Unfortunate game for Jayson, that won’t be standard so I’m not losing sleep over it.



tatum is getting the same treament that every guy gets, that schroder (less so because of tatum's night). grant was getting hell before the 4th and he wasn't even bad then, he just had randle putting it on him. game thread to game thread, if a player has a bad night, they are called most names in the book. watch next game, whoever performs the worst will be talked about like they should never see the court.

Everybody does this lol. Still getting mad about it in 2021 is pointless.

really? everybody?

every single player in the NBA gives a huge hug to opposing team with a huge smile on their face immediately after the game ends after every loss?

Really?

Rob was smiling and laughing with Kemba after the game. Pretty sure other players did it as well.

Has absolutely nothing to do with the competitive nature of the guys. Being mad after games doesn't automatically make you a competitor and being friendly doesn't make you uncompetitive.

People need to adjust to the fact that the game has changed. These guys all play together, whether AAU, other teams, summer workouts.

Once again 22 year old Grant Williams gets stuck with the other team’s biggest baddest player and we all blame him. The kid is just not good enough to stick guys like Durrant and Randle. The issue is he’s actually the best available on this roster to do so…it’s baffling we didn’t address an upgrade here.

Fournier was the third scorer we needed. Granted , he doesn’t make us a contender so I understand the logic of saving your powder for a better deal but he was certainly the best FA we could have signed and we let him go because wyc and pags are cheap

No way, man. Smart's gonna shut him down.

Not only is Smart a 2x all defensive team player, but he was quoted during the offseason saying that he wants to play PG and it has bummed him out that Ainge kept bringing in all of these dudes to play PG instead of him. Guess who the last PG Ainge brought in to play PG instead of Smart was? Kemba! Smart should be extra motivated to shut Kemba down tonight.


I know. It's more of a "of course he played his ass off he was spurned by us" statement. Then the over reaction around here for getting rid of him.

Luckily nothing happened.

and give up 45 points on the other end.

Celtics might score 150 points if Kemba and Fournier play a lot of minutes.


Well you were half right. Sucked watching Fournier go off or more so us letting him.
