Huge win by the Lakers in Boston. Wow. I forget sometimes how much fun it is to watch competitive basketball. Rondo was amazing.

Has he really been that bad?

If Briggy creates the 31st NBA team...Kaminsky and Thon Maker would start every game

No worries, we have Dennis Smith I am too good to be benched Jr.


were they really trying to trade a guy they publicly said they would waive.

that's like a cars salesmen telling a potential buyer, the transmission is about to go on this bad boy

In this case the whole league already knew. That Kanter can only score and rebound and there it ends. Teams would only offer us garbage for him.

Rondo can play. A bit of a head case but he's all business on the court-- ultra competitive. Was glad he hit the game winner

Always a funny exchange between those two.
Maybe they can be united if Robin is bought out.

He is going to be a UFA, we should definitely try to grey him to pair up with whatever big name in e FA we sign (assuming we sign front court players)

Team 1 2 3 4 F
James 48 48 48 48 192
Antetokounmpo 39 39 43 33 154

Celts up 28, lose to the Clippers by 11.

Sixer put 143 on the board vs the Lakers...Their 1st 5 is loaded and their bench is better than most think...The trade has not only made them more talented, but has energized the roster. They are primed to come out the east this year.

That team was pegged as the Eastern conference favorites coming into the season but something is off with them...Fans accusing the Celts of selfish/individual play, especially from Rozier, Brown and Morris. When is Brad "The coaching genius" Stevens going to take some blame?

Issue definitely seems to be players not liking each other- get the impression Tatum, Rozier and Brown probably felt they did just fine without Kyrie, so when he returned and Brown and Rozier's play slumped they probably blamed him, then when he called them out, that probably added to their frustrations. I originally thought that meant Kyrie would walk (he seems to dislike the young guys), but if the Celtics trade the young guys for AD, that kills two birds with one stone.

something to keep in mind. He didn't like playing with Lebron either: grass is always greener...

He has a history of taking it. Google it.
But Then what. Should he quit? Fire himself? Assuming "any coach is better than this....."?
Ainge built this thing? Is it just this year? Does the fix include trades in off season?
Kyrie and Horford are FA's. Blame might identify but rarely fixes.

Lin bought out by the hawks and is joining the craptors, excellent move for them and good insurance in case Lowrys back breaks down

Calling this "Insurance" is like calling Wendy's a high end restaurant.

Just kidding. Think Lin will take the Raptors to the same heights he took Houston, Lakers, Hornets, Nets and Hawks.

Only reason he was brought in is because VanVleet is out 3 weeks. May be waived after that.

Agree, he is another good threat from three that will keep defenses from helping on the Freak.

Lowry has also had low back issues, right? Feel like it's insurance for everyone
