Looks more and more like the writing is on the wall with this team.  Time for change…..

That was just pathetic. Time for a change.

In another city, with another franchise, the button pushed would be to fire the coach.

These guys out there in the green shorts are making a boring sport a lot more boring

Rondo is definitely the leader of this team because they have totally taken on his persona:  Play no D,   play hard when you feel like it, and pad your stats.  Pierce looked like he should have been in a wheel chair last night because he got torched by whoever he played.  That iso was the dumbest play I have see.  Green and the bench were playing great last night yet Rivers decided to go back to his starters which was the main reason why they lost.   

Total disappointment again. A team that should be playing so much better continues to crumble. There is too much talent on this team for it to look like this. This is happened for 3 of the last 4 years. It is time to start looking to see why this is happening. Is it the core players who been here that long? Is there something wrong in the front office (though Danny has brought in some talented players). Is there something Doc can do (he is a great coach, and typically adjusts to his team – see difference between 2007 and 2008 – but maybe he has to change, too).

This is even more dumbfounding than the Lakers.

At lest we got the Pats in the Superbowl! Oh wait..damn

So, if it were up to you, and there were willing partners for a trade, who would you trade?  In my mind, everyone is available. There isn’t much I’d protect other than maybe Avery Bradley and possibly Sullinger (because he’s a big, and he’s got a solid upside and young). I’m no big Rondo fan, and if find his game fundamentally flawed. Whether it’s terrible free throw shooting, poor defense, poor attitude or an unwillingness to shoot the ball.  At times he seems more concerned with his stat line.  Don’t get me wrong, the kid is a wealth of talent.  Perhaps the best passer in the league.  I just question how things will be with him once the KG’s and Pierce’s of the team are gone, and he is the leader. If we can get something of equal or close to equal value, then I’m all for moving him.  The team Mojo seriously needs a change. I believe this falls with the player leadership.

whats wrong with the celtics
Whats wrong with the celtics an how do you fix them.

Whats wrong is they have gotten old and wont allow the young guys to develope. KG as well as pierce play great in spurts, and thats it in spurts. They need to come to relize its time for them to come off the bench, but still finish the games. KG and Perce should both be getting about 25 min a game as they both play better in spurts, but have the experience to close out games. lately you watch them and the legs are gone when they take their shots. Front rimming alot more then yrs past. Then the question is who will you start if you sit them. First you need to see who fits the team and who isnt helping at all right now I would say terry needs to go so dosnt bass neither player fits the celtics. bass is always undersized when going against other pfs in the paint. So They need to move those two players and they dont fit a rondo offense, if you cant move rondo built around him. That means go to a fast paced offense similar to magic johnsons showtime. What players will fit that is the question, answer coming soon.

The other thing thats wrong is Rondo its his 7th yr I think but he still cant shoot free throws and thats what is killing this team at end of close games. He dosnt need to havea great shot what he needs is to be aggressive towards the rim and get to the line. Their are tons of very good Guards that are not great shooters but they consistently attack the basket and make free throws. And in the last few gams you can see it where rondo is useless and dosn attack or create for teamates due to being worried, that he would have to shoot free throws in such a timely matter. Rondo get i that gym forget the jump shoot and shoot free throws until your arm falls off. that is what is keeping you from being the best pg in the game. As far as IM concerned until you can make those free throws you are nothing more but a change of pace pg. And that is why I think you can not trade him for anything of value. He is great at everything else, But can you remember in history of nba a pg that cant shoot free throws. A pg that last min of a game can not really handle the ball due to being worried of getting fouled. that is what is causing some of these close games becoming loses. so the way to fix it dont be in these close games that take rondo out of it in the last min, or bench him in final moments. People forget that rondo was benched several times for house at the end of games that were close in theplayoffs when the celtics won the championship. But his stardom and doc not having the guts to do that now is costing team some wins.

So what do you do, all you hear is blow it up. Seriously No team wants these big contracts without taking sullinger who you cannot afford to move. The celtics just need a couple simple moves and a youth moving. start running up and down the court and get rid of the half court offense unless pierce and garnett are n the game.

SO you trade Bass for anything you can get Couple second rd picks not protected pretty much a salary dump, cut collins bring up melo cant be any worse. Now This is the one that I feel will help the celtics not a huge deal but will help in getting younger and player fits the mold to play with rondo. You trade Jason terry to HOU for Terrence jones IF you saw him in college nothing needs to be said. He is a hybrid player SF/PF but can get up and down the court. HOU dosnt use him and can use the veteran terry to guide all their young guys. Dont know if HOU would do it but dont see why they wouldnt adding a veteran like terry can make a big difference for all those young guys. The celtics might have to include a pick or so but Jones is young euff to run with rondo for yrs. and whatever picks Bass brings Back will help even if their second rounders ainge has done decent job with second rd picks.

So MY starting five would be a young fast break team with the vets finshing off the games with better def and know how.

Starters

PG- Rondo(30+min) SG- BRadley(25+min) SF- Terrence Jones(25min) PF-Jeff Green(30min+) C-Sullinger(30 min+)

This team would run up and down Green should be close to 20pts a game with rondo, jones and sullinger all getting 10 to 15pts a game Bradleys defense will help this unit and the speed and length of Green and Jones will play big part. Yes everyone will say im crazy truth is celtics need this youth movement and will stay competitive. Jones can’t even crack hou and you want him to start. yes I do Hou has too many young guys and they are all tripping over each other. Jones has been tearing up D-league and just needs a chance yes D-league you can only show your skills when you get chance.(Linn for example also HOU product) Keep in mind jones only starting to have a fresh pierce to close out games. expect jones to be about 10 pts 5 rebs and running fast beak game numbers not out of wack.
to close out the game

PG- Rondo if a close game final min needs to be pulled (Bradley)
SG-Bradley(Lee in close game)
SF-Pierce (25to 30 MIn)should still mange 15 pts 4 rebs 2 asist or so
PF-KG(25 to 30 min) should still get about 15pts 7 rebs a game
C-Sullinger

on the bench for breathers you got
PG- Barbousa
SG- Lee
PF-wilcox
c- Melo

still got room for two more guys for the bench.

Ok let everyone say how crazy this sounds and tear it apart. Truth is as Boston fans we dont want to admit the truth and accept it. We over value guys all the time as we should being fans. Either Build around rondos gifts or trade him truth is value wont be thier. Must Build around Him.
