Good job, good effort. Just couldn't pull it out because of old legs. All Danny needs to do is retool. Find an impact player who will help us on the quest for banner 18. Long shot but not impossible.

I want this team to remain intact. With a healthy Rondo and Sully next year, we can go deeper in the playoffs. Reduce PP and KG's role so they can get a breather.

Trade Crawford and resign Barbosa. We don't need another headcase.

who knows when rondo and sully will be back to 100%

PP looks done .....

I think it's time to move the old guys or let them retire

I agree with this. I love Paul and KG but lets be real this windows closed. It's time to build around our younger pieces until we can contend again. Running it back with these guys a year older is just asking for another first round exit, if that. I don't want to base our future off what ifs...

Like I said, we need to reduce the role of PP and KG. Pierce being 6th man and KG with lesser minutes or at least some help on the defensive end.

Yes, it's all up to our luck. I hope Danny is planning something big in the offseason.

There are franchise players who took a backseat in order to win a championship. Having Pierce and KG as our first option won't do it anymore.

  • A true Celtic plays with heart.
Let's not.

It was one of my most proudest moments we came back from 20. We shown that its never too late to count us out. But this time, the tired legs of KG/PP fell through, and couldn't push it.


I will say the future looks like its in good hands...

Avery Bradley stepped it up this game, going for 10 pts, and 3 steals alone in the 4th quarter. I'm glad he stepped it up, I sort of sensed it today as a premonition.

T-Will needs to STAY. Despite his mistakes tonight, and losing JR Smith twice. He can still upgrade his defense, and honestly he set up Terry/Paul for 2 nice shots that should've gone in. T-Will can also guard Felton easily. I think that's why Avery Bradley was all out of juice last game, because he was getting banged up.

Jeff Green what else can I say? He stepped it up big time in the 4th, but due to some dumb fouls, and a missed three could've really led us. Not to mention if he had made the 3 FT's he missed, it could've helped us also.

I hope we keep this young core, and try to trade Pierce/KG. Get some value, or re-structure their contracts, so we can afford to get younger and better talent.

If not then Danny has pull the trigger, especially if its the good of the public, and organization.

I enjoyed this ride, it may be the last of the Big 3 Era, but I'm proud to have witnessed heart in this final playoff series.

Highly unlikely we make the playoffs next year... I'm strongly in favor of tanking for wiggins

If we are going to do this ONE FINAL STAND then we need a big that first, Doc would play and second can block shots.

I think Paul abd KG still have enough in the tank to atleast guide the young bloods. Rondo will be healthy, Jeff will blossom even more with a bigger role and Sully comes back and he's at worst a very good backup PF.

We need a smart roster change first. We still have enough for another, FINAL run.

How so? Rondo will be back. Green will be back. This team will not be bad enough to land a #1 draft pick

While I would like Andrew Wiggins for us, we are too good to be on the top 5 of the lottery.

I say we use everything we can outside of Rondo, Green and Bass (yeah I said it) to move up and get Shabbazz Muhammad.

With all his problems, his potential is sky high and he's more than enough if he develops as projected.

He's mocked at around 7-15, we have pick 16, certainly we have some people we can use to move up.

if we can trade pp,,terry , lee and bass for expiring contracts and picks we can
