Reality

Number One: Hmmm, if I remember correctly we had problems with young athletic teams during the season. Orlando, Philly, Hornets, etc., so why should the playoffs be any different. If you ask me why is Tony Allen sitting on the bench when he is one of the best athletes we have and is a good defender, not to mention that he takes the ball to the rim and gets to the line. The way Ray is playing are you saying that Tony should be sitting where he is and not getting any time.

Number Two: When you give a good young team confidense in any series they can come back and hurt you. The killer instinct has left the team and stayed in Boston. Time to rethink what you set out to do in the beginning of the year and throughout the season, don't lose that focus now. Remember, you haven't done anything yet, and still haven't.

Number Three: Not only have the Big Three been missing, but so hasn't the rest of the guys. There is too much passing the buck here. Rondo, Perk, Powe, and the rest of the guys need to step up right along with Pierce, Ray, and Garnett. Start playing like veterans do or get labeled as being soft and uncapable of winning anything. ( Pierce, Ray, Garnett )

Number Four: Reality suggests that we win game 7 and move on to the next series, but to be successful you better learn from your mistakes pretty quick. If you lose game 7 at home to the Hawks, it will be a long off season with all your doughts resurfising about being championship material, and someone's head is going to role if the owners lose money for stupidity.
