I know Kemba has been better lately, but how much better would this team be with a playmaker deluxe PG and Aaron Baynes still on the team with money left over to have acquired a killer shooter ?

Man, it does not feel like Stevens has been here for 600 games.  Feels like not so long ago we hired him away from Butler. 

Time flies, I guess.

Does Romeo even attend games?
Like Juliet, you can only see him from the balcony (seats) ;)

This Romeo has been awol I doubt even Juliet gets to see him.
probably why she's always calling out "wherefore art thou Romeo?"

Romeo Langford true to his first name?
tp for knowing more Shakespeare than me.  ;D

Not sure about that...TP right back!

For his first 20 games or so all Teague would do is "defer" and pass it back to one of the J's...somebody talked to him and now it seems he drives a lot more for a bucket or two.

Kevin Durant spends his first pick on Kyrie over Harden....what a joke. That coupled with him not playing gives the East a much weaker team.

Very nice Teague
i dont know what happened to change his playing, but he is finally playing like we expected him to play. great.

Heck of a pass by Tatum, and good hands by Timelord.

Tatum is now wrestling rebounds from TL? What a hog.

Grant Williams spanks Toronto.  I don't really know why, but it has happened over a statistically-significant number of games now.  He's better against the Raptors than pretty much everybody else.

Grant - 12 minutes 5 for 6 and 13 points

Should give him 3 or 4 games off more often.

very nice third quarter by the celtics. glad to see the Js are playing well.

and Gwill is playing more like last year. that helps a lot.

Aron Baynes has been playing terribly this season. I don't think we're missing too much.

Yeah, I know a large block of posters here hate Grant, but he is just a second year player and only 22. Consistency will come.

His upside is way higher than Semi. One won't be here next year, my guess is it will be Semi that's gone as Grant gets more consistent with more playing time.
