yeah we need a center. could questa be a viable 2nd stringer at the 5 spot. wonder if we keep garzilla as a 3rd stringer at the 5.


We always need a center ,  but the FO never thinks so.

I wonder if Horford now regrets leaving Boston (again). Warriors are 10-10, look discombobulated and Curry is likely gonna miss at least the next 1-2 weeks as well.

Horford would have easily been the best big man here and helped the C's, maybe even adding 2 wins to our total (maybe 12-6 instead of 10-8). Plus JT could come back in March-April but even if not, he still could have been a nice piece off the bench on our next championship core at low money

Hard to say, but in fairness it wasn't apples to apples.  The Celts offered him the minimum.

I never understood him choosing the Warriors, though.

I can't blame him for chasing the money, let's be honest a lot of us have changed jobs for the money. We're fans, so we expect loyalty from players to the team we love...but this is their job. And our loyalty to players only lasts until they start sucking. The it's "ship him out, trade this bum!"  :police:

That said, I would be lying if I wasn't feeling some schadenfreude at poor Al's travails on the other side of the country...he's bricking it at 30% from the floor, he's been injured more often than not, and his team is struggling. Maybe Lucky the Leprechaun cursed him on his way out  :angel:

I need him to be more assertive, especially on the glass.  Don't be a decoration.  Three boards in fifteen minutes isn't lovely. 

That said, I'm at the point with this big rotation that I'm more interested in seeing the "unknown but probably not" out there on the court than the "lol nah".  IMO we already know that Garza isn't a rotation big in this league.  Seen enough.  Tillman too.  Seen enough.  Williams, at least, has the size and agility to potentially play in this league.  So throw him out there for a while and see what he learns.

I have been wondering the same thing.

Oh well we were going to have to move on from him at some point anyway, so I am trying to take a long term mature perspective about this - how am I doing?  :)

Happy Turkey Day to those celebrating!!

What I find crazy is that Amari is about to turn 24 in January.

For a reasonably old rookie, he is extremely raw. Obviously the Celtics have a drafting formula and he must fit into the equation, but I am perplexed as to how much growth can be achieved at his age.
after watching what the celtics have done with walsh, hauser, kornet, and queta maybe quite a bit.

Amari has come a long way since summer league.  But still a way to go.  I still like him.  Like how he moves on the court.  Good natural defense instincts.

That is a disheartening loss for Minnesota against OKC. OKC now 18-1. MIN drop to 10-8.

Disheartening because it was a repetition of their problems in the playoffs against OKC last year.

* Randle continued to struggle against OKC's trapping defense / aggressive guards. Randle has been superb this season. Last night only 10pts on 2-13 FG.
* MIN have their big backcourt with DiVincenzo and Ant. No PG. DiVincenzo only 11pts. Conley 2pts in 13min off bench. Jaylen Clark scorless in 7min. So minimal contributions from any of the guards around Ant.
* MIN 14 turnovers to OKC's 7 turnovers
* SGA cooked them again. 40pts on 12-19 FG and 15-17 FTA. 6 ast and 3stl against only 1 turnover.
* No J-Dub for OKC. So they will get stronger. MIN still couldn't win.
* Scoreline flatters MIN due to 7-7 FG of Terrence Shannon off the bench. Their main guys didn't get it done except for Ant. Randle 10pts. DiVincenzo 11pts. J McDaniels 10pts. Naz was okay at 12pts in 24min on 4-11 FGA. Ant 31pts 8rb 5ast.

Transaction Ideas and Rumors / Re: Centers Possibly Available

I think it likely that Brad goes for another low cost under the radar development type that is languishing on someone?s bench, ala Queta in Sacramento.  My money is on an attempt To pry Day?Ron Sharpe from Brooklyn.
