Terrible Nets offense down the stretch. Just bad iso after bad iso by Dinwiddie and LeVert down the stretch.

They really got reliant on throwing lobs to DJ as a focal point of their offence, lol.

At least Miami lost!

I am reading the Rockets can outright sign Morris preventing him from signing with the Lakers (using a trade exception). Why wouldn't they do this?

The Rockets would have to claim his current contract off the waiver wire.  While trade exceptions cannot be used to sign free agent contracts, they can be used to claim players off waivers.  The Rockets would have priority over the Lakers if they both made waiver claims, which is how they could block them.  Once the player clears waivers, though, there is nothing the Rockets could do, the choice is belongs to Morris at that point.

Ainge must really like this Celtics team a lot because he totally made no moves to upgrade the roster.

Not even for bench help or a player with playoff experience.

I was just looking at Miami's roster, holy moly they have upgraded. With Nunn, Robinson both legitimate starters, and Adebayo, Butler, and Olynyk as the others - their bench looks like this:

Iguodala
Crowder
Dragic
Jones Jr
Herro
Solomon Hill

Hopefully it will be Sixers and Miami in the first round so that the Celts will not have to face both of those teams.

Kemba Walker out for tomorrow vs Lakers.

Huge blow. I really wish these guys can stop participating in these All-Star events.

I had serious doubt he would play once I read that he had a Synvisc Injection to the knee just this week.

It was bound to happen eventually. I doubt he plays on this road trip now. 2-2 would be a win.

Did anyone see Embiid laboring around like he was in his late 30's just now? That's why I changed my stance on who's more tradeable, Embiid or Simmons. Availability is the best ability.

[Briantir]

Joel Embidd is HILARIOUS omg this man calls himself the best player and throws a circus show like this... Man my opinion of him has changed I'd dump Joel Embidd and dump Bret brown and let it be the Ben Simmons show with shooters and cutters.

Kemba being out is good for the young guys.

Some of the Celtic losses, especially late in the 4th, is due to Kemba's penchant for taking "all in" shots.

I think it's best if the Celts preserve Kemba for the playoffs.
