No!

“Fans will return to TD Garden on Monday to watch the Celtics for the first time in over a year, but they'll have to wait to see Jaylen Brown.

The All-Star guard is out for Boston's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans due to a hip contusion, the team announced Monday.”

So do we know when Fournier will start playing for us yet?

Danny should have went for Oladipo instead

Traded Smart for him

[Roy H.]

Worst player ever.  Replace him with Waters!

Gotta love the overreactions. Literally hasn’t had a single practice with the team. Brad needs to run some plays for him early against Dallas on Wednesday. Get his confidence up.

You need team practice to hit open shots?

Cmon now

Explain Korndog play then

No one is saying that this will hold (I certainly think he'll be pretty good for us). But he's really not the 19PPG guy you lot were expecting.

Oh please, nobody asked him to put 19ppg on the board just hit jumpers. And yes before you act all high and mighty and mouth off some smart aleck post, yes he had a bad game.

Seems like a fine pick-up for two 2nd rounders, but I also thought we were contenders this year, so what do I know?

I'm not sure what the plan is here. I know Danny is obsessed with wings, but I don't see a great fit here unless Fournier is good coming off the bench.  In the event that he is, and jaded from being on a poor team, maybe he can be signed on a reasonable contract in the offseason.

Every "Sharpshooter" C's acquire, can't throw it in the ocean for us...LOL @ Jason Terry giving his insights during the game---he was one of these guys.

He put up 19ppg on good efficiency as a second option.  That makes him a “19 ppg guy”.

Who was Ray Allen then?

In the regular season. He's never been close to that in the playoffs.

A lot of people were saying how amazing a guy like Fournier was as a 6'7 wing who can play on or off the ball at a high level and add significant bite to our attack - that's a far cry from wanting him to hit open jumpshots and provide some dynamism on the ball when attacking closeouts or being an emergency PnR ballhandler (which is what I expected from him, still a good player and a massive upgrade on our bench wings), and a bad game doesn't change that.
