Interesting, reading the protocols I wouldn't attend one unless I was vaccinated up but still.

Only a month away, I know they don't have an incentive to care about fan health because the fans that would go won't care but that might be a sign that they're optimistic about the number of vaccines MA is going to get over the next 30 days.

I'm getting my 1st shot, tomorrow. Probably will get the 2nd one, about 4 weeks later.
I'll go to a game in April.

So the trade-deadline acquisition is fans in the stands now?

I mean, Brad has developed Tatum and Brown from day one and look at where they are at now... I can actually see them being OK with him at the moment...they just know the rest of the roster is bin juice.

I wonder if their first target is Ainge and putting the pressure on him first...then if Brad can't make it work with new additions to the roster then i'm sure they'll turn their attention to Brad.

To be fair, Tatum said the current roster can win a championship right now. At least publicly, seems like he won't complain about the roster.

Also, saying Brad is "great", "always has us prepared" that's pretty **** heavy praise for him

The idea Tatum is looking to leave before his ~$200M extension even kicks in is mostly a creation of fan panic.

I’m sick and tired of all this Stevens mumbo jumbo speeches! Do something different damn it. Your offense is as boring as hell, and your defense sucks with it. Since your job is as secured as it can be, don’t be a **** coward, do something different!

It's not going to end well if the Celts let fans back in and the Celtics suck.

Ainge needs to give the fans a good product.

What the Celts have now is just a waste of money.

Brad lets the players do whatever they like on the court. No discipline, no consequences, no structure. How can Tatum not like that? My only hope now is for our players to be more efficient with their individal shotmaking and for them to care a bit on defense.

Ainge quote on getting guys who aren't subservient but complementary to the Jays was pretty telling.

That's really odd because a few years ago Brad was very strict.

It's only the last couple of seasons that Brad has become a bit soft on his players.

Welcome to the lottery. We're officially the 9th seed and the Knicks, Bulls, and Hornets are in the playoffs if the season ended today.

Hey, look on the bright side: if the season ended today, we'd have an 8.5% chance at a top-4 pick!

Both have "developed" despite him. If anything, Brad has failed to address some of their bad habits or stymied their games rather than be responsible in any way shape or form for their development.
