Yeah competition for minutes can be good but if you have so many guys who all think they deserve to start and get shots, especially ones who are worried about $$, that's a recipe for problems.

Apart from horford we have bigs, they're just injured or bad.

I have a huge beef with Ainge and think he deserves a ton of criticism

We went into the season with too many small forwards and not enough size

Sorry, but Aron Baynes should not have been expected to be a starting center. He's a back-up. And then after he got injured, Ainge failed to replace him at the trade deadline.

He didn't even bother to acquire a big who was bought out after the trade deadline (like Kanter.)

Also, if Ainge loves small forwards so much, why didn't he draft Giannis in 2013? Instead he drafted that putz Olynyk. So he whiffed on that as well. The Celts scouting department deserves blame for that as well.

If Ainge didn't foresee Giannis being this good, then he wasn't doing his job, was he?

So  you are saying we need BIGS?

I don't think Danny can control what the media writes. The sports media today are lying, exaggerating, children,

we used to have a team that instigated things, now they sit around and react.....too late...season over.
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

this is soooo a coaching issue... it's not even close.

I do agree we could use some bigs... but we're limited in our options because our coach only wants bigs that can shoot 3's. rebounding and defense aren't important...

ainge has set this team up according to coach's philosophy and brought talent to this team. not sure how we can blame ainge here, unless he's not asking coach "what's the deal!?!?!" if he's sittin here pattin coach on the back then I say he's the problem too.

also, all this talent and all we do is feature morris…?

team is cooked and it started with the coaching philosophy and then he lost the team when he started hayward, everything else is just noise.

as soon as the right people admit this to themselves the sooner this gets fixed.

Jaylen needs to start and be a go to option down the stretch.

How could Ainge be responsible because of his "pursuit of Anthony Davis" when the team can't even trade for him until July?

we need a first class center and DA is working to get us one ,  we were just barely keeping our heads above water with Baynes . So without him Celtics are flat out drowning.

DA s plan has to come though this summer or its a royal mess .

absolutely dannys fault.  team chemistry this bad with nba players can only be dealt with by shaking up the locker room.

Ainge deserves approximately 0% of the blame. He did an absolutely masterful job of constructing this team, it's not his fault the chemistry is wet garbage.
