    Realistic only as to a lesser chance it appears at this point in time. Pin a medal on yourself for powers of observation. If you want to smack others with the “Lakers Goggles” blast because we hope for some personnel improvements and for the luck every championship winning team needs to get there healthy at least for that competition in the playoffs. If you’re saying we have NO chance, with the luck of chance that’s always involved then NO I don’t accept that as we haven’t even yet most likely seen our final roster.

    And you’re not Kobe, plus he also ENJOYED THE PROCESS of getting there. Try it.

    Uh huh. Collison will hopefully help.

    But if we need more size on the perimeter with another decent wing, that avenue is gone.

    And are we so sure Rajon's mins are going to curtail with Collison coming on board?

    We might see them in the back court; politics and all...

    LOL. Where did I claim to be Kobe?

    It's about rings; and in LBJ's limited window, this is what it is...

    Sure, let's enjoy the game and the ebbs and flows that come with it, but I am damn sure going to be realistic and critical of the mistakes we have made so far...

    Did the possibility of Harkless vanish overnight, have I missed some news?

    That’s fearful above not fact. Handwringing.

    Any realistic observer knows we have two glaring holes?

    And there is 3 teams better than us; imo. But we have Philly, Milwaukee, and the Clips all at least 1 more time; let's see how we stack up.

    I was talking about the ring is the only thing fans, and with our troubles I grant you staring us in the face with what we face with wing competition, I’m honestly sorry it’s looking more and more like a wasted season for you folks.

    And I was hoping hard for Harkless when I wrote it.

    Amidst all this Rondo bashing, even from guys like Kendrick Perkins I have to say this - I still believe in the legend of "playoff Rondo". He's done this same act on 2 other teams. He is playing bad and the criticism is warranted. But I will not be surprised when Rondo swings 2 games in the 1st round of the playoffs. Just sayin'.

    He is unplayable against playoff teams. If no white knight is coming then you have to roll with Caruso and KCP getting his minutes or at least a guy like Cook

    Never thought I'd be hoping for a Dion Waiters signing

    Rondo makes you consider signing guys like Waiters.

    That's how bad he's been.

    Rondo would have taken Caruso minutes if Collison signed

    If he’s swinging in the first round, I hope it’s at CP3

    Did we finally hired a stats/analytics guy? If not, someone has to send this to Jeanie, Kurt, Vogel etc.

    Safe to say this is probably Rondo's worst stretch of his career. It can't get any worse so maybe he picks it back up. Look guys, we're stuck with him. Let's have some more confidence in him lol.
