That’s the question I have for the readers.

The Celtics current record predicts a 52 win season. 50+ wins used to mean something. A team that could win 50 games was one that had the potential to make some noise in the playoffs. Great franchises could be judged by how many consecutive 50+ seasons they’ve put together.

This Celtics team is not threatening to make noise or be judged a great franchise.

I don’t want to get into the numbers of games lost after leading by blah blah blah. The simple fact is, this team, right now, can not finish games. They have an embarrassing record against the league’s top 5 teams, but in all games played against those teams the Celtics have had stretches where they are clearly the superior team, just not the superior winner.

Last night the Celtics controlled the first half against the Cavs. They looked every bit like the title contender they should be. LeBron got his points, but the defense hounded the other 4 players into bad shots, forced shots and poor play.It should have been a 15 point win for the home team. Then the second half started and the Cavs had renewed focus, a better plan and a serendipitous injury to Shaq. (because he injured his thumb, Cleveland was forced to go small and quick)

I am taking a 10 game hiatus from bleeding green. I’m still going to root for my team, but I don’t care if they win or lose for the next 3 weeks. I want to take a step back and see what they are going to do about being so defeat-able.

The guys aren’t gonna get younger. They can be better conditioned, better prepared and more consistent…now who gets paid to make all those things happen??? Hmmm

Check us out this week as we weigh in on the status of our teams. Listen closely and you might hear Dave giving some praise to the Celtics.

Just like the NBA All Stars, we took a week off from our usual grind but have come back with this little gem.

Help us come up with new wager payoffs, please no one wants to hear Jp sing again.

Thanks for listening.

Hide your women and children. If you are a woman or child, I’m sorry I am being sexist and ageist (is that a word?) but after you listen to this, I suspect you won’t care about those faults.

Listen here to Jp paying his debt to Dave by singing Beck’s “Loser”.

This week’s depressing show is here for your delight.

Pistons suck.

Celtics suck too.

Is it the All Star break yet?
