I mean, it’s gonna be really tough to get a home victory in a hostile environment. Not sure if these guys are up for it
They already did it in Milwaukee last season.

I said what I said because it was literally nothing but Tatum name-calling and IMO going overboard on him. I was about to leave the thread because there was nothing else being said, but then I remembered I'm supposed to be modding. This is the playoffs, I want to discuss what's going on and not have to go through PAGES of what was being thrown around. I gotta just let it slide even if it says game thread but turns into a name-calling trade thread. It's no longer entertainment it's draining. Add that to what the team is doing and I stepped out of line. I meant no harm, just wanted people to stick to criticism instead of what was actually going down. My fault, yall don't deserve that (most of you)!
I know explaining doesn't sound like an apology but I do mean it. I'll do better.

From Bill Russell to Cowens to McHale and Parish to KG, Cs always had that quality big man in every championship run.

How? The celtics will offer it and he'll take it or he won't.
If we flame out in this series as seems inevitable, do we really want to pay JB the supermax?
Not that he's the only problem but I think the pressure will be intense to make changes if the C's blow this.

Nobody can convince me that Brogdon or White wouldn’t perform better in that role and get the ball to the two stars when it matters. Smart thinks he’s the second best player on the team and management seems to agree, so Jaylen will likely want out.

Brogdon would be the most likely to be moved. $22.5 million per years and he isn't the piece to get you over the hump. Coming off 6th man of the year his trade value will never be higher.

Just like that regular season game we lost to the Sixers when embiid dropped 50, the Sixers barely won at home without JB playing and Tatum playing like garbage. If embiid beats you so be it, but don’t let maxey, harden, Harris cook you or else it’s gonna be easy work.

But how high is it really?
I do think moving one of our $20M guards and promoting PP might be smart.
