Why so serious?

 

I think these last couple of weeks we've all been asking the same questions: What's wrong with the Celtics? What's wrong with Rondo ? Is he hurt? Are the Big 3 mad about Perk being traded? Are we simply too old and out of gas?

Well, I have turned back the clock a bit to try and find an answer. Remember how loose these guys were during camp, and early on in the season? There was of course the Halloween video, and we had Nate dunking on Shaq. These guys were loose and very much a tight knit family. Doesn't look that way now.

All basketball-talk aside, did Danny simply break up the family too far into the season? And with Shaq's long absence, who's been providing the comic relief? Sure, we all know KG is funny, but Shaq brings that light type of witty humor that people love. So color me crazy, but did Danny sending a few of the guys to other teams and the lack of Shaq's lightheartedness throw these guys off more than we thought? I think it did-and I bet alot of you do as well. Now the question is, will this new group of teammates blend in with the others? Will they become comfortable enough to trust each other on the floor? And..will it happen in the next month..? I'd like to know what our readers think…
