Danny needs to make some changes, even if that means changing coaches. There is absolutely no passion, no intensity, too many turnovers, and just no adjustments. I mean, here we are again, continuously feeding the ball to Paul when he is clearly covered up the Grizzlies defense.
I know they have injuries right now...but for Christ's sake at least pretend like you care. There is no movement without the ball, sloppy passes, too many traveling calls...yes traveling calls, and just flat out dumb basketball. Al was scoring earlier, so it only makes sense to stop giving him the ball in the post and start giving it to him of pick and pops 20 feet from the hoop...
Danny, you need to act now, decide which direction you are going in because obviously what you have isn't working. Pierce either needs to be complemented by veterans, or trade him away for young kids. This is awful. The 4-13 Grizzlies are up by 15 points with 6:26 left to go in the game. It is time for change. This team has gotten worse each year you have managed things. Now, if it was a total youth movement, I could understand. By getting rid of Pierce and Wally there would be salary cap flexibility when it is time to get some talent to complement the youth.
I just can't stand watching Celtic basketball right now, and I have watched almost every game religiously for about 12 years now.

Grizz inbound on the side. Green guarding the inbounds pass. Gay hits a jumper from the FT line. the ball bounced off the rim and off the back and into the basket. Time out with 2.6 on the clock. West inbounds to telfair. His 3 was partially blocked by Atkins and Grizz win 98-96.
We showed some heart at the end. We can't blame this one on the youth because Pierce was a big part of the problem. He played 40 minutes. He shot 7 of 17 and turned the ball over 9 times and wasn't making good decisions on the court.

We have gotten so bad we can't beat bad teams on our own home court. This team really looks like it is headed nowhere. Seems like Rondo and Green played a big part in bringing us back ... think they should maybe play more?? Too obvious, so I won't hold my breath.
I'm trying to stay positive, but it is hard to do so.

That was one hell of a shot by Telfair. We must be the most non clutch team ever. For a franchise known for some of the most clutch performers and performances ever, this is a travesty.

i have to admit that after 20% of the season over we are heading for a top 5 pick and nothing seems to get us back on track
