-says they should give RWIII more minutes
-doesn't think Kyrie-Ainge conversation was anything except for possible venting from Kyrie
-thinks it's a good thing that Ainge and Irving are communicating
-says guys understand they could be dealt in AD trade, but adds extra pressure and questions in their minds

Really have to appreciate that Rondo never gave a **** about being on the trade block all that time. That’s definitely not normal lol.

Tommy also called out the younger players, implying their inability to adapt to Kyrie is on them.

No lineup change? Booo

I just want to see Tatum be more aggresive and take closer to 20 shots instead of 10.

You mean you don’t want Smart to take more shots than Kyrie and Tatum? I dunno man...

Celtics win this, with a score closer than the game.

Ignoring the drama, I think the biggest issue in terms of basketball is the lack of a strong #2 scorer.

Would like to see Kyrie averaging 25-27ppg, and Tatum averaging 18-20.

Both are good enough.

Anyone know why these national televised games tip off 15 minutes from the original time instead of the usual 10 minutes that has been going on for over a decade? Like nobody wants to listen to Jorge Sadano give a recap of the Kyrie drama..

I don’t understand why Stevens teams have done such a poor job with shot distribution. It’s been like this since the beginning. Tatum and Kyrie must take more shots.

You sure do hate late-starting NBA games until you’re a little late for the game LOL.
