Celtics (14-15) at Kings (10-19) 12/30

[Chief]

None of the moves ainge made worked so far. This team is a disaster...they are a .500 team at best..there is no miracle...this is what they are. They suck. They are zero signs of improving and they are imploding

Defense is nonexistent. Rebounding...worst In the nba.

It all came down to Darko. Ainge only found 1 semi talented 7 footer. I thought he looked good in the preseason. Doc foolishily did not. The guy's mom gets ill and the rest is history.

Looking at the play by play, everything is either a layup or dunk for the Kings. 

For the Celtics, all jump shots.

The Kings made 11 field goals in the first quarter and 8 of them were layups or dunks.

It's unfathomable how terrible the defense is, truly sad.

This Kings team is TERRIBLE - they are dysfunctional and a complete mess.  And we got owned by them tonight.  This team sickens me, and Doc Rivers has lost his touch.  Doc has been made by his ASSISTANTS - and the current group next to him on the bench is mediocre.  Doc is a legend in his own mind, a myth created by those who sat next to him.  But he can't coach...

TP.

wow ... might just make the lottery this year.

Remember Bradley will turn it all around..we just need to get to the all star break...kings just had young legs...green's vagina was hurting tonight:..it is a make miss league...

They were positive signs in another 20 point loss...kings just had hot shooters...it is a long season...don't you remember last year? The heat only have six more wins than Boston:..

Still working on chemistry...takes like 70 games

I agree to an extent. However, defense requires a team commitment from five guys. Right now we have a (very) few commitments from individual players, but nothing from the team perspective. One guy wont fix that, whether it is Darko, Bradley, Garnett, of anyone else. Doc really needs to go back to high school team rules and just say, if you don't guard, you don't play. Even if that means going away from his minutes allotment for a significant time.

How badly do we have to tank to catch up to Washington for the #1 pick? Can any poster do some quick calculations?

I'm one of the most optimistic posters on here, lol..but even I can see something's wrong with BOS right now..

I was one too and I had to throw up the white flag and give up on being optimistic.
Something is seriously wrong to the point where I don't know where it begins.
I had a feeling deep down inside that they were going to struggle especially in the beginning of the season when they were talking about the team and chemistry.It felt forced like they were trying to force team chemistry.


The only thing making me feel better tonight is the Redskins beating the Cowboys.

I heard that. But im not losing hope.

Im saying we just hit a big slump, change is coming, especially after this. We will peak in the right time, but right niw we really need ti figure things out. We need more effort. We need Danny's magic and change something.

We'll get things together.

And no celticinorlando, I understand you really are frustrated, we all are, but no real fan should "screw" his team. We are here through thick and thin, and if youre only on board when we are winning and completlely condemn the team while we are losing, you shouldnt be here.

Wait so darko left because if lack of playing time or his mom?  Or both.  I liked darko and thought he could really help

[TerreHaute]

Doc is actually being semi-honest in the presser. He is talking about not playing hard and needing to find guys who are willing to do the job. Proof will be in the pudding.

Honestly if we lost every single game for the rest of the season the Wizards would still have the worse record. Just don't see them winning 10 games.

I think the players have been plauin hard.  I just think doc is makin things too complicated

Probably both.
