However with the rise of Jordan Walsh and Minott I think surprisingly enough we have that position covered.

I am thinking the same thing now.    Take the Best Player available.   If we can turn Simmons into something and get Tatum back this year, we have had some guys step up and develop.

I was very happy when I saw this final score vs the Lakers.
Then I read that LeBron and Doncic sat out.
Still glad to get the win, but would have been much more satisfying against a full Lakers roster.

Celts had been shooting less 3-pointers lately, which I was glad to see, but the last two games, they have been red-hot and are back in the 40+ attempts.
It's great when those 3's are falling. The problem, as we have seen repeatedly, is when we are not making them and have no other offensive scheme to go to.

Lebron's 10 point streak ends. That was insane. 1,297 games. HOLY

I saw the streak started before the Iphone launched, and before Rodgers threw his first TD. Also Flagg was 15 days old.

Love him or hate him, his longevity is simply astounding.

The streak ended before... Embiid made a conference finals  :-X

One of the neater ones I saw was that Chris Paul was the reigning Rookie of the Year when Lebron's streak started.

It's an amazing stat, but it has the plastic-like feel of Barry Bonds' baseball career. An all-time great who modified his body so wildly that it's hard to judge what any of it means.

Jalen Johnson had 20pts 18reb 16ast 2stl in a 1pt loss to the Nuggets. That is a monster stat line.

Aday Mara out of Michigan could fit very nicely as a center.  He is huge, knows how to play drop coverage and defend without fouling (mostly - wings who dare to challenge him on a drive sometimes frustrate him the 1 in 3 times he doesn?t block their shot), and is an elite passer.  ESPN currently has him at 24, which may be closer to the range we pick at than many would have believed at the start of the season.

Also, they have been teaching him the Kornet contest.

If you've watched Michigan this year, you've probably seen Aday Mara "contesting" 3-pointers by jumping vertically while standing in the paint.

Dusty May explained it's something they picked up from the Boston Celtics and tried to implement last year.

"Luke Kornet was doing it. The Celtics had some tricky schemes where they put their best, Robert Williams and then Kornet, they put him on whoever's in the corner, and so he could roam and make plays, and so he was naturally going to be behind the play. And you jump, like these guys are doing, just to distort vision and cause a reaction."

Wonder if Horford is having buyers remorse right now.

Though we probably don?t see Walsh develop if horford was here taking his minutes.

Second time Al has made a mistake in leaving.  I wonder if he gets traded at the deadline and agrees to a buyout.  He would still be better than Garza, Tillman, and Boucher.

Is he even allowed to come back to the Celtics this season? Also, it's really becoming similar to PHI/OKC where his role is iffy, and he's just missing games due to random injuries. At least here he had a real role and could get consistent minutes and opportunities

Yeah, he left as a free agent when his contract ended.  We are free to trade for him (unlikely) or sign him if he?s waived (also unlikely but more likely than it would have appeared two months ago).
