Lets hope!

We need him to improve in that area!


The only problem is, 2k just released his NBA 2k17 screenshot, and they finally got his mohawk hairstyle right. Now, his hair will be outdated again in the game

There's some pretty absurd stuff on the GB. The current thread questioning whether Ainge has "lost his touch", while claiming Philly has completed their rebuild is insane.

You'd think that would be "baiting" sheesh. Shoutout to the mods here, you guys are great.

Ironically enough I got banned based on that topic for baiting because a laker mod was saying how much pleasure he got out of the Celtics debating cutting Young or Hunter, and I told him how much pleasure I got out of Kobe leading them to 17 wins making 25m.

Apparently it's baiting if I respond, but not if a mod does it. Pretty shambolic.

True, but I ended up getting banned across all of realgm for posting:

"18 wins here we come!" in response to a Lakers mod saying it's been fun watching Ainge's "exercise in futility". Dude can't take a joke so I get punished. F that. Mods should moderate, not be pricks.

****ed up. And I just saw someone make basically the same post I did in the same thread and no suspension for him. Gimme a ****ing break.

Do you really have that big a ego that you seriously think Aigne has read your remark remark or would care if he did read it?

I knew of one incident where a mod was a prick on this board. Guy had a bad day I guess. This board's lucky to have the mods we have, plus the participation in this board is one of the 3-5 best in all of real GM.

I'm confused. What does any of what he said have anything to do with ego and a belief that Ainge would read that? Maybe there is, but I'm missing it.

Do you really have that low of an IQ that you seriously think I thought that?

The whole point was that it was just a stupid little joke that I thought would be taken as such, but somehow someone got offended by it to the point that they reported me for it.

Sucks when the shoe is on the other foot doesn't it? At least I didn't get a ban from the trade board. Makes you appreciate the fine work the Celtics forum mods do though

Not sure what you mean about the shoe on the other foot, I've never actually reported someone (don't see the point really other than to annoy them I guess), but it definitely does make you appreciate the good interactions you have with mods.

The mods on this board really do deserve praise. They do a great job. It's a thankless job for the most part, so those who do it and don't abuse their power deserve some credit.

Some bottom of the barrel Internet tumors:

Nets could trade Brook Lopez, maybe to Portland or Milwaukee.

The Bulls like Okafor, want to get him for Taj Gibson, maybe in a 3-team deal with Gay to Philly.

Dunno where to put this but I find this **** interesting:
Read on Twitter


Spray that ball around!
"I just want to play good basketball and I think our guys just want to play good basketball," Brad Stevens said. "And I think as a result you have a lot more fun when you spray the ball the way we're spraying it around, and when you're competing together and pulling for one another and (have) five guys playing together on a string defensively." (from March 2015)

LOL at Colangelo's love of Rudy Gay. Even when he was unemployed, the guy came to do an interview for a Sacramento media outlet just to praise the guy. Not surprised that he wants to deal for him. Bryan's probably got a brand new suit and tie, ready to go for that press conference. Dude loves the cameras.

I wonder if Stevens installed something like 7 seconds or less playbook for Celtics. Not only they shared the ball but they also shoot the ball pretty quick.

Thirty days have passed since Bentil, Jackson, and Brown all signed their contracts. All our rookies are now eligible to be traded, not that I expect any of them to be.

Yeah. Trade Bentil, Young, and Holland. Either for nobody back, or Pierce.
Pierce, seems like he's going to play one more year though.
