this one could get very ugly. I would rather rest CP than playing him at 70%. hammy can be a chronic problem through out the season if not well managed from the get go.

Hopefully the losing streak stops today. I know the ods are against us but once you play the game you never know.

I know we want a high seed but if CP and Blake aren't healthy in the playoffs then there is no point. I'd rather lose a top 4 seed by resting injured players and have our best shot in the playoffs.

I know the score is ugly but what's more concerning is that we are already being lazy on D and it's only the first quarter.

This team is just unwatchable without our two stars. Such a waste of 2 1/2 hours. Also, **** the NBA for scheduling games in NYE. I'm supposed to be having fun tonight but instead I have to deal with the fact that we have a 6-game skid. Can't really watch games until CP comes bacl healthy.

playing cp3 on a hamstring strain is basically asking for him to get injured in the playoffs, or even put him at risk for being out for the season if the strain turns into a major tear. so yeah resting him is the only option even if our seeding gets hurt.

You guys are worried about the seeding. Will we even make the playoffs if CP continues to be hindered by injuries? This team has totally lost their mojo. A 6-game losing streak is no **** joke.

Also, if we don't get a top 3 seed, it's probably best to drop down to 6 o 7 and avoid the 4/5 spot.

What a way to end the year......................

I keep telling myself to just wait for Blake and CP3 to be healthy. We should probably try to hold Chris out almost until Blake comes back. No point in bringing him back until he's right. It also hit me today that we're probably gonna get a crappy playoff seed.

Happy New Years guys, everyone be safe out there.

This team hasn't gotten worse. We are just without our stars. This team has been poor to average for years (without our stars). If anything, I'm hoping a long CP and Blake absence will spark one of our bench players to take it up a level (Like Felton has done lately) so when we finally regroup we will be better.

tough to watch. I was thinking last night that I am glad I did not get the league pass this year. this team is totally out of sorts. no discipline, screens, passing, defense, etc. you add in the fact that jj is having to force shots and shooting poorly,, jamal has disappeared, and you guys know how I feel about Austin. I put this on coaching. doc has won only when he had great players. ask yourself why he left the Celtics. he is just not that good. something has to happen soon. this can not continue.

Wow, I didn't even know there was a game on Saturday. Guessing I didn't miss much except an expected ass kicking? Fun times.
