The DEATH of Celtics Pride
I've been a Celtics fan for more than 55 years, and this is the first time I've been really disgusted and embarassed with them. The Celts have always stood for TEAM and HARD WORK, this team has lost that formula. Call it UBUNTU or whatever, but it is still Celtics Pride! Even when they didn't have talent they played hard. Can someone tell me the last time we got a loose ball? That's a rhetorical question because it hasn't happened laterly. In fact, I can't remember the last time they really chased down a loose ball. The Houston game, I can remember at least 4 cases where they were the closest to them and no one moved, Houston got the ball and scored 10 pts We lost that game in OT. How many other games this season would we have won if they just gave an honest effort 8-10-12! Think about it!?
This team talks about what they are doing wrong. Meeting after meeting, we hear the same damn thing, just gotta make a couple of adjustments. We need to trust our team mates! We need to rotate better on defense! We need to rebound better! What is needed is hard work and effort. QUIT TALKING!!!!!!!!!! Just play with CELTIC PRIDE!!!! Where are all the veteran leaders! Last year during the playoffs they fought, undermanned and pushed themselves to greatness in my mind. Yes they lost to Orlando, in a hard fought 7 game series, but they weren't losers.
This year they are LOSERS!!!! They've basical quit on themselves and their team. Teams aren't afraid of them, why would they. They've destroyed CELTIC PRIDE!!! Next year it's the LOTTERY!!!!
Big Man Search
The injury to KG definitely killed our title hopes. PP and Ray had to work overtime to save home court advantage and wore out after the long series with Chicago and another 7 game series with Orlando.
I know the guy is a jerk - a big jerk at times, but I'd like to see Danny and Doc check out Rasheed Wallace. He would have to take a backup role, play for the MLE and not be s disruptive influence. But the guy can play. He would provide a big upgrade to the second unit. If Perk or KG is out or in foul trouble he can step in. He can play inside and outside. He also provides a shot blocker and gives the team more length which we were lacking. He can open things up by playing outside or he can play in the post and command a double team opening things up for the outside shooters, expecially Ray and Eddie.
I don't really see BBD coming back unless he takes a 3 yr $8-9M and even that might be too much. However, I see Leon coming back.
The other guy I think Danny might try to get is Robert Swift. He's liked him for quite a while and he's a free agent this off season.
Also with the expiring contracts we have, I think Danny might try to get Andre Nocione. Maybe a sign and trade with BBD and Scal or TA. I don't think Sacto likes Nocione's contract and would like to trim payroll, at least that's what I've read.
Those are my thoughts!!! I'm sure some people will be vehmently opposed to Wallace and I can understand that too.
