We're in a bind. We want to raise Kemba's value so he can't be a bench player, but that might be his best role at this point anyway.

Smart and Romeo seem like identical pit bull defenders who can switch and guard a few positions, which I love. But damn their shooting may be challenging.

Damn what a starting lineup. When is the last time Celtics started a team full of all Celtics-drafted players? Does it happen more than I think?

EDIT: Found it: https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201904090WAS.html but it was a Game 82.

Love rome starting can’t believe Brad is actually doing it. This defensive lineup should be able to stymy the Knicks offense.

I’m worried about our offense tbh tho this could be a deep two fade-away fest if we don’t move the damn ball.

No kemba so can we get like 10 solid **** minutes of Jaylen and Jayson to start the game? Not Jayson our right at 6 mins I know we’re thin and brad likes having one of the jays on the court at all times but why not just change it up. How about a great start for Tatum too his first quarter are always him not getting the ball or starting cold.

This is going to be an interesting Lineup.

My buddy’s grandfather’s buddy’s grandfather who works for the Sioux Falls SkyForce, is saying that Kemba will be packaged in a trade with Brown and picks in the off-season to get Beal.

Need more drives. Can't keep standing around the perimeter and overdribbling/passing it from there. Drive-and-kick. Attack the basket. Problem with Jays driving, defenders are going to play them for the shot so they collapse into the paint. Either they force a contested shot or they turn it over. Less tunnel vision, find the shooters or find Rob up top.

I'm going on record. If the Celtics lose to the Knicks they aren't winning the title this year.

Same, still can't believe they let him go for nothing so they could replace him with Tacko Fall. He would legit play 20+ minutes on this team.

Need Smart to play well, he’s been brutal for the most part since he returned.

Langford has that "too cool for school", disinterested look I can't stand. I've yet to see a winner with that look. Apparently he's "earned" his starting spot and guys like Pritchard and Nesmith have not. Brad has to go
