Need bench depth, or the guys we have need to suddenly become less bum-ish

Yeah Pritchard probably just a contract to trade later. Can’t be traded til next year, right?


By the deadline I think?

I suck at the cap though.

The refs suck but the game was still great. Surprised by how good the Wolves are (they'll still go down).

Wasn’t exactly pretty, but it was fun. Both teams playing hard as hell, refs just messing up the flow.

That ref seems to be picking on Zinger. 2 consecutive bad calls from that ref on KP. 1st one on that rebound where it was Gobert who pushed KP off, and then that tip on the rebound where he got called for his 3rd foul.

Should be happy to be up shooting sub 30% from 3. Hard to survive that if it keeps up.

Man you guys are over reacting. Not too many celtics played well so far and we have the lead. I expect other celtics to step up as they won't be bad all together in another half..

And they call me hater.. :crazy:
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Curious to see how this team finishes a bar fight.

Yeah it's the refs that made it a slog for me to watch!
I did enjoy the JT explosion though.

Why would you want to trade the best shooting big man in history?
