Who's fault is it if players give up? The players? Or Coach for not pep talking?

Doesn't surprise me.

Outside Smart and IT, this team have no toughness in them. Need more players who will eat nails for breakfast, not someone who shrinks in the biggest limelight.

If we had bigs with the hearts those 2 have we would bully every1 in the league. But unfortunately we have the softest big men in the league all on 1 team. Horford had a good game 1 but game 2 he was no where to be found.. it's pretty pathetic whenever I see KO getting bodied on both ends by their point guards

I thought Horford did decent with his partner bigs being softer than a plate of Mapo Tofu (points wise it was disappointing but he did grab 11 rebounds and dish out 5 dimes)

The good news is both Yabu and Zizic looking very tough and loves contact. The bad news is they won't be here until next season. Add Josh Jackson and we will have a junkyard squad.

That is if Ainge decides to add both Yabu and Zizic. And how he drafts this summer.

Can't think of a better explanation for this series.

I think you have to throw Bradley in to that group too...

He may not be physically the strongest guy or biggest guy around, but he plays with as much heart, energy and physicality as anybody on the team.

And a lot of the forum thought he was garbage at one time.

Finesse teams rarely play tough.

When you replace finesse players with tough ones, that will change.

Seriously, what is it about KO that people hate so much? The guy was a +2 with 11/4/7 and played half of the game; some of his passes and shots were quite clutch before the game was blown open. He may not be DeAndre Jordan on the boards, but Jordan isn't exactly KO from the perimeter or from a playmaking perspective. He just needs a tougher presence down low with him.

Your post isn't super-egregious or anything, but anybody even mentioning KO after this loss has to check the biases at the door. It was the starters who got torched, not KO.

It's time for Celtic Pride to come out.   They have to get some stops and do the little things otherwise, they risk being one of the worst number one seeds ever.

I saw more than a few times that Jae wasn't giving his all.  He seemed to be "talking"a bit to teammates and some noticables of not gettting back on d.  Not sure if there is an injury to him and Amir?  When Amir got pulled first quarter Eddie was over to his seat pretty quickly.

I think that is rondo trying to kg  the team.  I don't feel the c's gave up (like lakers in finals) but they were outplayed from pretty much start to finish.
