGMT.....THANKS ALOT DA

Why throw away a chance at a championship to make a better business deal on paper.

We're screwed now

I don't think it was the trade at all.

It is the additional players we are trying to integrate that have hurt us more. (West, Arroyo, Murphy)

Subconsciously, our starters have let their guard down thinking the "cavalry" has arrived or reinforcements are here.

And I think we have overrated our bench a little bit.

Outside of Baby and Jeff Green, our bench is still very weak.

The problem is...only three players are off our bench right now getting major minutes. Maybe Arroyo or Murphy (you know when he's healthy) will get 3 or so minutes here and there each game, but the last few games, we've really only had an 8-man rotation. I think it's worn the guys out.

That said, they still should've beaten the Bobcats. Figuring out things like these is what Doc's paid for, so I hope he does a good job.

I think we should try to trade Nenad for Rebecca Lobo and Diana Taurasi. We need some intensity and heart back.

yea his shot selection is horrible but Doc was visibly frustrated he said he was tired of trying to tell this team to be more unselfish and it was up to them if they wanna change ithe said dudes are lookin out for themselves

I'd take Maya Moore and Britney Griner over Nenad Krstic. Britney's beasty in the paint. She would probably make him cry  ::)

They had better not even think of signing this guy at the end of the season

Asking a team to integrate a new starting line-up with 10,9,8,7,6.... games left in the regular season is crazy.

And no team fears us or our interior defense anymore.

We've got three HOF scorers and an all-star PG. We didn't need a jump-shooting center who can't play defense.

WHY did we load up on 7-footers in the off-season to trade half of them away after two of them have been hurt for half the year?
