I think Tatum can be a 1. Most guys who are all nba weren't asked to be that guy this early and if they were they also had growing pains. Dont see Brown as more than a 2 on a 500 team or 3 on good team


Maybe but he is looking more like Carmelo. An elite scorer that doesn't make teammates better. Time will tell. I don't see much difference between him and Brown.


Well, we can have 3 Perimeter scorers that all need the ball and do similar things or we can get a guy who demands doubles. A guy who can shoot it and rebound

Nah. Good game for him as a player. Failure is a great teacher.

Hear ya and that's true. But would have hoped the guy would have better composed himself at the half.

I would rather see Wagner in there instead of Semi or Grant at this point.

Does Shake Milton think he’s running the Celtics offense?

I said I wasn't going to watch the Celtics after I didn't and they won twice. I should have listened.

Fake run in us, or not even that tonight?

I agree. Humble him a bit, will get him back in the gym. Tough road going against the MVP. I mean he did have 4 points and 9 boards but the fouls piled up

Let's just forget this game and focus on tomorrow.

If Celts lose tomorrow then it will really suck.

Dedmon is probably better overall than any big on this team outside of Rob.

Jaylen's defense is on par with Kemba's

Embiid is the only 300 lb man that will fall over if you breath on him.

Bunch of morons top to bottom in this organization.

We need a clean sweep.

Get rid of moron Ainge, clown Brad, and trade, Brown, Kemba, Smart.

Build around Romeo, Tatum and Rob

Kinda second guessing a bit on that brown for harden trade but then again the Celtics would still have Kemba walker on the roster.

Not sure if this is sarcasm, but he makes half of his shots from there. Best among our rotation players. That's a good shot for him.

It is amazing how when Kemba, Tatum or Brown are all having mediocre games no one steps up.

We have a bench with ok players, but how many players on this bench can score more than 10 ppg for an extended time?

It is farcical.

This is why we need TT. Let him bang against Embiid and accept he’ll score well but not compromise the rest of our defence. Him and Fournier are important to us, especially with certain matchups.
