Magic beat the Rockets. Celtics beat us at home twice. All of a sudden we don't look like a playoff team. Clifford got his 3 year extension, lots of cap space on the horizon, Cody busting, Biz and Vonleh shipped out, PJ busting. Is Cho's job safe? If we miss he's out in my opinion and he can take al, Marvin, Brian Roberts and pj with him at the very least.

bad games from both our pg 4 to each....Kaminsky should start and cody should plant his bustin ass on the bench.

because he is one of the teams closers and arguably the face of the team.

i really could care less about face of the team, especially when he is one of the biggest reasons for the loss. It was glaringly obvious by mid 2nd quarter that this was going to be another stinker for kemba...yet cliff still rode him out. If you suk then sit on the bench and let the dude whos playing better than you run the show. Batum played better, and even though lins shots weren't falling, he also played better. We needed big bodies on the floor, batum, zeller, frank, lamb and lin

Because he's a closer and the go-to guy. And Lin wasn't exactly having a great game. Only guy with a great game tonight was Frank, and maybe then Lamb who did some good things offensively.

If Frank starts, it's not at center. He'd replace Marvin which I think he should do.

Something is off. You usually have a little drop off after winning four or five in a row but we have hit rock bottom and fast.

My thoughts exactly!

It's time to back up and punt. Hire a competent general manager before the draft and hope to hit a home run on one last top 10 pick unlike Cho with his safe busting picks.

Bradley is a good, heady player. Knows when his team needed a score and delivered. Our guard play was pretty pathetic. I thought Lamb was doing well until he lost the rookie on D. Can't put the loss on PJ this game, need a new scapegoat.

Kaminsky played really well. Deserved that heat check three at the end.

This was one of the worse games Lin has played recently. Neither Lin nor Kemba played great. Both are closers so they both closed. They just couldn't get it going. When the team is on the floor they need to execute and putting up a bunch of 3s rather than trying to make plays doesn't get the job done. And they didn't get stops. Boston after the run settled back down and kept increased their lead after we brought it down to 6. The game loss is not on Kemba.

I just don't think we're that good to be honest. Improved from last year, but so is everyone else. If we had MKG it'd be a different story.

Lamb was aggressive on offense and scoring but it was like he got lost every time on defense.

This is team loss, no need to blame someone, no more scapegoat. We just suck, period.

this wasn't nearly as bad as the orlando game. team is young with a lot of new pieces, bad stretches are going to happen

its not the end of the world
