they are pussyfooting around what doc said, he said NO without saying no! PERIOD! Kenny said it but pulled back a little.


I'll take the blame for this one. :(
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

The salt here is strong, there is nothing more I can say.

I wanted Stevens gone as coach well over a year ago but you’re just irrationally angry at not being in the EFC if you don’t think games missed had anything to do with that.


The Celtics sucked and no, having everyone on the team wouldn't of changed that.

This team needs almost an entire reset.


Yes, the team sucked. The point is bitter boi over here saying we should still be in the playoffs with what’s left over.

How could we still be in the playoffs?

Better seeding.

How could we have had better seeding this year?

Less injuries/time lost to Covid.

We weren’t beating Brooklyn but if you’re going to complain about getting bounced in the first round this year and blame it 100% on Stevens that’s just.. sad.

Ainge **** up last year when he sat on his ass and we lost in the ECF because Miami made deadline moves to get Iggy and Jae. We could have made those moves instead and it would have gotten us a trip to the finals.

This year he actually got went out and Fournier but got gifted a big **** you from the injury Gods.

Hopefully Brad is aggressive and makes moves. Play to win.. Enough of this waiting ****.


I don’t think Ainge considers our team legit contenders the past 3 seasons. Teams have been getting players before the deadline to beef up their lineups for the playoffs, while Ainge stood pat. So frustrating. We should have been to th finals in the bubble, and who knows what would happen.


Most of us consider this roster a tier 2 or 3 contender. But you have to give yourself a shot and I feel like he didn't. All it takes is a little ankle sprain to a big star and a series you thought was lost against a tier 1 team can be yours.


Exactly! and we much up better than the heat. We’ve beat them handily in the regular season at our home court, and was a close one at staples. Not wishing any injuries, but you are right. A single sprain, hamstring to one of Lebron or AD, and we could have been the favorites. We just have to give our team a shot. Sadly that’s not how Ainge thinks.

Simmons goes from All Star to incompetent quickly.

The last guy I remember doing this was Vin Baker....hmmmmm.

Reporter question to Doc 'Can Ben Simmons still be the PG on a championship team?'

Doc: 'I don't know. I don't know the answer to that question'.

'Thup thump thup thump' .. <Sound of the bus going over Simmons :lol:

Well that's all true but ultimately this team wasn't built well even in a year where apparently it was a free for all to win it.


Frankly I'm happy with the final 4 as it's refreshing. Our team needs to do some serious roster turnover if we hope to have aspirations for a title.

Not just hoping guys stay healthy.

It really only shows you how bad we are..

Not that there was a missed op.


I know we are/were bad. that's my point.. looking back a few years, how the hell did we go from that to this..


it seemed like every move ainge made was snake bit...hayward then kyrie then kemba. hopefully brad can flush out the bad juju.

so we sucked all year because of covid and injuries (every team had them) and not because of Stevens and Ainge??? wow.. I know every fan base has to have some clueless fans.. thanks for stepping up!

no blame needed. i just wanted to watch u guys keep laughing about the sixers. i dont dislike the sixers just dont like some of their players even if they are really good. i still would have been ok with them winning tho.
