Celtics 109 @ Trail Blazers 116 Post-game Notes (43-32) Godminu

[jmr07019]

We are on pace for 47-48 wins with Amir, Zeller and Jerebko playing 49 mpg combined.

Amir is genuinely good. Getting weird that people still don't see how much he helps. Jerebko's useful as well, though he has some bad ones mixed in there.

The last, idk, 10 games he has been. There were plenty of games where he stunk. 11.5 and 10 per 36 with good not great defense. He can certainly be improved upon either through trade or FA. Not sure there's anyone in the draft who would be better day 1.

The air came out of this team at the trade deadline when we didn't make any upgrades.

I predicted we would win 46-50 games this year. That was with the thinking that we would make a deadline trade to upgrade the team. Ainge made an effort but nothing got done.

I expect another first round exit this season. We just don't have the horses. Next year we will make a huge leap. Finger crossed.

The air almost never comes out of a team because there were no trades.

It's almost always because trades happened.

Not last year. This team was going no where before we traded for Thomas and Crowder. It gave the team more than a shot in the arm. It changed our entire season around.

I'm calling it now.............we beat Golden State tonight.

And KO goes off for 20 + points, heck lets say he gets a double/double while we are at it.......
