The Boston Celtics franchise is in a fix.
Last night I knew we were fighting two problems. #1. It was a Nationally televised game. (You could tell, everyone had special hair)
#2. It was in La La Land and the stars were out.
34 hollow points, desperate passing leading to 5 turn overs. Standing around on offense waiting for the ball to swing to him so he could go ISO. He has NO idea what moving without the freaking ball is! He's been trying to become a more well rounded player of late...well last night he regressed big time. Mark my words, In 2024-25 when he's an unrestricted free agent, he'll put out feelers to the LA Lakers. We'll hear him say the words. "This is a dream come true" when he signs with them.
He's 25 years old, I think he likes Boston, he has a good head on his shoulders, he plays at a fast pace, he a very good three point shooter, he gets to the rim at will and has made himself a solid finisher. He has the mid-range fallaway down-pat. He's much more than just a solid defender. His passing skills need attention, but that will come. He's flat-out dangerous in the open court.
But... HE JUST CAN'T STAY HEALTHY long enough settle-in long term to lead this lost team.
The Boston Celtics franchise is in a fix.
