I'm for it. He looked like he had some juice left in game 4. I mean he's a vet minimum guy and isn't a 100 years old, let's keep that in mind before ripping him to shreds.

Big signing if this was 2017.

Just kidding (sort of.) The reality is he's lost all his athleticism that made him great and he's now a spot-up shooter that can't shoot.

The signing is fine regardless because I don't think he's going to play that much anyways.

You run a bench group of Brogdon-White-Tatum/Brown-Grant-Griffin, that's enough to keep/extend the lead against most teams.

He's the slowest player in the NBA. Waste of a roster spot.

You don't want to have to depend on him in the playoffs at this stage of his career, but good regular season signing to get us more size and depth until Rob comes back. I like it.

Could add Jayson Tatum to this tweet too. Tatum destroyed Griffin.

Blake is a very good passer, and is a good pick and pop guy. For 15 minutes a game in the regular season, he does the trick.

Celtics definitely need some big man depth with Williams likely being out half the year with one injury or another

Yeah then there's that. Teams are just going to continue to pick on Griffin whenever he's in because the dude can barely move at an NBA level

I expect a short rotation again with a lot of small ball. If Blake is playing it’s cause Al or Grant is hurt

You think he starts with Rob out? Or Kornet?
