Amateur Hour

This is what you get from an inexperienced blogger, an incomplete post. I need to read my notes more carefully as I completely missed the section on Perk's value to this team mentally. My apologies. This is where the eye test comes in. Am I wrong to say that it just didn't look right? They gave up too many layups and putbacks on the defensive end. They consistently had players out of position and they couldnt buy a second chance bucket on the offensive end. They became timid to an extent. Their swagger was gone. The fact that players around the league applauded the trade should tell you something. They feared the Celtics when they rolled out their starIting five. This was a group with championship experience that couldn't be rattled in crunch time. At the time of the trade they were the favorite to win the NBA championship. The flipping favorite! Danny is now ruining my breakfast. His trail of ruin continues. One more point and I'll put this trade to rest. The trade killed the team chemistry. I'm not sure if any of you watched The Association on ESPN, but it did a great job showing the reaction to the trade. There was genuine shock. Doc said it was like losing a family member. Rondo was obviously disturbed by the trade (for way too long). It was a bad scene. Messing with the team's chemistry was a mistake and unnecessary. I know that Danny would do it again, but Doc said yesterday that he would NOT have done the trade during the season. It caused too much turmoil and in the end doomed the Celtics. I know there are people out there that thought this team was on borrowed time already, but they could have had a ruin them. This team was in a better place than last season and we all know how that ended. They coulda been a contender!
