The way this team has been playing the last two games makes me feel sick in the stomach.
This is a team that is known for overcoming lack of talent by playing with heart and fire, and a team fighting for home court advantage in the playoffs...yet they look like a team that has secured the #1 seed and has nothing to play for.
Minimal ball movement, no effort at all on defence - and to make it worse the body language suggests that they don't even care...because there seems to be no signs of frustration on anybody's face.
I think Avery Bradley has been the only guy this past two games that has looked and played like somebody who wants to actually win.
I think they are content with getting swept in the playoffs. if thats the case then we should have tanked and gotten a higher draft piclk.
thats a ridiculous statement.
I would normally agree, but the way we are playing the last two days I'm starting to wonder.
I mean, what the hell is this honestly? I understand we have played three good teams, and there's a chance you lose all three games. But you still expect the team to bloomin' TRY to win.
The most disappointing guy has been Crowder. For a guy who has been our energy/passion guy all year long, he has had no defensive impact, and has been taking horrible shots (fadeaways, etc) on offence. Not sure if the injury is bothering him, but if it is take the guy out and let him rest...because the way he's playing we aren't winning this game with him on the court.
I kinda feel like Boston only cares about avoiding Toronto and Cleveland in the first round, and now that they have done that they don't care about winning...and they're just trying to avoid injury by playing carefully.
That's the only explanation I can think of, honestly.
