Celtics (15-15) at Mavericks (13-15) Game #31 2/23/21

I’d trade Tatum and Brown for Doncic so fast it isn’t even funny. Luka is a top 5 player. Tatum and Brown are not.

Somebody would tell you to calm down but tbh...I think I would do that trade too.

I’d do Tatum and Kemba but leave my man Brown out of this... but they’d laugh at that so never mind.

Which happens first - Smart returns or Brad gets fired?

Smart returns first because Ainge will never fire his binkie Brad Stevens.

Unless Wyc finally steps in.

Wyc defended Brad over the players

He will trade anyone on the roster before Brad is fired

Agree, Brads not going anywhere. He’s built too much equity with Wyc and Danny over the years, it would take years of missing the playoffs or some catastrophic thing  to put him at risk

I already made a thread regarding this

Trade Tatum and Walker for SGA,  Dort,  John Collins and 4 1sts, 2 swaps

This type of basketball/effort is unacceptable

How they show up in the Atlanta game tomorrow is gonna be very interesting.

Brad bought those pictures from Olynyk.

Brad just said that being in foul trouble for 3/4 of the 4th quarter was a killer

Brad's not going anywhere.  C's would have to wind up at the bottom of the standings this season with good health before the club gives that a momentary thought

Agreed, and it’s really unfortunate and a major problem for our organization.

Brad isn’t solely to blame - I think Danny shares some blame too with not getting a better supporting cast around the Jays, ones that can mentor and support them - but Brad has done a very poor job with managing this team and we’re playing way below our skill level. This is a very young team that needs a lot of accountability and leadership, and Brad isn’t providing that. I think they’ve largely tuned him out, especially the Jays who seem determined to win things on their own.

Its incredible how guys like Luka,  Young extract so much from their less than stellar roster

I envy these talents

[Uncle_Stingfinger]

i dont know how anyone thinks any coach is winning with this scrub roster.   ainge needs to go.  someone else needs to take a look at how to go forward.

I guess the key is his extension. Owners don't want to pay coaches for not coaching and I'm assuming he's making at least $4 million a season for X years.  Have they ever publicized the terms?

But running this same team and coaching staff out there night after night and expecting things to drastically improve is at best wishful thinking and very possibly a major mistake for the future of this team.

Agree re: the effort and body language is bad too.
My mental block on this comes from when you see the Tatum magic when he  has it going on. I just want to believe so bad!

I also agree completely with the other comments about the stars not trusting the rooks/role players enough. The only way they’ll learn to make the shots is by missing some of them.

All I hear now is blah blah blah

It doesn't matter anymore

nothing changes

[jambr380]

Tough loss. Doncic was actually very pedestrian shooting the ball before those last two 3s. It sucks that we didn't show up for most of the game, but I was happy seeing Kemba come alive and Jaylen playing very efficiently.

Tomorrow's another day - guess we just have to keep on trying to figure it out.

[NKY fan]

So we have garbage roster but everyone is in love with timelord , Romeo, Pritchard and nesmith... how does that work ? This gotta be the most garbage team with the most untouchables at the same time lol
