Danny Ainge finally creates a CelticsStrong account

Or comes out of hiding with a pre-existing one.

He can't ever admit to having one because it'd be a CBA violation

Pacers trade Miles Turner and a lottery protected 1st to the Celts (into the TPE) in a salary dump :)

This is a sacrifice he will be willing to make for the glory of being a CS forum god.

Grant Williams has at least one month where he averages double figures in points scored.
Yup

Phosita suggests Grant Williams gets "starter's minutes" by mid season...what with injuries and the like.

I agree and this is why...his college stats at Tenn were legit. Grant is not an all defense hit a "couple of shots" NBA guy.

No, the Celtics starters will not give him a lot of shots, but, he averaged 16.3 ppg through the SEC tournament and 4 rounds of the NCAA's (Lost to Edwards and Purdue).

He is an asset on defense. He calls the defense sometimes when Smart isn't on the court  for crying out loud.

My point is if "it is on him" when he is on the court he excels. I say he gets a lot more minutes than anyone expects.

Not a rookie anymore.

Jayson Tatum becomes one of the youngest players in NBA history to make an All-Defensive team and All-NBA team in the same season.

C's lose in ECF and blame injuries as the excuse again.

Brad Stevens gets fired at the end of the season if they get an early playoff exit.

But I actually stand by that. You don't simply lose year after year after year like that.

Kyrie Irving won't give dubious answers in the first month of the season!

Jokes aside, Jaylen Brown will become a top 20 player in the league.

Brad isn’t getting fired. We are certainly in the mix, but I wouldn’t call us favorites by any means.

The only season I can really say we underperformed is 2018. I DO put blame on Brad for that, as he couldn’t adequately handle Kyrie (and others like Rozier, Morris, etc).

But every other year, they either met or exceeded expectations, especially given the injuries each and every postseason.
