This Boston team is good. I saw it when they played the Bucks. Was actually thinking the better matchup for us would have been the Bucks without Middleton.

Butler needs to be traded now before we are stuck paying him the max in 2,3 years.

Looking at our contract situation now is comical.....Jimmy ain't getting any younger, Lowry is terrible, and Bam doesn't look at the basket when guarded by length (the way he becomes a beta cuck when he goes up against Embiid, Jokic, Williams , etc....is infuriating)....straight up b***ch s**t.

We played with no legit backup 4 option behind Tucker almost the whole season. They got suckered into thinking 6’5 Martin was a legit option at the 4.

“They” being literally only Spoelstra and the front office - that was (Please Use More Appropriate Word) even by Spo’s small ball standards

Replace PJ with Myles Turner and you gonna get the same result. Everyone just blaming small ball in every loss when its clearly not the issue.
Issue is 3 players on big contracts. Two of them have massively underperformed offensively. And one of them has been ineffective the last 3 games, likely due to injury.
In terms of size, we have tons more offensive boards. Horfod had a decent game but he and Robert Williams are not killing us in the paint. So I don't understand where the small ball is the problem today

Martin isn’t a 4, not sure what anything else you posted has to do with what I said

Bro.. Lowry was like 5 feet short.

The fact that Bam made that mini-run infuriates me beyond measure. Its just stat padding. Do that when it matters. The guy is a alpha one game and a beta for 6.

We were going to get destroyed without any lube by the Warriors anyways

He wants to play with Butler, offer everything to make it happen.

This entire team needs to be unloaded. WE NEED SCORERS.

No dude we have to trade Bam

Bring Embiid Jokic Luka Giannis or KD back and sure

I was rooting for the Bucks.

Much better matchup for Mia

I’d take Embiid with half a face and no thumbs.

Dame and Mitchell not available. Our best bet is a Malcom Brodgen type move if Duncan and first can get us that.

Lol this is an overreaction. This team has overachieved. No one expected a ECF finals appearance. They just hit their ceiling. Now the FO need to figure how to get elite talent. And everyone is on the table in terms of trade maybe except for Butler. Even Butler, I might be willing for the right player

Only plus on this is they are letting Jimmy end this season with lowery on the court.

There should be no issues when Miami blows this up

If that’s real, Bam and Herro for Embiid
