There has been a lot of talk followed by the same results When do we give upon this team? With a team this talented, I would say when they lose (or win) their final game. There are too many things that have gone wrong to keep happening. Garnett can't get worse, but he can get better, right? Trades are in the air. We'll see. Keep the faith. Hey Mev,

There are too many things that have gone wrong to keep happening.

Garnett can’t get worse, but he can get better, right?

Trades are in the air. We’ll see.

Keep the faith.

This is the STUPIDEST team I have seen in my life. To think we have veterans with championship experience, yet they play like MORONS. That fourth quarter was a comedy of errors. The dumbest turnovers you ever will see, and absolute matador defense on Collisoon which gave he Hornets a 7 point lead they never relinquished. I need to follow my own advice and stop watching this team. I have never been so frustrated with a sports team in all my life. At least a few years ago I knew we would be bad -- but this group has a resume that says they are good, but play the worst basketball I have ever seen from a group of experienced veterans. Even the Hornet announcer asked rhetorically how we could possibly compete for a Championship after we missed our 8th consecutive free-throw (and we rank 19th in the league in FT shooting, as well as 29th in rebounding). How in the world do we almost exactly repeat what happened this Sunday -- and against a team missing its only superstar? The Lakers can win 3 in a row without Kobe and Bynum, but we fall apart if not everyone is 100% healthy? We are a JOKE! I never thought this team would fall apart so quickly, but they have. The only hope is a very faint one, based on a belief that these guys may someday start to play the way they used to, but I have seen ZERO sign of that. They just go from bad, to worst, to absolutely miserable. Exactly when do we give up on this team? I am seriously starting to wonder if it is time to throw in the towel. I'm not quite there yet, but if they keep playing this poorly it won't be long. I am so sick of them saying all the right things after games but nothing ever changing. What good did it do for the players to line up at Doc's door if they still do nothing right on the court? I hope each and every one of the players has an absolutely miserable all-star break and re-thinks how to play the game. If not, this season is lost and it will be time to take a wrecking ball to this team. As bad a loss as we had to Orlando, I just saw a worse one tonight vs the CP3-less Hornets.
