It’s not everything
You have JT, PP, Horford, Luke, Baylor, Walsh

Luke is probably gone, Big Al probably retired, Walsh sucks completely and is probably not going to be on the team and Baylor is raw. That’s garbage

Walsh is terrible. I disagree on Baylor though. He seems promising.

Should have traded McHale in 1985!


Sure, and maybe that would have extended their window into the 90’s. No championships from 87 to 07. smh

This is like the people who live paycheck to paycheck and think everything’s going to be ok. :lol:

My dream of landing Brandon Clarke is still alive. Edey/Jackson/Aldama should be a good enough front court.


Assuming no big changes for C’s. What’s your fascination with B.Clarke on this roster?

Different version of what I was fascinated with KP this time last year

For someone who claims to know the answers you’re leaving out Paul Gaston owning the team, Bias dying, Reggie dying etc…

On another note you’ve done someone that no one has ever gotten done on this board…everyone universally hates your opinions.

One thing's for sure the ISO-ball and the excessive chucking of 3s will not work anymore.

Every time you iso and you end up losing the ball, OKC will convert that into 2 points.

If you chuck 3s and they miss, the Pacers will run and score on a fast break.

I'm accused of being a green glasses guy, but that was because what the Celtics were doing resulted in a lot of wins.

But after what happened this season, it's time the Cs tweak their system.

If the Cs continue to be inefficient and play recklessly, us Celtic fans will not be watching the Celtics in late May in the foreseeable future.

Exactly, it’s the JT achilles tank year. Also, you’d more than likely be able to resign Luke and Horford. Kids are gonna need some veterans. Do you think we’re the Kings?

If only this had ever been done before :roll:

Clarke’s edge is needed. If Joe keeps this offense I’m not sure how he fits. Small-ball 5?

A true sign of low intelligence: people who speak in absolutes, using words like ‘everyone,’ ‘everything,’ ‘always,’ or ‘never’ as if the world is black and white and nuance is a flaw instead of a feature of critical thinking.

It took me minute, but realizing you’re just a troll. My fault. I’ll adjust accordingly.

100%
It could explain all of the disastrous endings every year, obviously besides the championship year.

Hate to think what would have happened if Hali didn’t get hurt in 24 ECF. Better to be lucky than good, I guess. I think we still win, either way, for the record.

I said Baylor is raw. Just means he needs playing time. Walsh you can give him all the playing time in the world and it isn’t going to matter. He is what he is

Move McHale and there's no.title in 86 and no Finals appearance in 87. Surely you were on the blow it up bandwagon before 2024.

You reset then trade everyone including Tatum because it will be a long time. It’s not going to be two years. Be serious

50+% of shots coming from 3 is hard to watch.. Adam Silver probably hates watching it too.

They definitely need to stop the over reliance on analytics.

You're preaching to the choir, I've been saying that for weeks.

Return to Boston Celtics
