Look, I'll always be with the team, but I am as frustrated about the last week or so as the next fan.
The reports from some here on the blog claim that perhaps Paul and KG did NOT prepare physically for a season...that would be a shocker to me, but there does seem to be
some credence to it.
I know that Paul's heel, unfortunately, did not help him getting back into game shape. But it happened, so he has to take each game one at a time and get himself back into game shape.
As I look around the league, I look at Kobe and Duncan. They both appear to be having good seasons - especially Kobe. Kobe Bean Bryant is tearing up the league.
Kobe's streak won't last much longer, and he (and LA) will soon come crashing back down to earth once they remember that perhaps their most important player now plays for Dallas.
And there is trouble in MIA...they've lost three in a row, too - and it is not looking good for DWade here:

This is, and will be, a long season - not only for Boston, but for every other contender out there. I still think this team will get it together and be there at the end.
But I think we have to remember as fans that every team will go through a rough spot this season...it just so happens that ours is happening right now.
As tough as it is to forget about last night, I myself am moving on. We have Indy tonight, and then Perkins and Co. comes to town on Monday. Let's get through January, get Paul and KG back in shape, and see where we are at come mid-late Febuary.
