The Window Has Closed

2. Rondo does get to the basket at will. But when you have two 7'1 guys waiting for you at the rim, you got to smart about it. He was afraid to take open 15-18 foot shots and drove in and settled for tough shots and didn't make **** in the 2nd half.

I guarantee you if Rondo started shooting those Js wasn't making all of them you would be complaining that he was missing too many, not driving, and not looking for his teammates. Can you just be happy with the great season they're having so far? Every team has room for improvement.

Not at all. Rondo can make those shots. He makes them in practice. He just doesn't have the confidence. Once Rondo gains that confidence, then he will have a chance at being an all-star and this team will be better for it. What I don't like now is that he is afraid to take those shots and it's hurting his game and hurt the team.

1. KG shot the ball great, going 11-14. Most of those shots were froim 20 feet out. But he never got to the line and he left Gasol alone in the final 4 minutes. Gasol took over and won the game for the Lakers. I know KG was trying to help out, but you can't leave Pau all open inside 14 feet.

3. The bench needs to play better during the regular season so that we don't have to play GPA too many minutes. They will be worn out by the playoffs. We don''t have the luxury of playing our bench too many minutes either because we are trying to keep pace with Cleveland and Orlando. Right now, our bench is hurting this team.

1. I can't understand why you would deny that KG is a gamer. Sure, they were all jumpers, but remember that clutch j he hit towards the end that said, 'this games not over.' And Gasol didn't take over, Kobe took over. He set the table for Pau, giving him two clean looks and the ball in the paint.The C's doubled up on Kobe and he found the open man; don't blame KG.

2. Rondo just missed a bunch of layups. I'm assuming (I don't catch too many Boston games) that he shoots 52% because he usually takes it to the hole and makes a freaking layup.

3. Fine, your bench is weak. Yes, it may wear out your stars. But the bench is hurting your team? The C's are 27-4 and coming off a 19 game winning streak.

I'm tired of defending this team, but do you seriously think their window has closed? Even if Boston is crippled by Rondo's failure to make 15 footer, KG isn't clutch,the bench sucks, and the C's are somehow demoted to the 8th seed, would you bet against them in a 7 game series with anybody?

Then again, would any sane person ask if the C's window has closed?

Don't be such a baby. Your team isn't perfect, but get a grip. The C's are contenders.

IMO, the window has closed for GPA. They aren't good enough anymore to get it gone by themselves. Just like a door, a window opens. It can open again real soon once we dad some pieces to this team.

Now get the **** back on the Lakers board, bitch. No one here is crying except for Faker fans after rolling through the west in the playoffs and getting their asses handed to them by us. You guys won meaningless regular season game at home. The last time we played you guys in Boston, remember what happend.

Is that really appropriate? They're not bothering anyone. They just feel differently than you do.

Yeah, it was. Read his insults first. I can talk insults from fellow Celtic fans, but not Laker fans.

You did get one thing right, The C's won't beat the Fakers this year. Bynum changes everything
