Coming apart at the seams?

We are at an interesting moment right now...Pierce out, KG out, Baby out..again...two close loses to teams they "should" have beaten....Then the third loss...Disarray, confusion, lack of focus...
Which way will this team go? Is it a momentary blip?....Will this ship be righted when they get back home and possibly get all hands on deck sometime into January? or...will this degenerate into a second tier team, not a serious contender? How is this going to play out? Anyone got a reliable crystal ball?

MY CRYSTAL BALL SAYS....... FRANKIE VALLI & RAG DOLL!

112288,

I don't have a crystal ball, but I have an old disco ball from the late 70's. It says, "Wicks and Rowe, there we won't go!!!"

Keep a stiff upper lip, it is darkest just before the dawn, etc., etc.,

Last night did remind me a little of pre-KG Celtics. Always down by double digits, playing catch-up the entire game, making a couple of runs, yet always being headed off at the pass...

But what did you expect? The Phoenix Suns are playing great right now, while we are not. The Suns did lose to the Warriers in a shoot-out, then beat (quite handily) the Lakers and then go on to beat the depleted Celtics. So what?

The Clippers and Warriors losses may have proven the debate that Paul Pierce is our go-to guy and our glue guy (at this time) and we missed him greatly in close games.

Nobody told you there'd be days like these?

(John Lennon)

Everybody's talking and no one says a word
Everybody's making love and no one really cares
There's Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs
Always something happening and nothing going on
There's always something cooking and nothing in the pot
They're starving back in China so finish what you got

Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- strange days indeed

Everybody's runnin' and no one makes a move
Everyone's a winner and nothing left to lose
There's a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu
Everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground
Everybody's crying and no one makes a sound
There's a place for us in the movies you just gotta lay around

Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama

Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high
Everybody's flying and never touch the sky
There's a UFO over New York and I ain't too surprised

Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama

The power of positive thinking! We will get to the promised land, I can see it!

PS I spent half the night last night defending the Celts to people who just read the papers and don't watch games. I think they thought I was crazy, but by the end, they gave up!
