What even is this lineup?? Muscala at SF? Sometimes I don’t think Joe is being serious.

this lineup doesn't have enough guys who can create space / create their own shot.

let's get either pritchard, champagnie or JD in there.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Could care less if the Celtics win or lose. Just no key players get hurt

I thought Malcolm brogdon would have the edge at this point but I am not sure.


Malcolm has missed too many games.

That guy's body is not meant for 60 games/season.

Love him when he is healthy.

He's played 67 games this season....

Oh damn. That is actually impressive. Save for his rookie season with 70+ games.

Either way, that Championship run should take away any sting from not winning 6th man.

Next seasons g league perhaps for kabengale


Not sure where I read / heard it but I believe that Kabengele can't be resigned into a 2-way by us again. If we don't sign him to reg contract, we lose him. Can someone with more info than me verify this?

a team can have a guy on a 2-way for up to 2 seasons. this is only his 1st season on a 2-way with us.

but a guy can only be on a 2 way if he has 3 or less years of nba experience. so i think this is the last year kabengele is eligible to be on a 2-way (with us or with any team) cause i think it's his 3rd year in the league right now.

I mean...yeah...that is valid. If Silver was really 'bout it, 'bout it, he would do away with load management completely. Pause.

Alfred is absolute class. His pops taught him well.

He's been like that his entire NBA career.
