Good call by C2021.  Reports they signed Shula for the rest of the season. Wonder why only a 10 day for Bassey?

Hate to be Machiavellian about it, but in case he gets hurt, or someone else gets hurt.  If they need someone different they cannot afford to release Bassey if they sign him for a rest of season deal now.  Most likely he gets a second 10-day and then a rest of season, but they have to keep their flexibility.

I had to look up what it means to be Machiavellian.  I agree, it probably applies.

It makes sense I guess.  I believe that the cost of a couple of 10-day contracts plus a rest of season contract once those are done would be the same as a rest of season contract starting now.  Is that correct?  So if the cost is the same, why not keep the flexibility as you describe.

In the end, I don't expect Shugla or Bassey to play all that much, not even in the regular season much less in the playoffs.  So if Bassey gets hurt, does it really matter?  I respect that the BOS Front Office is really working to get the most out of every roster dollar, I just don't think in this case it is going to make much difference.

I remember being surprised that they could not find a spot for Bassey. I liked him in SL.

This article is titled The Truth Behind the Success: Inside the Celtics Maniacal Film Study, Starting With a One-of-a-Kind Session. Tell me more about what that?s like. I think that?s maybe more rare than what you?re used to in the organizations you?ve played for. It came to me as a surprise that you guys do that. Derrick White: No, I?ve never done it before. This is the first time. Usually, the coaches kind of tell you who?s starting and tell you who you?re guarding. Joe was like, Alright, you guys are going to tell me who?s going to start and what the matchups are. So everybody was kind of quiet for a second, like, What do you mean?? He was like, Yeah, talk amongst yourselves. Who should start? What should the matchups be? What are we thinking? How is this going to go throughout the game? How can we change different things?? I think that?s the dope part about Joe, how much he trusts us. He wants us to think differently.

so....proof Joe doesn't know what he's doing and asking everyone else to tell him how to coach?

Hah!  I don?t think so. Sounds like a strategy to use with a mature, high bbiq team.  I think the proof is the pudding. It?s worked.  I?m unclear if this is an every game conversation (I doubt it) or a one time meeting where he thought it might be useful to put players in a coaches mindset. And, to give them voice. This is motivational for the right players and I don?t think is evidence of a coach who doesn?t know what they are doing. Either way the lineups and matchups have been determined, the Celtics have won a lot of games and done so without their superstar.

Wrong thread.

Oh, no he didn?t..

Moments earlier, Parish had raved about Mazzulla?s performance as coach of the Celtics while comparing the current team to the championship squads of the 1980s. Parish, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2003, racked up three championships with Boston. I think the two eras? coaching philosophies, or whatever you want to call it, mirror one another, Parish said. They have the right coach in place. Because that?s where it starts: with the coach. And the team has definitely taken on Joe?s personality: that toughness, grinding out on both ends of the court, take no prisoners (mentality). I like the fact that another area they mirror us in, they play hard, they play smart and they play together. And I like that."

Vucevic?s injury required him to undergo surgery, and his initial timeframe to return was about three-to-four weeks. The good thing is I can still do some stuff on the court, Vucevic said, via the Boston Globe. That will help me for when I come back (to be in) shape, and hopefully I get a couple games before the playoffs, get back in rhythm with the guys that week between regular season and playoffs, everything is going as smoothly as possible.

The timing was unfortunate, but it sounds like Vucevic could return to the lineup in the near future. So far I haven?t had much pain or anything; everything has been going well, he said. The swelling is coming down and been working the range of motion. So hopefully the X-ray is clean at three weeks and I can start doing some stuff and just getting back to being comfortable and building strength in the hand. -Booth Newspapers

Garza has looked great over the last two months, but I still sneaky think Vucevic is going to have an impact in the playoffs, even if in a Horford-type bench role. The guy is still capable of putting up double-doubles rather easily and I think his veteran experience can help if Queta/Garza get in foul trouble or have some issues, and Vuc will probably be motivated to go on a deep run too since he's never been past the first round in his career.
