This is just like last year.  I turn it on for a few minutes and can't stand it.  Rondo is not playing at that frenetic pace and caving the defense in.  Peirce is not driving to the hole and settling for jump shots.  When he does drive he looks slow and makes stupid turnovers.

If this team is going to win it's up for those two to sacrifice their bodies and take it to the hole with reckless abandon.  I think this time of year they get soft because their trying to get their bodies well so they can do just this in the playoffs.  Let's just hope.

I can't say I disagree looking at the boxscore and their matchups Deng and Rose just absolutely killed us.

Too many times last night Rondo was pushing up the floor and he didn't have ANYONE filling lanes.  Green did a nice job of it and Pierce at times.  A lot of guys didn't seem to give max effort.  Since we lost that game I REALLY want davis, kg and ray to get a game off.  Four games left those 3 and PP get a game off
says me  >:(

 The only times Rondo was up the court without anyone else was when he was cherry picking and letting everyone else play defense.  Seriously, Rose absolutley exposed Rondo's total lack of man defense all night long. Pierce's first two fouls (ticky-tac at best and very early in the first quarter) were trying to stop Rose after Rondo gave his usual half-hearted try and then stood there. He never picks up a teammates defensive assignment, never.  How can you play team defense with just four players rotating?????  This just drives me nuts that he never gets called on this by anyone.  Then he wants to have a talk with the Coach?   ::)
