20-29 from the FT line.
Smart 2 assists and 4 turnovers.

Not going to beat even garbage teams when the above is happening.

Rob was awesome though, yay.


You can still beat garbage teams if you do that but didn't start Semi, or have Green or Edwards see the floor.

Celtics are a garbage team

We can hate on him (he deserves a lot of it) but Danny screwed him so hard this year. Dude is begging for help at this point

i dont care what anyone says, if nesmith is a healthy scratch every game and your team isn't that good (nor are the players in front of him) that's TERRIBLE decision by the coach! Even if he is TERRIBLE, he wouldn't be alone!! AT LEAST THIS IS HIS ROOKIE SEASON UNLIKE THE OTHER GUYS WHO GET IN AHEAD OF HIM!!!! i don't care about any excuse people can come up with unless it's injury-related or he's being disciplined for something, THOSE EXCUSES ARE MEANINGLESS BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHEN YOU WRITE THEM THEY AREN'T LOGICAL!!!

They should have tanked after that Hawks game but they refused and now have won too many. This is such an ugly position to be in. We’re talking about a first round exit this season in a likely brutal fashion. Team had a positive success even though we should have beat that heat team. It was heading in a good direction. But these last 2 years Ainge hasn’t done ****, Brad’s approach has gotten tiresome and he too needs to improve himself to be a better leader and coach. This Celtics team can lose to any team any day. There is no expectation from this group. It’s a bad team out there. I don’t see the fire from any player either as of late besides Timelord of all players who is busting his ass and coming into form.

Yes I am in that crowd.

But I am firmly onboard the “Ainge and Steven’s need to do something now, enough is enough. Or just go.”

Wyc just said like 3-4 days ago he was very pleased with Danny and Brad and their jobs are very secure.. I was pretty shocked. Either he's full of crap or he's delusional. Honestly going with the latter.

I wonder if the people who were against Harden are having second thoughts?

Like I said earlier, if they traded for Harden it would have forced Danny’s hand to go win now. But instead he didn’t take the risk, and now very well could just stand pat once again.

Danny is making everyone look bad. Fans should rightfully be pissed with this bs. Every team is making moves besides the Celtics.

They’ll never admit bc half of them are the same people who said he doesn’t pass and his defense hadn’t improved at all. They haven’t watched him. They followed a narrative of him or saw him play 2x a year against us

Ainge isn't making him play the double big lineup, or yank our best player early in the first, splitting him into two shorter stints, and breaking up any chance at him hitting a rhythm. It's leaving us trailing early in every game. However, Ainge has been equally bad.

I have no problem admitting it

but also, I'm still in the Don't Trade Hayward club

I must admit, I've been a fan of TPE though - that dude can ball

NOPE. I said what I said. When we beat them in the playoffs then ask this question.

Let me say I didn't see one second of this but cannot say I am surprised at the outcome.

The way I look at it I wouldn't sit there and watch it two and a half hour movie I know it's going to be bad so why would I sit through this?

Anyway I'll still follow the team on here and I watch the box scores but I'm not sitting through this mess any longer until they improve.

Nah. Danny did his job. Two under-25 All-Star Wings. One All-NBA. One of the best young bigs in the League. 4-time All-Star guard. All-Defensive guard.

And we have the worst offense in the league, especially in crunch time given our talent. Time for Brad to feel the heat. He's done a terrible, horrific job this year, no question.

This is what I’ve been saying all year. Yes Stevens has not been good this year but the roster is absolute garbage. No coach is taking this team anywhere. There will be time to judge Stevens fairly. I don’t think it’s this year. There is no where to turn the roster is filled with very young inexperienced players and garbage

This team -- should not be at this level, as is.


See I sorta disagree. I think this exactly what they are. They have 2 all stars. 1 good player (smart). 1 guy that used to be good (Walker), a few decent role players and then absolute trash. We might like Grant Williams but a good GM could find a better player in the G league or Europe in a blink of an eye. Same with Semi. We like apritchard because he’s had some moments but there are PGs everywhere that can do what he can do. Nesmith can’t earn time, Langford can’t get healthy. It’s just bad. DA needs to go nuclear and make multiple moves. Needs to make moves to get this team moving in the right direction NOW and then make more moves to make them contenders next year.

Move #1. Brown package for Beal. Tatum is a stud. Don’t blow it with Tatum. Bring in Beal and you’re 2/3s the way there.
