Time for a change?

I don't think you worry about the West. And OKC are going to have their own problems trying to keep that team together.

You just worry about your own conference. So can a Tatum / Jaylen tandem lead a team over the best teams in the East? Heck yes!!! That is why you do not break them up.

they lost to the Sixers. THE SIXERS.  AN INJURED SIXERS TEAM.  the team is done contending. They have no shot. They can't even beat Philly where Embiid plays in just 4 games.

I do not understand why they just do not keep JB and shop Hauser for a depth guard and just sign a center in FA and build around White, Brown, JT and PP.

Brad must have marching orders to get off JB's contract.

maybe Brad doesn't want to lose early in the playoffs again.  Boston isn't a contender right now.

They aren't a contender trading him for spare parts either. Making a deal for Sharpe and Grant doesn't get them out of round one. They might be in the play in tournament with that.

I do not like Brown. I wanted him traded for Giannis. But I just do not see any deal that has been reported that makes the Celtics better.

Keeping him and adding around the margins makes them more competitive than JT, White, no big and 2 bums from Portland.

Yeah I'm confused. Okay, replace Jaylen with 2 of Sharpe/Scoot/Camara. That makes us a Finals threat?? I don't see how. Maybe if it's Clingan and more but it doesn't seem to be the case. And these other ideas are similar, role players + picks. Not seeing it at all.

Yeah...Sharpe, Grant and none of the Bucks picks do not interest me at all. That feels like a major step back.

They didn't lose because Tatum & Jaylen aren't able to win. They lost because the supporting cast isn't good enough. They can improve the supporting cast. Keep Tatum & Jaylen together and improve the supporting cast.

As someone else said, forget Horford, if we even had Aaron Baynes in that series to defend Joel Embiid we would have won it.

There is huge scope for improvement in the supporting cast.

They also lost because our coach didn't make an adjustment in the first six games.

Keep JB, improve the coaching staff.

Yeah the frontcourt was terrible. It was pretty brutal watching them having to go smallball out of necessity especially that Game 7. There were absolutely other issues, but that felt very noticeable. And lets face it, the rest of the NBA has formidable frontcourts. Either a superstar big (Jokic, Embiid, Wemby, etc.) or a legit duo (KAT-Robinson, Hartenstein-Chet, Mobley-Allen, Giannis-Bam, etc.). The C's made or won the Finals with 2 of Timelord/Horford/Porzingis with Kornet as a 3rd ish guy.

They lost because they kept settling for and bricking 3's and didn't attack the rim more. Game 5 and Game 7.
