Celtics (7-14) at Sixers (2-21) Game #22 12/15/14

[KeepRondo]

It's crazy that Olynyk is the better defender between Sully and him. Olynyk has really improved.

Sorry, you're wrong.

Exactly. I mean, let's see him do this for more than one game at a time before making these kinds of statements.

Olynyk's been playing better defense for some time now.

Oh the sweet taste of VICTORY

Injured?
Sully and Bradley 
Package them and a draft pick, what do we get.

A really good player, because teams don't just get to give up garbage for a 22-year old that has shown David West-potential, a 24-year old that has shown Aaron Afflalo 2.0-potential and a pick.

I would do it for Greg Monroe.

I would burn down Danny Ainge's house if he made that deal.

David West was a much better defender.

Sullinger is a good defender.

That's funny. I hope you aren't being serious.

[oldtype]

I feel like Sullinger's only a slightly-below-average defender when he's playing well.

Olynyk is a catastrophe on an average night.

[KeepRondo]

There's Olynyk again sliding over to cut off the driving lane. Sully almost never gets to the spot.

[LatterDayCelticsfan]

There seems to be  alot of strained calf muscles among our guards lately. Hmm...

he was a nightmare to start the season.

it's a good sign to see him adjusting

We'd quite easily get Monroe for those two without needing to include the pick.

Doubt it, or it would have gotten done already. I have been a big Sully fan all along, but I am finally seeing the limitations in his game.  He will end up as a reliable NBA player, and could perhaps make an All Star team someday, but he's not getting much better than he is right now, skill wise.  Same thing with Bradley. I say make the move.

David West was a much better defender.

David West has never not played next to an imposing shot-blocker or behind an elite perimeter defender. The worst center he has played next to is Emeka Okafor. Between the Hornets and Indiana, West was the second line of defense for either Chris Paul or Paul George. Not surprisingly, the year Tyson Chandler left the team and CP3 went down with injury, West posted a career low in defensive rating (or should I say career high: 110 pts. allowed per 100 possessions).

There is neither a single statistic nor professional analysis that suggests that Sully is anything less than an average defender despite being surrounded by mediocre defenders.

KO gets laughed at, but like i said before he at least gets there to look bad.  The effort is there. He just needs to refine his body to not get burnt against better players

Sullinger is a smart defender but lacks mobility.  If he loses 10 pounds, he can improve all aspects of his game.  Right now he looks gassed out there

[jambr380]

Go after Al Horford.

Don't think I'd trade Sully/Bradley/pick of any kind for Horford. I'd do it for Vucevic out of Orlando but I don't think he's going anywhere.

I think I would faint if we got Horford for Sully and Bradley - that would be incredible.

Sullinger and Bradley still have room to grow.

Keep thinking your eyes are more accurate than modern technology. That's not arrogant or stubborn.
