It should be a big man that can shoot the 3.


Lauri Markennan is kinda available, and our GM knows there GM..

Can't afford to get him short of Danny giving us a bigger deal than Kevin gave Danny 16 years ago. Doubt the money even works, assuming we ain't giving up the top 5, I doubt Al and draft picks would be enough.

Ainge is going to take some team for 4 firsts and two swaps or something ridiculous.


Yup, I agree. Just makes me chuckle to think of the reaction if Ainge gave him to us for three seconds and cash considerations.
Ainge might finally get his number hanging from the rafters.

Oh, I know. Just dreaming of the offence for a moment.

I do not have the words to adequately express the dislike I have for Jalen Suggs.

I’m pretty chuffed we got both the home wins against the magic.

Edit: finished the replay.

I thought PP was outstanding! Especially in the 2nd quarter. His defence on Anthony and his work under the basket were phenomenal and brought energy.

JB smokes it! Killed them in the 4th and did some great work against Paolo.

Let’s go C’s!

Weird anomaly... Every lineup Joe put out either won their stint or was even. Except for the garbage time unit (-4)... AND our starting lineup (-6).

The bit about understanding his gravity as a scorer is the biggest jump JB has made past few games imo. Changes the offensive ceiling of this team.

While we doubted he could do it, this is all we ever wanted Jaylen to do lol. Him not being the most efficient scorer just doesn’t matter as much if he’s at 21-24 ppg, and moving the ball well, scoring within the scheme, etc.

Yep, that's where I would readily admit to being wrong. I highly doubted he could do it, not in this championship window. That's why I was eager to trade him past couple of offseasons. And why I'd rather him play more offball than on. Consistency of this type of play is the next step for him. The proof of concept is there. We see what works for him AND this current iteration of the team. Even he admitted he doesn't need to score as much. Just keep playing team-oriented ball, both ends.

Joe has them playing with a warrior like mentality (not GSW, just warrior). They acted pissed off in this game.

Kind of an amazing statement for a 2nd year player. You can tell he's watching the J's to learn about their secret sauce. Very impressive player, you gotta like how he carries himself on and off the court.

Not ready to anoint Jaylen a changed man after a handful of games. Let's see how the season progresses.

But it's super positive stuff lately.

Yes, he had 6 assists, including several pretty ones. Will wonders never cease!?

I can safely say I'm the most gullible fan on earth. Can't help but agree after watching him last night...

Having Jrue and DWhite as our defensive backcourt almost feels like cheating.

Jrue was amazing in that second half, this video isn’t even showing the ball denials and where he wasn’t getting a shot up. Jrue and White are going to be a big reason we bring home 18 and beyond!!
NAME ON THE FRONT OF THE JERSEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(!)
