Celtics have Al Horford.....we have who?

Celtics were 21-4 without KP last season because they had Al Horford to fill in at C.

In the finals ...Horford started and played big minutes while KP came off the bench.

We don't have a center because Mitch is out and our "Al Horford" fled to OKC.

Big difference in circumstances.


Horford is old as dirt, not scared of the shelltics


With Horford as their center, we can play us some small ball.

I respect the bravado but the Celtics are not the only team we have to get through to win a championship.

We need a center


It'll take Kolek and something else for a young backup at the trading deadline.

But for now, we just have to wish that the Knicks, as an elite defensive team and Jalen-centric offensive identity, Sims will be able to muscle up and bang down low at either end of the court. Sims should catch about 3-4 lobs a game and he's super conservative with his passing, but Mical Bridges will be there to handle the ball too.

We can hang until the Christmas season. It's already October and November is right around the corner.

The Knicks knew since early July, hence the Mark Bryant hiring on July 24th. This is an easy call.

The Knicks medical group is top-notch and most likely had Mitch perform a bunch of stress-tests, suicides, speed tests, MRI, utlra-sonic whatevers and then evaluated the results.

The group then, upon Rose's request presented their findings and were told he need another month or so. The costs to pick up a low cost center was thin or the teams wanted Deuce or something and he's untouchable for these low level trades. Mark Bryant was the best big-man coach out there, and so he's here.

Our young man Sims, has been in the lab full-time for about 4 months now.

We're gonna have to roll with Sims until December. This is his time to shine, if not, then you know who you are in the NBA. I'm going to guess that he starts and plays around 15-20 minutes per game. I don't think he will close but it depends on the match.

I don't want to see Sims highlights of him scoring. He's at least as "skilled" as Mitch there :wink:

show me bounding and astounding and handling actual, real bigs, then we can talk.

So this is the starting chapter of the KAT trade, while iHart departure is the chapter zero.
Are you fans of the team or the player?

is Mitch more mobile than Gobert?

If so, KAT and Mitch can be on the floor together right?

Can someone confirm that this guy is a legit reporter? Twitter hides the ability to authorize a source by joining their site. It's really asinine, and I can't wait until reporters can find a better medium.

Sims and/or Precious. Precious was ahead of Sims in the depth chart last year.

I'm not sure what to expect from those 2 guys this coming season, but they might be fine. I think the jury is still out though.
