We should be happy with a win today guys, calm down.  We're missing two of our top three players.  Most teams in the league would struggle given that circumstance

I really like Nick Young.

I think he and Rondo would be great together in the backcourt.

I don't like how little he gives other than scoring ability. 
I think he could become neutral on defense.

Man-to-man defense is much improved from his early years. Team defense is really poor but playing on a high quality defensively orientated team could help him grow. I like his chances of becoming an average defender after some time in a good environment.

Quality scoring punch + average defense ... with negative contributions via very poor passing and rebounding.

You know your wing situation is weak when Jordan Crawford guards Pierce in crunch time.

Pierce with 33/7/10 tonight on only 14 FG attempts. Definitely the reason we're in this game.

Disappointing that even without Rondo and Ray how useless KG has been

Washington is just too poorly coached to close a team like us out.

We're winning, today

I'd like to have some scorers / shot-creators with Rondo.

If the Celtics can't find enough high quality offensively gifted All-Star caliber talent to couple with Rondo ... someone like Nick Young could end up being a valuable alternative.

Likewise for Orlando and Dwight Howard. Facilitator (Dwight) with scoring role player (N.Young).

I don't even know if it's really the coaching. The players just all seem to have very low bball IQ's
