Celtics (4-1) at Cavaliers (2-4) Game #6 11/5/19

[Scottiej23]

Gotta be the best game of Gordo’s career, right?

Celtic career, by far.

[tstorey_97]

Walker "off night" = 25 points 8 rebounds

[mobilija]

Exciting game! Cavs fought hard but our stars were just too good in the end. Hayward was awesome.

TPS to all!!

[Fierce1]

Ainge should've just drafted Goga Bitadze.

you sure thats not a type of jock itch ?

Javonte, an undrafted player, got play in the 2nd qtr.

Romeo, a lottery pick, is in Maine.

Bitadze is a Center.
A Center is what the Celts need.
Not that hard to figure out.

You dont draft for need. Besides, romeo was drafted for his ceiling. What they do in their first years is basically a wash.

Ceiling?

Romeo does not have good shooting mechanics.

It's almost as if there are many other things about a player that gives them a high ceiling.

Drafting a shooting guard with shooting problems?

Oh boy yet another hilarious take. Shooting guard position is not only for shooters. Derozan became an all-star FYI.

The point is Romeo was not the best player available.

Alexander-Walker was available.

That's entirely your opinion. Our front office clearly think differently

True.

But right now the front office is not looking good.

It's looking like Ainge drafting JR Giddens!

Are you seriously already comparing him to a bust? Do people even think before they speak?

I'm not saying Romeo is a bust.

What I'm saying is the Celts could have done better.

Sure you aren't. You just happen to bring up a bust when talking about Romeo. I'm saying you're incredibly wrong. It's Robert Upshaw all over again.

Too early to tell.

But best player available at that time was not Romeo.

Alexander-Walker was ranked higher.

Well, ****. If someone was ranked higher, then Ainge definitely made a mistake. When are pre-draft ranking ever wrong? 

Danny is such a bum, he should've drafted Fultz because he was ranked higher!

Ainge is not perfect.

Olynyk instead of Giannis is just one example.

Are you sure? Because Giannis only had 16 points (and 2 DNPs) in his team's first 6 games after being drafted, while Kelly had 49.  And as you already established, the forst 6 games of a player's career defines how good the pick was

It doesnt add up. Based on what I call, the Fierce metrics, Olynyk is the right pick because he scored more than Giannis in their first 6 games. By that same metric though, Tatum was the right pick over Fultz. But then again he also said to pick the higher ranked guy, so Fultz should be the right pick.

Like I said, Ainge is not perfect.

But my question to you is if a person disagrees with your opinion, does that make the person an idiot?

[RockinRyA]

If Kemba didnt steal the ball we couldve given Gordy his Forty when they foul intentionally. Oh well, a win is a win!

[keevsnick]

Looking at his shot chart Gordon was 16/16 from two, with 6/6 at the rim and 10/10 from 3-10ft (rough estimate).

[azzenfrost]

A win. Thanks for hanging out guys and gals.

[Chef Parish]

Didn't see Wannamaker getting 21 minutes prior to the game

[BringToughnessBack]

TOs to all...5-1 Celtics...

.

That was a great game by anybody’s standard.

[Vox_Populi]

Cavs defense is suspect and they have no real 3 besides Osman, but Hayward looked in control the whole time. Terrific game.

[Rosco917]

I'm glad to see Caren Edwards breakout of his little funk too. However, It was only a matter of time.

[kraidstar]

I'm pretty sure, some people will have something negative to complain about. "iTs JuSt tHe CaVs" yeah, but look at the Lakers right now down more than 15 against the lowly Bulls.

Good.

Let's hope they don't cough it up like Dallas the other night.

It depends on how bad that person's take is.

[Fierce1]

Right now Goga is starting for the Pacers and has played 31 minutes.

The game is going to overtime and Goga has 6 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks.

Again, the point is Ainge could have done better.
