Gordon will just stand in the corner, cut baseline, but no one passing him the ball. Will be a waste of assets. Same thing's already happening with Fourny. Change the team's mindset esp the main guys. I don't think it'll happen with the current coach.

It's a good thing 2029 is still 8 years away.
I'm sure changes will be made by that time.
And there will be no Lebron, KD, and Harden in 2029.

There are no clear defined roles on this team. Guys just doing whatever. It's not one person, it's collective suckage that the coach won't change.

My cousins kid, their high-school team runs a better motion offense than Brad stevens. Saw some videos of it on mark Zuckerbergs book of faces.

It is becoming clearer and clearer it doesn't matter who this team adds or subtracts this seasons when this offense consists off:
Having Kemba as a shoot first PG
1 or 2 passes then a JT or JB ISO
Smart taking 8 threes a game.
Every game going on a 8 minutes stretch scoring 6 points.
Team has great individual talent but horrible team basketball. A complete overall is needed with the offense and players Walker Brown and Tatum are the death lineup for the celtics.

Ill give you credit your faith in this front office is unwavering. Loyality doesn't equal success here though.

I don't know. was it Larry birds finger? WEll that means something. But I'm not sure what. I post over on Celtics blog too and they have some interesting things to say about him. I'm not sure what to think. But I'm sure he will sum it up in 3 or 4 words.

The Celtics problem is not Stevens it’s Tatum, Brown and Kemba. If those 3 moved the ball and didn’t play selfishly a ton of the Celtics issues would go away.
Kemba is tough because he is what he always was a ball stopping point guard who is only looking for his own shot.
Tatum and Brown are different and both can change. Those two young players playing with Kyrie Irving and Kemba Walker have developed a lot of bad habits. Over dribbling, ISOs, step back 3’s, not passing the ball etc.
Move the ball and a ton of issues go away

Those guys never step foot on the floor without Brad's endorsement. I reached a point some time ago where I stopped buying that Brad wanted to see ball movement and team play. He can say what he wants but it doesn't often reflect in his actions as a coach, and we all know that actions speak louder than words.
He took a hard stance with Rondo way back when, and was willing to bench our vet PC on occasion. Apparently disobeying him is an issue to him, but selfishly chucking shots and stopping ball movement is not.
Ever since Brad came on board, as an organization we have gravitated somewhat towards players who are either selfish or low IQ. And the same issues have often repeated themselves regardless of our exact personnel.
For the record this past year has been tough on an awful lot of people, this has been a season unlike any other, and it is easy to forget that these guys are all human like us. I think it is understandable, yet ridiculous to react too harshly to what we have seen this season. I'm just saying.
