Period, point blank, end of story.

Threads about anything else (coaching, offensive execution, heart, and whatever else you want to say) are nothing more than a waste of time.

Agreed.  Could be a huge offseason for us.

And then I look at the Rockets and felt a sigh of relief.

We were injured, but smaller and weaker teams tend to get injured.

Please...let's not make excuses man. We just need to accept that the season is over, and hope for improvement

In the NBA. It's the size of the dog, not the fight in the dog

I agree 100%. I'm so proud of this team. Just look at the roster. So little skill on our team. We have a bunch of role players who can't shoot but they can be pieces of contending teams. Hopefully we can put one together this off-season.

All the more reason to be optimistic.

We are clearly outmatched in talent, but we gave them 2 loses despite of it. Who knows what we could achieve when we finally get even on the talent level?

Once again it has been proven that there is a big difference between regular season and playoffs.  The present roster wasn't going anywhere in the post season. 

Some players had injury excuses - others proved that they're expendable.  The league right now really penalizes below average outside shooters.  We've got too many of those.  But improving your offense could hurt your defense so Danny's got some hard decisions ahead of him.

we have a great supporting cast and are one of the best coached teams

we just need 2 stars to play with thomas

we got 3 picks so hopefully we draft some high talent or make a move

looking forward to the draft

I'm looking forward to the trades myself. I don't imagine we'll be making many of our picks - at least the significant ones anyway. We have a bunch of guys entering their prime, no way Ainge brings in a bunch of rookies with no significant upgrades.

I was impressed that the series went to 6. My prediction was Hawks in 5.

Good effort from the team but we need another player to kick it up a notch once the postseason starts. This offseason will be interesting.
