I'm dissatisfied with the C - minusses right now
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The team keeps playing very sloppy, crummy error filled games and kept making stupid mistakes over and over again and coming up flat.
The coaching is horrendous and the entire team has lost confidence and has stopped trusting each other. Fundamentals of defense and rebounding have been lost. Perkins and Jefferson have lost confidence. Pierce and RD play one on five basketball. Delonte West is the only one really trying out there to keep this team together.
In a month we could be 15 games below .500 and the season could well be strategically lost.
This team has no direction right now.
Ainge has to take responsibility as much as the pathetic coaching staff.
We are 11 and 16 and I fully expect to get swept on this trip and come back to Boston 11 and 19 and on the way to NBA irrelevancy.

We can play much better than we have all season. We are capable of it, but the mindset of the team isn't in unison.
I agree that the team isn't playing like a team. And rather than sink lower, someone needs to kick them in the butt, or else Ainge needs to retool the roster and totally go with the youth movement. If we are going to be 11 - 16, I'd rather be losing while going with the young guys instead of All-Star level players and veterans who are making a lot of money.

Something is going to give soon or later either a coach change will happen or Pierce (other vets) will ask for a trade if they haven't already.

We had 21 turnovers.... Blount, Ricky, and Pierce each had 4 and Al had 3. Our vets have to take better care of the ball. These aren't even forced turnovers... they are sloppy ball handling, bad passes and just inattention to the game. On the other hand, D West only had 1 TO in 36 minutes and that is encouraging. Until we learn to take care of the ball and play defense, I expect a lot of heart breaking losses.

sadly so. so who should we draft in the top five??? IMO, best palyer available. Im guessing our roster is gonna go thru a lot of changes in the next 1-2 years, so we may as go with the best player sitting there. Unless some player really catches my eye, I wouldnt mind seeing us trade this pick drafttime for an unprotected 07 pick.

Gay, Morrison, LaMarcus, Rondo or Splitter.
Other than that I would rather trade the pick for a solid player in return i.e. Washington trade for Jamison (top 5 pick).
