2 o'clock in the morning here in Spain. I almost went to bed when we were up by 17. Now I'm awake and pi**ed off.

Life is hard sometimes   :(

Anyone else feeling confident headed into the playoffs?

I'm just glad we're not the one seed. Losing in the first round as a one seed would be mortifying.

Is Brad just riding AB to get him in shape for the playoffs?

Can't wait for the draft. This team is just embarrassing. No heart, no pride.

I don't understand why.  What happened?

This is the finesse jump shooting team CBS and Ainge has built. No exactly built for the playoffs you know.

We just have no pride in our defense anymore. The dramatic shift from the last two years to this year is just astonishing.

Really astonishing.  I think we underrate Sullinger's contribution to that.

Yes, he rebounded and took charges well.

Unlike Ko
, who looks like a bull fighter on defense.



KO is first or second on the team in charges drawn...

That just means that noone but Marcus likes to take charges.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Gave up a huge lead in the first half, now they're trailing.

I think so. I mean, he HAS to get going, otherwise we have no shot at being as competitive as we can be in the playoffs.

But if he's still off by the playoffs, I really wouldn't mind Brown starting. He gives us more length and size in the starting unit anyways, and he's playing and shooting much better than AB right now, too.

What a sloppy, listless, and overall brutal second half.

What the heck happened to them in the locker-room?  They were playing so good in the first half.

The success went to their heads. They started expecting it instead of fighting for it.
