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

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.  

Some people are under the illusion that Jeff Green is a good/great player, or a player with great potential. The truth is that Green is a nice player, a role player a championship contender. Some people are delusional that Green could be a second or third option on a championship team. He doesn't have that kind of talent.

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

I love the support of this team on this site now we cant get outta the second round now huh??? ****

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.

We don't know that yet.

Tommy just stated the problem and he has no idea he did it.

"The Bulls wanted this game more, they had something to prove...the Celtics are still trying to mesh pieces together."

Theres 5 games left in the season...we should not be still trying to mesh the team together.  The playoffs are in a week and a half.

No one is happier in the NBA than Rasual Butler. He went from bench-warming for the Clippers, to bench-warming for the Bulls. What a life.

You people are ridiculous. If you're all so confident, then put money on the bull.

This Perk chemistry thing is really absurd. HE MISSED 99% of our season.

The Bulls wanted this one more.

It sucks and a I'm as p---ed as the rest of you.

Wait until we have the Diesel back and JO playing more minutes.

I swear, as fans of the greatest franchise in sports, you all act like a bunch of people who never watched this team before.

Its sickening. Btw LA lost 3 in a row, do they suck too?

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.

Rondo psyche is too fragile. Too many times mentally he shuts down. Tonight the way he missed his first shot, it shattered his confidence. He wasn't the same all game. Why does it get to him?

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.

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. 

Can't disagree with any of that. It is what it is.

yes we do. we are counting on a 39 year old that can't go 6 minutes without getting hurt. we have a bench that does nothing and they are still trying to figure things out with a week left in the season. only 5 guys were around last year. i expect them to flip the switch..the other 7? doubtful. this team has been lost for a month and a half. i will accept that they were bored last season...but the problems are much deeper

tonight was an embarrassment. the bulls played harder and boston just watched for the most part.

Don't you get it?  Anything that's going badly right now will stay bad forever.  If you don't believe this you are just not being realistic.

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??

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.

He has affected team chemistry. Him and all the other new players brought in. FACT.

Jeff Green looks totally disinterested when playing the game. FACT. Which made me remember something I read on another forum which I clearly stated was rumor and NOT FACT. So I shared and someone said they also heard those rumors circulating. Don't like it? That's unfortunate.

Single him out? Who's done that? I will repeat myself. He is ONE of the many problems this team has right now. He was brought here to back up PP and provide offense. Our offense is as bad as it ever was. So yes when we lose Jeff Green will be brought into the discussion. Period.

I don't think they were winning it with Perk because their bench was terrible.  Consistently - since Daniels got hurt - they'd go to the bench and leads would disappear.  I think rolling the dice was probably their only option and it doesn't look like it's going to work out.  This team is too soft and only Delonte looks like he's capable of giving them anything positive off the bench in a playoff game.

Sucks but I don't think they were winning it with Perk either.

[CaliCeltics]

Think we could use our reward points to get a healthy center? Let me call peggy....

Neither green nor krstic are celtics type players

At all. Why anyone ever thought they would fit into this team I don't understand.
