We have youth at every position in the rotation, I expect Doc to restrict everyone's minutes even more and give JJJ, Sullinger and Melo chances to play at some point in the season.

I love the formula, use veterans to help bring the youth along slowly and only play them when they are ready.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

Definitely are, a very real risk to implode with a cascade of injuries.

But we're also still a title threat (not a favorite, Miami is a clear and away favorite). Hard to ask for more than being a title threat from your basketball team. We were favorites for a glorious 1.5 year window, and haven't given an inch without clawing all the way since.

Exactly. And we're already stacked this year. Hopefully Ray resigns, and then we have the depth necessary for title hopes. Just need a big man or 2 and a Jeff Green and it's all gooood.
My pic is now, and will be Fab Melo until he posts his first official NBA dbl-dbl. This may be permanent.

I have been saying this for a while
Keep the Big 3, but let them play on the bench

Just imagine, 3 new people in the starting lineup, gives them more experience and playing time. Plus it would finally make the Celtics play faster, and not tire out in the 4th quarter when its time to win the game

Melo, Jeff Green, and Avery Bradley should take their place in the starting lineup

Guess what...WHY would doc do anything different then this year...play the big 3 to death, rondo, steamer or wilcox...then bradley.....all the other rookies and even non- rookies sit forever...unless we are ahead by 30 with 3 minutes left..then they get to play, and learn the system..becasue they don't practice......sooooo, here we go again.......

Have to agree, Doc over plays the old guys, drives them into the ground. We are much older than I'd like to be in the case of the guys Doc is going to play.

Do I have to watch this team not rebound again? I'm not sure I can deal with that, my wife will hate me when I'm screaming "don't be such a *&%%$, get of your ass and grab a #&^%#$@ rebound!"
