Thibs still a defensive coach at heart.

Yikes. At least Thibs has the balls to bench them.

[Fierce1]

Stephen A. Smith, a diehard Knicks fan, already said Kemba needs to step up.

The Knicks should've listened to Celtic fans.

If they were mediocre he'd still play them, but they have been TERRIBLE. If the Cs vets were terrible and the young guys were productive like Quickly, I have no doubt we'd see more of them and less of the others.

We talk about shooting when we say that's why the young guys don't play but there is more, they can't defend nor offend. They have been total duds every time they go out there. Pritch can't even drive, I don't know what's up there. He can't defend and it's not for lack of trying. Nesmith seems like he doesn't know where to go on offense, so many times he's in the wrong place. He's always giving max effort, which I love, but he doesn't know what he's doing.

Grant is getting minutes just fine, but when he was bad for a little stretch he wasn't getting in either. Romeo is also playing, but JRich is actually playing well so that's a squeeze there. For as much as people don't like Schroder, he has helped us at times when no one else has. Then there is Smart, who has been excellent lately. There is no room to let Pritch play and figure it out.

We lose games but the vets have not played poorly. They could be a bit better, for sure, but they have not been consistently bad as Fourny and Kemba. They were never defenders, but they also can't offend lately. They are forcing Thibs' hands here. I would play DRose over kemba too.

It's been a knock by a lot of people but I made an erroneous assumption, my bad, sorry.

Cs that would thrive in this Dubs system: Horford, Grant, Smart, Hayward (ex-Cs), Timelord, probably Crowder.

Step up? I'm not sure Stephen got the memo about Walker's knee lol. After being bought out by the Thunder, the Kicks picked him up for 8mil. Can't expect too much from Kemba this year.

Randalh asn't been playing all that well from what I've read. Fournier, too. Those are the guys that need to pick it up.

[BK_2020]

Javonte playing well meanwhile. He and Theis among the ex-Celtics have been thriving.

[Marvel]

Harden with 20 fts tonight. Trash.

The Refs:

[zoyathedestroya]

Luke Walton just got fired.

What a sorry-ass franchise. Can't they just move the Kings to Rhode Island or Connecticut?

[Curmudgeon]

LOL, ands the only Sacramento couch out of the last 18 who won more than he lost was Rick Adelman with a winning percentage of .622. Unbelievably, Walton at .422 is the second winningest coach in franchise history.

[GoGreen]

Would it be super surprising if Philly actually got a decent return for Simmons? Ya never know with the NBA is all I'm saying.

[Curmudgeon]

I think Simmons is $150M worth of trouble and has destroyed his own trade value. So no, I think Morey will be very disappointed at the return, even though he'll try to put a good face on it.

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

Lebron ejected (and Stewart for retaliation) and 4-5 guys had to forcibly remove Stewart from the stadium will blood streaming down his face. Crazy ****.

[bisme37]

Lakers ære losing to the Pistons and Bron just got ejected for hitting Isaiah Stewart in the face. Stewart went absolutely nuts and charged after Bron with blood dripping down his face. Refs and coaches flying all over the place. Wild scene.

Lakers are an old team.

Always doesn't end well when a team relies heavily on players that are past their prime.

The Nets learned that when they traded a treasure trove of draft picks for two old Celtic superstars.

I love Stewart.

Can we bring him in???
