Celtics best center tonight was Tacko Fall. This tells you all you need to know about the 2020-2021 Boston Celtics

Anyone else defending Ainge now?? Actually Ernest might... captain kool aid he is, after all!

The question is Brown who he's been the last month or is he who he was the first month. Probably somewhere in between.

Let's get the highest value now for him. I wanted Beal but that's only if you can get rid of Kemba for AL or something. But now I'd do it for Kat if he's available

Kornet should have at least 10 attempts from 3 in this game

Don’t worry Ainge has another 6’2” guy coming with the 15th pick this draft

So much better team the sixers are. They pass, know their personnel. And got freakin shooting.

I'm surprised we don't use him more. That guy has got a pretty sweet shot on him!

1st round exit is a very real possibility. Didn't expect that after coming off an ECF appearance.

Anyone on this board still gonna spout that "I'm not afraid of these Sixers, we'll kill them in the playoffs" bullsh*t? It's pretty clear they're way better than us, their defense is amazing and they have the MVP. Stop with the fake bravado already.

Maybe Fournier would have helped keep the ball moving more if he played. The Jays and Kemba really have terrible facilitating skills and decision-making. Smart has his moments, but he played way too loose tonight which is something you can't do against the league's top defense.

Their two superstars are overrated; they just have a brilliant coach!

Are you all entertained? Is this working for you? Where are the excuses ?

As his parting gift Ainge should order Brad to tank... but he won't. This team is gonna be treadmill for a LONG time.

This team makes me miss watching the Celtics of old when Erick Strickland would take a charge, hit a 3, Pierce goes to the rim getting them in foul trouble, Toine would add a 3 and a running baby hook and Battie would cement the comeback with a big time block. Ahh the memories of tough Celtics basketball to drown out this soft garbage...

In the last 7 Drafts Ainge has selected Nesmith, Romeo, Rob, Tatum, Brown, Rozier, and Smart. Miss me with that ****. You're mad because he took Carsen Edwards/Tremont Waters with late firsts/second rounders? Go through like every Draft ever. Most late picks don't amount to anything

Return to Boston Celtics
