1 player who can handle the ball, no slashers, and 0 post players.  Is it really a surprise that they can't score?

Everyone settles for jump shots and when they don't, they embarrass themselves by turning it over or getting blocked.

This team has no chance at being competitive unless Rondo can play 48mpg.  :'(

I thought JO did one of the best impersonations of a statue tonight that I have ever seen. Gotta give him credit for that.

This team has . . . one All-Star and a bunch of pretty-decent-at-best role players.

In other words, they're a lottery squad.

I think it's time to put this team down.  Unless they luck into a starting center (Chris Kaman buyout or something), and get a couple key role players (Wilson Chandler and Kirilenko both agree to play in boston for the vet minimum), this team isn't going to win anything.  In other words... this team isn't going to win anything.

Teams we have beat:
Detroit:  (3-11) bottom of their Division
Washington: (2-12) bottom of their division
Washington again
New Jersey: (4-11) tied for the bottom of their division
Toronto without best player: (4-11) tied for the bottom of their division

Rondo or no Rondo.  We don't have the talent.  Blow her up, try to get 1st rounders and expiring contracts for the big 3, and lets tank for a top pick.  

Seeing this team struggle through this year, make it to the playoffs and get beaten in the early rounds (in what I suspect would be a hard-fought loss) just isn't worth it to me.  I'd rather set this team up to win for the next 15 years than watch this team lose as an 8th seed.  

As-is, this is the least interested I've been in watching this team in over a decade.  I don't even make mental notes of when the game starts.  I remembered mid-way through the 2nd quarter... turned it on... got bored and missed the entire 4th quarter.  I've never been so disinterested in a Celtic team.

....no legs! Or I take it back. The only ones with legs are sitting on the bench.
....no backup PG
....no rebounding
....nobody that can create their own offense
....limited D
....aside from Rondo limited athleticism

I'd be down for the tanking for a lottery pick idea.

Very deep draft. Trade the Little Three and pray for a top 5 pick

I'm on board.  I'm officially in full-blown 2007 "Tank it" mode.  This team sucks.

yes and thank god we didn't sign David West to a 3 year deal eating up precious cap space on a rebuilding team . West has looked like a shell of his former self .

If the C's can get anything of worth for Ray Ainge needs to go ahead and do it. This team may improve but not enough to get out of the first round.

This is the worse kind of team to watch. No young talent just a bunch of old players and journeymen.

I predicted this situation last year, they were looking bad the last games of the season.... but I'm over it ...time to draft , make smart moves and let the three go so we got some serious money to spend.

We need new blood at every postion and a good backup pg.

Not even CP3 could have saved won all these horrible games we lost .

Yea. Can you imagine the unjust heat Ainge would be getting right now if a trade went through?

this team needs to get younger and i mean quickly.

rondo needs a group of guys that will run with him on fast breaks,players that are more active on defense & offense.a better center sorry this is not that team.

danny biggest mistake would be to keep things like this.
