My worries are that the O'Neals won't get back healthy (let's hope that's not the case), the new guys won't be ready for the playoffs because what's going on (just mentioned not to long ago), and that we're not coasting ( I don't believe this and think we're just in a funk).

I'm not even that worried about getting wins right now, though I would like to get HC over LA, but just like everyone else here, like for the C's to start playing better basketball for these next nine games.

if we're coasting, i say we quite playing any member of the Big 3 over 35 minutes, and rondo 38 minutes in any game. i think those should be the thresholds.

OP <-

Don't get me wrong i'd rather see them play hard and win all these games, but i'm just assuming they know something I don't.
I started getting really mad after all these losses, tryin to find explanations etc. After the 25 point blown lead the other night I just decided to change my expectations for the rest of the regular seasons. I really meant that as a fan I was going to try and not worry about losing any more games, as far as i'm concerned the only HCA that mattered was against the lakers and thats gone, so I just say screw it, take thier minutes down, try to win as many games as we can without killin ourselves, stay sharp enough to be ready for the playoffs and hopefully turn that switch back on.

If they decide to only play the starters for 20 minutes/game, that's fine with me, and makes some sense.

If they're going to trot the starters out there for 35 minutes only to sleepwalk through games and not play Celtic basketball, then they have no business being associated with the Boston Celtics in my book.

The playoff run last year did NOT erase three months of STEALING millions of dollars in ticket sales from Fans (most pre-paid) and then not delivering the product as advertized.  Fans pay for Celtic basketball and should be able to expect to see exactly that.

Let's just wish our team the best of luck in the play-offs no matter what seed we land...

Just like last year, I hate these last games because they are coasting. I never thought they sucked or didn't care but watching a loss to Chicago or Washington is never fun. As long as they are getting(staying) healthy, we should dominate the playoffs. Although if seeding stays the same, playing Miami (possibly without HCA) then the Bulls will be a test. But I don't have any doubts, can't wait for some real tough games where everyone gives %110.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

I think tonight proves that I was basically right. They can still turn it on when they want. Doesn't excuse some of these recent losses though. Oh well, tonight was awesome
