Celtics Regular Season Thread 2026-27

I thought Hugo played well until Joe took him and forgot about him.

Joe took him?! Where!

It's best not to say.

This game vs Houston showed that we?re not there (yet) with the upper tier teams in the NBA this year. It?s now up to Brad if he?s satisfied with an overachieving scrappy team or if he decides to make a move to transform us into legit contenders. We still have a huge TPE expiring in Feb i think. Mitch Rob has been a failure so far, and if he doesn?t fix things he just might get shipped by the deadline. His rebounding has been poor and his defensive impact really lacking. I hope it?s just him adjusting to a new team. The Clippers pick, TPE?we have the assets to improve our current team. It just a matter of how ownership is willing to spend i guess? If there?s a deal to be made using these assets which transforms us into legit contenders, i hopr Brad takes a swing at it. Let?s not waste a year of prime JT.

shoulda shipped hugo off with brown for giannis. huge mistake. that guy is not impressing at all. m rob is atrocious. may need to move some guys at trade deadline.

center rotation is trash. white may need to be traded.

I disagree...Q and Garza are both playing well.  Agree that Robinson has not played up to his clippings.

Q has his strengths and some weaknesses he has to address. garza seems ok for 3rd string. maybe i expect too much. the rebounding at times was atrocious

Garza has been a pleasant surprise but Robinson is single-handedly dragging that unit to trash level in my opinion. He is doing nothing well to my eye.

Derrick White is challenging my general faith that hes doing great things on the floor that Im just not noticing.

[Vermont Green]

This team still has not gelled.  White, Robinson, Pritchard, all starting slow. Then add the B2B on the road, without PG, vs a good team.  Yeah, not a surprising outcome.

I think BOS will come around, but it was not going to be last night. 

[Jiri Welsch]

Last night felt like a scheduled loss. The terrible shooting cemented it.

Tatum seems to be accepting that his shot is not elite, and has found a way to change the way he gets points.

Someone besides PG and Tatum needs to step up consistently.

game was there for the taking most all game. PG was out and we still coulda won which i guess is a positive?

only issue is we cannot have PG out and then 3 guys not even show up

d white
PP
hauser

just terrible play. missed wide open shots all night. cannot blame joe for that.

not like they were forcing contested shots. we have no rim presence. Q got some points but the overall 5 position leaves much to be desired.  you really see what horford and a healthy KP brought to that position.

[SparzWizard]

Yeah we can't depend on D White and Hauser to be our third offensive scoring threat. D White has regressed even more than last year and now you don't have JB, what's his excuse now?

Package 'em up and see what's out there.
