At the beginning of this season, I never in my wildest dreams imagined we would lose by 29 to the Clippers, 18 to the Warriors, and 22 to the KINGS... IN A ROW.

I am truly in shock at what I have seen, and wholeheartedly disappointed in Danny, Doc, and every player save for Jared Sullinger.

I am losing faith that we will ever bounce back. We look so out of sync, so mentally lost, so confused, and so unconfident that I don't think they have any more faith than I do.

THIS is the game that has made me accept that this is as good as a rebuilding year. If they do somehow magically become competitive, then great, but I'm not holding my breath.

If anyone here has some reason for me to keep the faith, please share it. I don't want to sound like a buzzkill, but we never looked THIS bad last season. So nobody give me the "we were 15-17 last year" excuse.

Yeah, I'm usually an optimist when I come on here, but I've got nothing.

Total lack of will lately, very disconcerting

I am an optimist as well but there is nothing to be proud about this team.

  • Everyone's excited for the new era.
I think the saddest part is it looks like they don't care.  Even the "Rondo standing up for KG" thing has become forgotten.

It's really frustrating watching a bunch of guys getting paid to play ball not putting in effort.  I can spend my time doing things more productive.

Sully is trying but he's too small and slow. He is a solid offensive player but his D is laugh out loud bad

The problems go beyond getting blowout by a bad Kings team. Team looks like they are starting to quit.

I rather have Perkins, Baby, Tony, and Ray right now than Bass, Green, Terry, and Lee. Am I alone here?  :-\

I think we should keep Bradley and Sullinger, then get rid of everybody else on this team. KG might as well retire(why should he stick around?) and Pierce can leave to a contender. The next 5 years will suck...

Honestly, I love Rondo but if we gonna get high draft picks and good players in return, we have to trade him.

I do not find it hard to keep the faith. The Celtics are the finest franchise in the NBA historically. The problem is history does not score buckets or shut down lanes.

The Celtics have talent - we know that. Maybe this is all we get this year - a bad basketball team. But it doesn't make sense to me. Something has to happen to tip the scales the other way and I believe it will.

Championship? Hardly. I am not even considering a championship. One game at a time, I will be watching. This team can turn it around, but they absolutely cannot flip any switches this time. If Danny does not make a move for someone like Cousins, it is going to be tough to handle this season, but handle it I will and you should too.

It is easy to love your team when they are winning - these are the times that test your loyalty. Also the fact I have a bunch of old games recorded from the 60s-80s helps...I can pop one in after a night like this and feel better :)

The Kings would be NUTS to trade Cousins. Absolutely NUTS.

the clippers are the best team in the league by win/lose. Why are you shocked about that?

What a sport's night for me!! :'(

I just probably witnessed the ending of the career of one of the nicest and classiest (yet most hated, for whatever reason) quarterbacks in the NFL, Tony Romo.

My heart aches for him.  I supported him and stood by him and knew he could and would prove all his doubters wrong.  Well, I guess my faith was misplaced!!!  Good guys don't always win:-((  I do love RGIII though!!

Then I went online and got to see that we showed absolutely NO fight vs. the 27 ranked team in the league.  I think we are witnessing the end of an era in Boston.

Sad night!!!
