Celtics (19-38) at Jazz (19-36) Game #58 2/24/14

[Tr1boy]

Embiid and Olynyk as your front court duo

Would that look good?

[SHAQATTACK]

We must tank

HARDER


Play Bass 40 minutes at point guard every game from here on out.  !

actually, i think that would be hump's job.

And play AB at the five .....48 minutes

[Celtics39]

I'm not a fan of the tanking, we can win some ball games and be a respectable basketball team and still get a good pick.

sit rondo and sully rest of the year and we won't win another game unless uncle snooze catches fire and has one of his hot games.

 we are all in now for a top 5 or top 3 pick. It is what it is.

Finish with 30 wins, get the 8th best lottery odds. Get a top 10 pick in a draft that is deep, and overrated as hell at the top of the draft. Ainge said it himself that Embiid, Wiggins and Parker are not superstars. The best player in this draft may end up going 10th overall for all we know.

I'm not a fan of tanking either......just as soon and we get some decent players

The team is pretty frustrating to watch right now. Has been for awhile. Hard to watch.

This just in:  The Boston Celtics are hot garbage

Losing back-to-back-to-back games to the Lakers, Kings and Jazz is all kinds of special. 

Wiggins or bust.

This is a great road trip for the tankers. Nothing better than losing to other tankers. We're still trailing the Sixers in that department though. They lost by 20 to the bucks.

Close 2nd though.

Well we are 2-11 in the Rondo era... with our only victories coming against Philly and Orlando.

Safe to say I SEVERELY overrated the impact Rondo would make on this team.  I thought he'd improve us enough to make the playoffs.  In retrospect, I must have been drinking homer KoolAid... Rondo barely moves the needle for this ballclub.

Not Rondo's fault......like I said in a previous post, Rondo has been setting these guys up with great shots but the shooting has been horrific. I have never seen a team miss as many easy close in shots as the Celtics!!!  on top of that guys have been passing up shots because they know they're shooting like crap.

funny how the board got nervous when the C's went on a two game winning streak against the magic/76ers....this team is horrible...and our next 17games come against playoff type teams(well except the knicks. but they are better than us)

we could potentially go on an epic losing streak

This.

Rondo has done well setting up the other players but they've been horrible at finishing.  Green, Bass, Hump and Wallace have not done well at finishing when they have open shots off Rondo passes.  if those passes were going to PP, KG and Ray, there's a lot more makes and Rondo has a lot more assists.

Doesn't matter.

He's just going to keep slipping throwaway comments discrediting Rondo whenever possible.

Then after a few back and forths he'll pull the rug, saying he's a huge fan of Rondo.

That is, of course, if he decides to even engage in the first place. Most of the time, he'll just make a quick jab and leave.
