I'm listening to the Celtics announcers, and the ghost of Tommy is alive and well on St. Patrick's Day.

I like how Brad Stevens put Edwards in because he sonned Garland his rookie year in the preseason and Garland was like, I've had some upgrades.

Grant Williams is looking like a pretty big bust.

If you have a player who is getting trapped for that long, someone has to show.

Sometimes it's the basic stuff, that the Cavs don't do that drives me up the wall.

Wade is definitely the silver lining in this season.

Sexton and Garland are doing a better job of playing WITH each other this game. We're still getting jobbed by the officials though.

This was Okoro's best offensive game of the season.

I surely will.

But what's with the Cavs?

Do they need to play the rest of the season after 4 losses in a row when both teams are on a back to back?

One good sign is that Nance Jr is looking more and more like himself, which is a sign his hand isn't bothering him.

I will say, opposing team's fans and announcers recognize what a problem keeping Garland and Sexton out of the paint is and how hard Okoro's play on D even if they seem completely off the radar of the national media.

Maybe Ainge will get desperate and trade Nesmith to us for some vets because it doesn't look like Stevens can find the kid any minutes even with the C's struggling to sink a 3pter and playing just .500 ball.

I'm a little nervous about trading Cedi because he can always come in and give you minutes on defense against guys like Tatum. Even if he doesn't stop them from scoring, he makes them work for it.

As far as Nesmith, it might be that they're not playing him because they don't want to lower his trade value.

They seem to have pretty much pushed him off the radar of trade value already.

Cedi is on a good contract for what he brings. I'm perfectly fine if we end up keeping him, but trading him for a younger player with potentially more upside would be a solid move as well given the time frame of our core.

Brad wouldn't play his rookie ... but don't you think Cedi and/or JaVale would be a better option for them then some of the players he did use?

I'd take a shot on Nesmith and Fall if Danny gets desperate. Two of their best players in +/- and Brad won't play them.
