Celtics (54-23) at Bulls (57-20) 4/7

The worst part about these threads is how transparent some people's agendas are. Really? So we are losing this game this way because of Jeff Green?

And it would be incredibly helpful if all those spreading rumors about how Green is unhappy, wanting out, etc etc at least present a source.

Transparent agenda? Give me a [dang] break. Jeff Green is one of the MANY problems this team has. Are we not allowed to discuss Jeff Green?? The man we traded our starting center for??

[KungPoweChicken]

Hopefully rondo will be out of town in the off-season. I'd love to get Steph Curry for him, but I doubt Rondo has that kind of value.

[PosImpos]

So when exactly did Doc give up on the game?  I didn't watch the fourth quarter.

i put this game square on pauk pierce. his lazy defense on deng and his unwillingness to get to the basket. he looked lazy tonight

[Kuberski33]

ne expand on that? I hadn't heard that rumour.

I'm starting to think that Green's not a guy you can win with.  A guy with his supposed talent shouldn't be looking to 'fit in'.  He should be looking to figure out what he can add to the team to make it better.

I don't think it's an "agenda" necessarily.  People are frustrated.  Thus, pointed statements made about Green, Rondo, Ray, Pierce, etc.  A lot of folks are looking for an explanation for this poor play, and there are a lot of possible targets right now.

I hate living in Los Angeles more when we lose games like this....  

Trust me, it's worse here in Boston cause you have to listen to everyone talk about it--you think guys on this board are negative and sound like haters, imagine it on all the local sports shows, talk radio, work, the gym, the bar...There's a lot of Boston fans who'd boo God if he put on Celtic uniform and blew a lay up.

Immediately after this game, I will see nothing but messages from Laker fans talking about how bad we suck, the trade was the stupidest idea ever, Rondo is a punk, blah blah blah. Something I really don't want to deal with.  

[PosImpos]

Well, at least the Celtics will be fun to watch for one round in the playoffs, maybe entertaining in the second.

Exactly.  Green is a non-impact player

Discuss him? Sure. Single him out as the cause for this loss while also circulating wildly unsubstantiated rumors about what he thinks and how he has affected team chemistry? That's an agenda.

[celticinorlando]

green isn't celtics material. he is too quiet and reserved. they need guys that have fire. he lacks it big time.

danny made the trade to eliminate payroll and it cost the Cs a nba title.

I get the impression before long the source for this will be people's vague memories of hearing it from each other. 

Crappy game, no other way to put it.  Bulls were more up for the game than we were, and Rose played exceptionally well even for him.  But we played very poorly and were still in it til the 4th, when we collapsed.  They were the better team tonight, and they deserved to win.

I'm looking forward to seeing this team in the playoffs, if they get past Orlando.  Should be a battle.

To be fair there's a lot of non-impact players on the Celtics right now. Like maybe 15 of them and a coach and a GM

Well, I guess Lakers fans aren't *total* morons.

Neither green nor krstic are celtics type players
