Celtics (25-16) @ Magic (17-24) – 7:00PM, Sat, Jan. 12, 2019

[reload141]

Tatum, Jaylen, and picks for AD.

Too much? Don’t care.

Both suck and wont be enough unfortunately.

I don’t understand why you post here. You crap on about Kyrie signing elsewhere all the time and how bad Tatum is when neither is true at all.

I wonder why you read and reply to my replies too hmm...

First, I don’t say Tatum is bad all the time but I do say that anout Brown, so read a little bit better.

Second, Kyrie will NOT be happy if this turmoil continues so please tell me WHY would he stay here with this current mediocre team ? For the money ? He has tons of it already ..just like AD, Kyrie is not about $$...

And before you attack me, why don’t you wait until the season plays out and where Durant and AD will end up..because Kyrie might follow them...


Yeah, Kyrie will waste his prime years playing with Aging Horford, broken Hayward who are making ton of money and are both “has been” players.

I bet you’ll say but Horford is the man in the playoffs... right...


Kyrie will want to play with wanna be Kobe (Tatum) and Tmac (Brown).

The only 3 players that have balls on this team are Kyrie, Smart and Morris - rest are trash, inconsistent bunch.

Sorry if you don’t like it pal. I can also say some of your “sources” and trade claims were far from true too but I keep that to myself ..

[Fencer reregistered]

Yeah he will re-sign if they continue this..

I wonder what that play design was. It doesn't seem like one of Brad's cleverer ATOs. Kyrie seemed to think the pass should have gone to Morris rather than Tatum, but he didn't look a lot more open than Tatum was.

Maybe Morris was meant to receive the ball in a triple option, shooting, passing to Horford or passing to a flashing Irving as the case might be? If so, I can see why Hayward thought the odds on Tatum taking a contested Kobe shot were just as good ... at least except for the part where 3 points would have been a lot better than 2, which is getting overlooked in the dislike of the actual 0 point outcome.

For whatever reason Kyrie wanted Hayward to pass the ball to Al. If you re-watch the video few times you can lip read what Kyrie said. But like someone else mentioned its concerning the look Brad Stevens had at the end looking at Kyrie and Hayward ..almost as if he knows this thing could blow up at any second.

So far this is what the team has been dealing with:

- Brad Stevens unsure how to schuffle players and properly distribute minutes and is afraid to bench players

- Team meeting after the loss to Bucks

- Morris shoving Jaylen Brown

- Irving not being pleased number of times

- Brown not happy coming off the bench.

- Hayward not being 70% of how he used to be in Utah

- Al Horford aging, cannot survive back2back games


- Tatum also under performing...



This all points out to CHEMISTRY issues. Why ? Because both Tatum and Browns growth have been stunned by pretty boy Hayward.

Rozier was also on the tear but obviously took 7 steps back with Kyrie coming back.

Reality is, this team is not good and as of now, this is how I rank the East.

1. Clear cut Raptors ...

2. Bucks

3. Indiana

4th spot is up for grabs btw us and 76ers who also have chemistry issues (simmons, embiid and Butler).

If I am wrong PLEASE someone enlighten me...

It’s not even about my sources or anything like that.

You started a thread on GB talking about Kyrie, KP and Durant teaming up in NY.
Are you legitimately a Celtics fan? This is why I don’t understand why you post here.

It’s like you’re just wanting the franchise to be terrible and claim that you knew it all along or something.

I am a Boston Celtics fan. 34 years old. Born and raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Currently living in Marblehead, MA. Do you need more info about me ?

I am just being realistic ?

So what if I go on GB and make a thread about something that is not Celtics relevant but use our own player - to start a DISCUSSION, a normal conversation with other normal minded individuals ? Or do I have to be obsessed about Celtics and only post about them, never allow to disagree with someone, never allow to express my opinion ? Calm down my dude. I like you as a poster, but you just like everyone else has some holes in their posting whatever it is. Nobody is perfect.

I can also say same for you for instance. Why post numerous times some trade speculations that your “sources” mentioned that were far from true ? Did you ever see me come and quote you, while some members to this day, including myself question the credibility of your sources ?

STILL,

I got no issues with you or your posts....

But EXCUSE ME if god forbit I go on GB and agree with some other non celtics fans about the current Celtics situation.

Actually all my trade posts are purely in my head just FYI, not sourced based at all (apart from the Smart ones deadline last year I’ll give you that)

I’m with you on a lot of things, trade(s) need to happen, the roster is imbalanced and first and foremost Rozier needs to go for a pure PG.

I still don’t see the appeal of Kyrie leaving despite what I’ve been told. He wants to prove himself and we still give him the best opportunity here with Stevens and the organisation behind him.

Our record is abysmal given the “talent” on the roster but then looking around the league... no real one team is dominating this year?
I guess that’s why I’m a bit more optimistic than some, I know we will flick the switch come playoffs but how much of a switch will it be?

Who knows, I tell you what I’ll be firmly against this team is they go out in the 1st or 2nd round.

I don’t mind too much people attacking my credibility ever and you’re right, you never have so thank you.

I’m coming to Boston soon, we should have beers.

reload you have been dead on with Irving since I joined here. And I do think he stays and loves Boston. Problem is, I don't even think he believed it would be like this......at the moment anyway. I do sometimes wonder if he would pair up with a star or two somewhere else but I like to think the Celtics can be the ones to pair him up with bigger talent.

I like to believe in this team too......but are they going to ride with this current team all season without making a single move?

I mean just kinda wing it for the year and put all your chips into getting another star in the summer?

I wish I was optimistic as you are but we are almost half way through the season and we are under performing big time.

We have no business losing to Miami Heat, Orlando Magic and other teams that we not should but MUST be beating. Yeah the league has improved a lot and it’s been a weird damn season for every team but when you have the payroll that we do, you just don’t lose to teams that are not even in the playoff picture.

This team was built to win a title. But SOMEHOW we are being exposed left and right. We will probably blowout the Raptors on Wednesday then lose 3 straight games to .500 or bellow teams. This is when I want to put my head through a god damn wall.

At the start of the season? It was basically ride it out and see how we go given last years performance etc, now? I don’t know.... I’m in it as much this year but I’ll still try and get some info soon.

At the end of the season they’ll offer him max and he’ll ask about the roster and they will give him (or attempt to) give what he wants.

He has a lot of pull so if he wants certain guys gone for the right player he’ll get what he wants.

I'm honestly at times dumbfounded by Rozier. I was never high on him at all, always knew. But this is a new low, worse then I ever expected.

It's even at the point at times I have wondered if he is half assing it out of protest since he thinks he should be a starter.

You nailed it. Kyrie is probably shocked himself....but also is Kyrie really a player capable of leading a team to a stardom ? He is a top 10-15 NBA player but the difference btw TOP 5 and TOP 10 is huge. That’s why you need an MVP caliber player to win. Curry’s, KD’s, Hardens, AD etc...hell even with TOP 5 player your GM still needs to pair him with legit all stars in order to win. That’s how the NBA works nowdays. Pelicans should be so much better considering they have some say the best player in the NBA but AD cant do it alone and needs legit all star 1 or two to elevate the team.


Thats why Ainge PAID Hayward so much because he thought he would be the Utah Jazz Hayward. Unfortunately nobody knew he would break his ankle in the opener and I hope I am wrong but I think what we see from Hayward is what we’ll get out from him. Al Horford is a solid guy to have but is showing decline and slowing down big time.

This is where Danny Ainge needs to do some work. But good luck moving Haywards contract. At least Horford is coming off the books soon but Gordon Hayward is killing the development of Tatum and Brown.

I agree Irving is stunned too, I noticed it the last few games. I mean the shooting by himself after the game in Miami was pretty telling to me.

I do however think Kyrie can lead a team to the finals with the right complimentary pieces around him. But ideally to win it all you would need an AD or KD probably.

Who knows, I tell you what I’ll be firmly against this team is they go out in the 1st or 2nd round.

I don’t mind too much people attacking my credibility ever and you’re right, you never have so thank you.

I’m coming to Boston soon, we should have beers.

I wish I was optimistic as you are but we are almost half way through the season and we are under performing big time.

We have no business losing to Miami Heat, Orlando Magic and other teams that we not should but MUST be beating. Yeah the league has improved a lot and it’s been a weird damn season for every team but when you have the payroll that we do, you just don’t lose to teams that are not even in the playoff picture.

This team was built to win a title. But SOMEHOW we are being exposed left and right. We will probably blowout the Raptors on Wednesday then lose 3 straight games to .500 or bellow teams. This is when I want to put my head through a god damn wall.

Raps just lost to Atlanta? Denver to Phoenix, they are happening to every team but definetly more to us.
I was fine with the travel to Miami and on a b2b as Miami is a really well coached team that plays for eachother and plays hard.

I’d be stoked if we beat the Raps and it’s entirely possible as it’s a big matchup and we usually bring it (when we are healthy) in the big matches....

It’s extremely frustrating I 100% agree. Hayward breaking his ankle set this team back, let’s hope not permanently.

If AD does become available in the offseason then we should throw everything we have at him.

Actually all my trade posts are purely in my head just FYI, not sourced based at all (apart from the Smart ones deadline last year I’ll give you that)

I’m with you on a lot of things, trade(s) need to happen, the roster is imbalanced and first and foremost Rozier needs to go for a pure PG.

I still don’t see the appeal of Kyrie leaving despite what I’ve been told. He wants to prove himself and we still give him the best opportunity here with Stevens and the organisation behind him.

Celtics also have some crappy luck too I must say.

Raps didn't lose to Atlanta - Sixers did. Both Sixers and Celtics are incredibly young and our overperforming last year set us up with some crazy expectations imo. Young teams don't win usually. This is Toronto's season to lose, but I agree with you that we bring it in the big matchups and may push them or beat them.

Ah yeah my bad, Toronto has to win it this year for any hope of keeping Kawhi I guess?

If he does stay when we had the chance to trade for him..... then god help this board.

I wonder why you read and reply to my replies too hmm...

First, I don’t say Tatum is bad all the time but I do say that anout Brown, so read a little bit better.

Second, Kyrie will NOT be happy if this turmoil continues so please tell me WHY would he stay here with this current mediocre team ? For the money ? He has tons of it already ..just like AD, Kyrie is not about $$...

And before you attack me, why don’t you wait until the season plays out and where Durant and AD will end up..because Kyrie might follow them...


Yeah, Kyrie will waste his prime years playing with Aging Horford, broken Hayward who are making ton of money and are both “has been” players.

I bet you’ll say but Horford is the man in the playoffs... right...


Kyrie will want to play with wanna be Kobe (Tatum) and Tmac (Brown).

The only 3 players that have balls on this team are Kyrie, Smart and Morris - rest are trash, inconsistent bunch.

Sorry if you don’t like it pal. I can also say some of your “sources” and trade claims were far from true too but I keep that to myself ..

It’s not even about my sources or anything like that.

You started a thread on GB talking about Kyrie, KP and Durant teaming up in NY.
Are you legitimately a Celtics fan? This is why I don’t understand why you post here.

It’s like you’re just wanting the franchise to be terrible and claim that you knew it all along or something.

I am a Boston Celtics fan. 34 years old. Born and raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Currently living in Marblehead, MA. Do you need more info about me ?

I am just being realistic ?

So what if I go on GB and make a thread about something that is not Celtics relevant but use our own player - to start a DISCUSSION, a normal conversation with other normal minded individuals ? Or do I have to be obsessed about Celtics and only post about them, never allow to disagree with someone, never allow to express my opinion ? Calm down my dude. I like you as a poster, but you just like everyone else has some holes in their posting whatever it is. Nobody is perfect.

I can also say same for you for instance. Why post numerous times some trade speculations that your “sources” mentioned that were far from true ? Did you ever see me come and quote you, while some members to this day, including myself question the credibility of your sources ?

STILL,

I got no issues with you or your posts....

But EXCUSE ME if god forbit I go on GB and agree with some other non celtics fans about the current Celtics situation.

Jesus Christ

You come in way too hot, and way too emo, for a new poster.

Please slow your roll, thanks.

Compared to last year when we won every close game... yeah.

If it gets to the point where you want to put your head through a wall we’ll go out in Boston instead and get slaughtered.

Hello, I’m sorry but who exactly are you ? Just curious as I’m not sure ?

Just because you have 1700000 posts doesn’t mean your posts are more credible than mine buddy ?!

Ever been to a wine tasting ? A $20 bottle of wine can win over a $1000 bottle wine just saying.

I’m not way too hot maybe your just too sensitive brah ? Anyways Im done with negativity. Goodnight and Goodluck to our next game.
