Daniel Theis another DNP.

Apparently coach Stevens doesn't need him.

Even Yabusele got playing time over Theis.

So every player who gets a DNP for a game or two should be cut because every player plays every game or they are not valuable. Maybe Theis is nursing an injury - he was expected to be out much longer than he was. Not valid reasoning.

Theis was playing great last year before he good hurt. If he can get back to that level he will be a very nice asset. We need his rebounding and defense.

I can't remember someone drawing so many off-ball fouls. Reminds me of Leon Powe. He puts himself in spots that make the other team uncomfortable. I love it.

Yabusele got playing time because the Celtics needed to put someone with bulk on Julius Randle. In any case cutting Theis won't impact their payroll at all he's getting paid just around 1m if I recall correctly.

Cutting guaranteed contracts never has a positive effect on your payroll. It just creates dead money, and then if you sign someone to replace them they get added to your payroll
I'm bitter.

Unfortunately it did not work well as Yabu is soft and despite his bulk he is a finesse player.

We definitely should cut Daniel Theis...some slack!  Coming back from injury is not easy.

All right, I'll admit it.   :P

I just don't understand why we're not using Theis (more). He has shown to be a very solid player, but he gets very few minutes and the last two games he didn't play at all. Maybe he's still injured, but he wasn't noted to be inactive, so what's going on?

TP's for everyone for supporting Daniel Theis  8)

And a tp for you for honesty. Yeah,their should get more minutes. He might still be injured.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

and he was +50. I dont remember ever seeing someone at +50 in a game (I'm sure it has happened but it can't be all that common).

I believe I heard that +50 is third highest in NBA history (said in Post-game analysis). I can't confirm it though.  Either way it was an impressive night from Theis and his stat-line speaks to that.

Do you think Ainge agrees to an A. Davis for D. Theis trade? I dont think Davis+Mirotic cuts it, NO probably has to add future picks.

Theis had ACL surgery at the end of March. He has made a remarkable recovery.
