Someone needs to interview Larry Bird, or maybe not, because we know what he would say about players not giving effort and basically sucking. Once you have one weak link, (Jet, Jeff Green) disease and infectious overpayed people not giving effort because they already got paid and they can, you are toast as a team. There are a number of players on this team that bring shame to wearing the Celtic Green jersey. If I were PP, KG and Rondo I would be over it too.
I'm not sure if I've said this enough, or if you have listened, but Jeff Green and Jason Terry are single-handedly bring this team down. Get rid of them and this team gets better immediately.
I've not seen so less care and effort given be a team in my life, its shameful and embarrassing. I am at a loss as to why DA or Doc just won't do something about it now. You heard what Doc said the other day, shut up Doc and DO SOMETHING NOW!

Hit up Bird on twitter let me know what he says

No, in this particular case you lose some, you lose some, and then you lose some more.

The Celtics played HARD tonight. The effort was consistently there. We just couldn't make a basket.
Boston is primarily a jump shooting team and no one could hit outside of Rondo and Pierce.
Our defense looked really good for most of the game. If we put forth that effort and intensity consistently then we will start winning games. Eventually these guys will start making shots.

I have accepted the fact the window is closed for Pierce Garnett and Rondo for competing for a champoinship. The battle was lost by Danny Ainge trying to reload on the fly. Jason Terty - bust. Courtney Lee - bust. Darko Milicic - Complete bust Jason Collins - bust. Avery Bradley - bust so far. WILCOX bust. Basically this off season was a complete bust for the Celtics. The Celtics will battle hard get a playoff spot and lose the First round.

Couldnt have said it any better.
This is a game where they gave total effort and just fell short.

A sane team does not rely on jumpers. geezus. there are plenty ways to attack the basket. cutters, dribble drives, dishes, pick n roll. and a..yes...wait for it...wait for it......POST UP. As terrible of an offensive coach doc is i defend him tonight though. he told them to attack and they FAILED EPICALLY!

Really??
Wow....apparently we were watching two different games.
The game I saw tonight included Rondo, UNDERNEATH THE NET, passing it to Brandon Bass for an assist after Bass made a steal.
The game I also saw tonight, included a half-assed pass from Terry which Pierce didn't see coming.
Then I also saw Pierce make a very lame attempt at trying to track down the pass Rondo made to him at the very end.
The only thing to me right now more upsetting then the way the Celtics are playing or those defending them is that jackass Marv Albert accusing the city for pumping up fake crowd noise.

Sometimes, coming back to the forums after a loss and reading whiny posts like this, is more entertaining than the games themselves

Just gotta wait for the right roster move to present itself. Whether it's internal or bringing in a new team member.

How in the _____ do you label Bradley a bust?

You didn't see the team holding the Knicks to 38% shooting (28% from 3's) and hold this high powered offense to 89 points?
The effort was there, especially defensively. We made mistakes but so did NY. In the end, we xouldnt make shots and we lost. But what they did tonight was far from embarrasing.
Disappointing, yeah. Embarassing, youre way overreacting I think.

he is one of *those* that thought expected Bradley's return to end the Celtic's woes

Well, let's point out that Carmelo played really well in the 4th quarter. Also JR Smith made a big 3 and Jason Kidd came up with a steal off a Rondo turnover. Plus, Amar'e and Chandler gave the Knicks alot of size which the Celtics couldn't overcome.
Aka, the Knicks made the key plays and the Celtics didn't.

And yet with all that, we were close enough to have the game. We did fell short, im not denying it. But to not see the effort put in by this team against a clearly much better team?
Losing by 30 is embarrasing.
Losing without putting effort is embarrasing.
We lost i get that, but not without a fight. But to call the team an embarrassment, way over reacting.

I do not support this thread, but what happened to cheering for victories and not effort? This team is now 13-9 at home. AT HOME? Cheering for effort reminds me of the "good job" kid in Miami. Effort is fine, but effort and losing when you should not be losing, sucks.

The only thing embarrassing is how underachieving this team is and the little effort against so called lottery teams. Against playoff teams I've been impressed with the effort. The guys are trying to get things to click. It's a frustrating season but its better than the 18 game losing streak (see 06-07).
I'm frustrated not embarrassed.

At least the 18 game losing streak brought with it some hope for the future (Oden! Durant!)
This team won't lose 18 in a row, but it'll have streaks of 4, 5, 6 losses at a time, and I'm not likely to watch the 2-3 wins they get in between anyway. They aren't a fun team to watch, and they don't win, so what's the point?
They're unwatchable whether they win or lose, so they might as well lose at this point.
