Celtics play hard with swag. We have swag during warmups and try once we're down 20.
SVG has to be worried about a core that plays this way. It starts with Dre

I am terrified of a core that starts with Dre. You can't win with him.

Why does it start with Dre? He wasnt the one bricking 3's over and over and over all game instead of attacking the basket. I thought Dre playing good tonight but someone on this team needs to step up and be the leader.

I can't stand Evan Turner or Marcus Smart.

While I'm at it, I can't stand Kevin Seraphin, Ramon Sessions, Rodney Hood, Pau Gasol, Mario Chalmers, MATT BARNES, or Jamal Crawford either.

We need this win against New York tomorrow night, though. We're getting too close to .500.

agreed, not all game, but Dre played well and brought it defensively.

We need a leader and he is not one. Keep telling him he's the franchise and he'll say what he has to but his demeanor on the court will lead to games like this. Over and over.

celtics on a b2b and we have fresh legs. Yes there's no reason we should lose to a team we have a advantage over and we've beat before.

95% of teams best players will get in other guys face when they are slacking. Dre will never be that. We'll pay him like one and go as far as he takes us and that will never be far.

We're now the 8 seed, 1 1/2 up on the Hornets and 3 up on the Wiz. I have a nervous.

Russkopp assumes they are slacking therefore they are slacking. SVG see's teh slacking. Doesn't give a f*. Just because 95% of the league acts unprofessional and has their laundry in the air doesn't mean its not done behind close doors on our team. When has "getting into your teammates" face ever turned out positive for a team ? not exactly a trait of a leader that can't control his emotions

Oh you mean the 4th best team in the NBA on back to backs? Ok. Look, you can say you think we should've won this game and I'd agree. But to say there's NO reason we shouldn't win is just not true.

Dump Dre before he goes Larry Sanders on us. I can sense it.

Boogie...the NBAs best leader. Dre and two firsts. Wouldn't think twice.

The guy is 22. He just has to mature. He's not going to reach his prime for another 5 years! Think about how long that is... I will go from high school to college grad in that amount of time. Drummond is the youngest allstar, too. That's not a fluke. Since 22 is enough time for guys to mature and lead teams to finals with willpower now, where are they all at?

Yes, lets just dump the 22 year old beast center who any other team would trade their whole team to get. It wasnt too long ago when we had old Ben Wallace and Jason Maxiel as our starters but some people will never be happy no matter who we have.

Well actually he's staying for a long time. So for your (alleged) sanity YOU'RE probably just gonna have to leave.
