Tristan Thompson to Celtics

[VanWest82]

Solid pick up. He's better than what he showed the last couple years in Cleveland.

The 'Kardashian curse"?

Haha maybe. I'd call it the 'four Finals in a row' curse. He's lucky he didn't snap his achilles. Lebron is an alien. Bet TT has a run or two left in the tank though.

When this season all over, I think this will be one of the best moves made

lol the listed starter if other than TT was never who started in those years except when TT was hurt except for in certain playoff match ups where Moz got the start etc. I would love for you to at least acknowledge the fact that often line ups are not posted correctly and so therefore its fairly easy to understand why historical records are also listed falsely. No one on that roster other than situational starts ever had the gig ahead of him and you can take that as fact , but if your argument is he wasnt listed as a starter yep he probably wasnt on whatever bs list your looking at

No line ups are not often listed incorrectly. This isn't twitter or something, these are official stats on official websites, they aren't getting something as simple as WHO STARTED THE GAME wrong several hundred times.

He wasn't not listed as the starter, he wasn't the starter, it's that simple. Feel free to find any sort of data anywhere to back up your claim that he was. And no, "I watched the games" does not count as data or proof of anything since your memory is clearly way off.

lol he was the fn starter your website data tells you he wasnt fine buts had you been actually watching the cavs which you clearly were not you would stop this troll job. who cares who was listed as the starter I have seen time and time again the lineups change due to injuries for example where it was obviously wrong as the league reports still have the same injured player in the sl
smh
I dont know what your point is but even if you could prove I was wrong which I am not he played more minutes in every single game than any other center on the roster so if you think that means he came off the bench but played against starters whatever buddy

Lol, man, you probably do since you've been debating it for pages.

My point is he wasn't the starter, pretty simple. And I already proved you were wrong, you just seem to think there's some sort of conspiracy where every site that lists box score data from 4 years worth of games happened to have the wrong player starting 200 times. It has nothing to do with injuries or league reports, it's literally entered as the 5 guys take the court minutes before the game starts.

If you'd started your argument with, he played as many minutes off the bench as some starters do you'd be right, which is the same role he's probably going to play with the Celtics.

So you admit he played against starters playing starter minutes but wasnt listed as the starter congrats you finally understand

He wasn't listed as the starter because he wasn't the starter, that's literally what your argument has been. Did he START most games, yes or no?

I'd take Baynes over Thompson all day long for the Modern NBA. I'd take Thompson in the 2000s, he just provides very little and has an aging game.

Then it's obvious you haven't seen him play enough. He's a walking double double that gobbles up offensive rebounds and can switch out on defense. Many fans haven't really watched Tristan play and it shows in this thread.

Baynes is roughly twice the player Tristian is.

Then why didn't Ainge get him? He got less money than Tristan did. Like I said, many of you don't really know what Tristan does and it shows in this thread.

Because he wanted to start, but TT knows he sucks so he's fine with being Theis' backup.
