The elephant in the room

[CelticSooner]

Hate to say it but it's this guy.



Once Rondo came back from injury the C's started resembling the team pre-Rondo injury. Standing around and not putting maximum effort on the floor. If you watched this team long enough you'll notice they tend to get bored and need a spark to getting going. The C's were getting energy off the bench from Bradley, Moore, and Sasha.

Rondo can bring that energy to get the team going but he doesn't do it enough. He plays so passive and it bogs down the whole team. If this is truly his team like everyone says it is, why doesn't he show up night in and night out?

Look at the upcoming schedule. Things really don't look good right now. C's could fall well under .500 once again.

Here we come lottery, here we come!

Looks like 2-4 over the next 6 to me.

as Ive been saying all long, this team is headed for a 7th or 8th seed and an embarassing first round exit.  ill admit that a second round berth is possible if they get the 6th seed and win a close first round series, but theyre so inconsistent that it seems unlikely.

I would not put the blame on a single players its the sum total of our situation the lookout schedule of 4 games per week with those back to backs and backs to backs et al plus our age as a team and the lack of quality and depth at the center position. also we can not overlook that other teams have been getting better as we struggled to keep the window opened. our time has passed. the window is closed for championships

Not unless they throw in a couple of unprotected 1st round picks as well.
