I'm speaking moreso towards Brown.

Tatum is fringe top 10 at best, with top 5 seeming pretty inevitable. That's all good. That's your guy. But he needs a guy who is capable of being the best player on a playoff team because that's what today's NBA climate of superteams require.

That's a hell of a chance to take. I'd prefer proven talent, every single time.

2 seconds rounds for pick30, good move letting aside that the value sucks and Ainge is one of the worst gms using second rounds.

Conversations go downhill quick when you get to tell the other person what they think, instead of asking them.


If you just hop into any game thread during the regular season. They're the ones saying people aren't fans because they're not happy when we're down 20 or we dare to mention one of our players who are playing like ****.

They claim you can't be a fan unless you have no thought in your head but cheerleader songs. They're easy to find and there are many.
Yup. This is exactly why I've distanced myself from this board. This is a board for die hards/fanatics, and non-likeminded fans are considered toxic. As for SMTBSI's question for posters such as this, how about posters like Homerclease? He is a textbook example of the behavior you describe.

That dude has what seems to be a genuinely personal hatred of me and loathes my existence because of some Boston Celtics takes. Made things personal to the point where I had to report him and contact moderators over his childish behavior. It's pathetic.

It's funny. I've considered stepping away from this board a few times in the past two seasons for exactly the opposite reason. Because the game threads are overwhelmed by the negative fans, and the "die hards" are put on blast constantly and never given a moment's peace. And, while getting constantly clowned on in every thread, just like is happening right now, we simultaneously get told that somehow we're the problem.

How can that be? How can two groups of fans have such polar opposite experiences of this board? What does it say to you that there are fans who feel exactly the same way you do, but feel that you are the culprit instead of the victim?

How sure are you that you are right? That your perspective is the correct one?

Bane would not have made the roster anyways. Not sure why y'all are tripping.

In college he shot 40% two different years. 45.5 his soph year and then 39.3 his senior year.

In other words, we lit a pick on fire, because Wanamaker is a no-doubt better player.


He plays nothing like TJ lol. McConnell couldn't shoot at all whereas Pritchard is one of the best shooters in the draft and was PAC-12 POY.

Just admit you haven't watched him it's fine. No need to pretend.

Stop bringing this BS up. McConnell shot 38% for his career in college on decent volume, the same as...Payton Pritchard.

McConnell is also a vastly better defender and a pure point. Pritchard has better scoring chops and can get to the tin better.


Uhh McConnell shot 33% 3PT for his career. Where the fook are you getting 38% from?

He took 17 3PA his senior year at Arizona. How is that decent volume? That's 0.2 3PA a game. He took less than 1 three a game for his career. Pritchard shot 41.5% 3PT on 7 3PA last year.

You're the one just making **** up clown. I mean cmon man get outta here with that BS.

Christ, I was hoping you finally got banned. If you think I haven’t been critical of this team before then go have a conversation with Elrod about Yabusele. I flamed Danny relentlessly for that pick and there’s been many other times I’ve voiced displeasure over organizational moves.

You just provide absolutely nothing to this forum and post strictly to rile up other posters. I don’t even believe you are actually a fan of this team to be honest. Now off you go

Need that stretch big at 47. Get me another 40% shooter and at least 6'9".

May as well just draft some lottery ticket at 47 if they already took two nickels at 14 and 26.

Still holding out hope for Paul Reed at 47. Expecting we might trade it too though

what an absolute disaster. We passed on Tyler Bey and Robert Woodard for future 2nds? Holy smokes. Classic Danny. I don't want to hear about Monday Morning QB b.s. when I point out who we passed on in upcoming seasons like I did with Bazley, Clarke, Samanic, Bol, Claxton, and Roby, when these guys became major contributors down the road. I'm saying it now like I said it then. Danny blew a major opportunity to replace Hayward tonight. Both of these guys could have been our starting 3 or 4. These were lottery players on my Big Board and were available at pick 30. When you get lucky because the other G.M.s suck, you take advantage of it. Tragic.
