After the loss I expected the boards to be in full meltdown and as expected we are...
So just to simply put things back into perspective... we are a rebuilding team. We contend because we are gritty and talented, we can beat anyone and lose to anyone on a given night. So if you incorrectly believed we were legitimate contenders, you need to listen to every one of the interviews with Wyc and Danny that mentioned we were two pieces away. Or you could simply listen to CBS when he mentioned that our team is not as good as our record. The organization knows exactly where they are.
As a rebuilding team naturally there are aspects that need to be addressed... we need another scorer, rebounding and rim protection. I pause here to point out the rise of Zizic and Yabu that could potentially address our rebounding issue. I also pause here to point out our top lottery odds with Fultz or an impending Griffin free agency especially if they get bounced by the Jazz both moves could potentially solve scoring issues. Other free agents such as Ibaka, Hayward, Dedmon could prove useful.
There is much more I could write but to be honest it probably won't make a difference. So resume the regularly scheduled banter about "Ainge sucking" and "we should have signed player X" arguments... but just remember all such arguments are ridiculous for a rebuilding team... we simply need to enjoy the ride and growth of our players.
