Despite my assertions that Borrego shouldn't get a pass I would say that it is very likely orders were sent from above that Batum must be started --- lest Mike Jordan be even more embarrassed by extending that ridiculous contract.

Today Batum took 2 shots, made 0.

0 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, $292,683 (today alone)

What a joke.

I'm probably in the minority but I don't think Jordan has as much input as you would think. I'm sure the only orders he gave were do what ever you have to do to make the playoffs. JB being a first year coach is / was probably nervous and just went with the vets because they're less of a risk and he thought they gave him the best chance to win. It was like any chance the young guys got this season, as soon as they made one mistake, they were banished to the bench. The overpaid vets on the other hand had nothing to worry about.

Batum was 100% Cho and it is the reason he is no longer employed.

Celtics are down 5 heading into the fourth... feels like the season might be on the line here.

And now the Celtics are down 14... might be too little too late for the Hornets.

So I take it we are out with the same record as Detroit?  Actually just found it...the Charlotte finishes 8 with the same record as Detroit and Miami we are in.  We need Detroit to lose and us win 2.

We're in but Detroit has Memphis and New York left... should be two wins.

The Celtics have just tied the game with two minutes left...

Sure...but u never know.  They have lost 10 of their last 15 games.

Thanks for nothing Boston, Jesus H Christ!  Steve Clifford is going to stick it hard to Charlotte and MJ.  And good for him.

[MillionDollarCam]

Yep... Orlando is going to clinch tonight... only one spot left (8th seed).

The Hornets will need to win out and Detroit will need to lose one of their remaining two games.

New York has quit, they are in the driver seat for Zion, they don't care.  The Memphis game is in Detroit, they likely get that one.

All the squandered games and big blown leads early in the season coming home to roost.  Fire Borrego and get us a coach with balls that will play the guys who give us the best chance to win.  Let the young hungry guys compete, not Batum who doesn't care, or Marvin and his broke ass jumper, or Cody and his small-big man deficiencies.  Goddammit I'm pissed.

[Chaos]

And you, Mitch Kupchak "we don't need to make any trades, we trust in our vets to get us to the playoffs".  Guess what asshole, since giving Bridges, Bacon, Graham, and Frank more minutes, the team has gotten off its ass and competed.  No one running this team has a damn clue.  Kemba is the only veteran I trust and he's about to break someone's bank.

[MillionDollarCam]

Not a chance Detroit loses to New York... if they beat Memphis on Tuesday we'll come up a game short.

Memphis has won 12 of their last 17 so maybe they'll get one.

[MillionDollarCam]

I decided to look at Memphis' roster to gauge their chances against Detroit... I want to vomit.

Justin Holiday, Delon Wright, Tyler Zeller, Tyler Dorsey, Ivan Rabb, Bruno Caboclo, Jevon Carter, Chander Parsons, and Julian Washburn...
