First of all we played a Blazers team missing two of its starters, and one is an All Star game changer.    But I'd like to ad the Boston Celtics seem to always have fight and play up to their competition.   We are an average team, playing inconstant basketball but tend to play collectivity at an above average talent level.  If that makes sense.   

I like a bench of Smart, Bradley, Crowder, KO and (Bass/Zeller)

If we go big, start Zeller, if not slide Sulley to the 5 and Bass to the 4.   I think that 5 below would really compete, play together and compliment each other well.   They would fight, scrap and make the right play most of the time.   Turner would/will turn the ball over more than normal, but he creates more on offense than Smart does right now.   He gets into the paint better than Smart and has a great handle.  Its when he tries to much he gets the TO.   I get nervous when he handles the ball, but also am very impressed with his ability to get to spots.   

On a side note.  On a up an coming team Bradley would be my 6/7 man off the bench at SG.   We are a SG and C All Star away from being a top 5 team in the East.    then after that I'd upgrade the PG and roll with our team.   If a Wallace, a first round pick and KO could bring in an All Star C I would pull the trigger and resign Bass in the off season.   

Turner
Thorton
Prince
Sulley or Bass
Zeller or Sulley

I'm not sure how long Thorton and Prince are going to be on the Celtics roster.

Why on earth would we want to make the playoffs this year?

Grab a Center in the draft, try to trade for a legit young talent, and then go for the playoffs next year and let Brooklyn's pick get you more young assets...

Does the Avery-Turner starting backcourt give us the best chance to win?  How long can we hold Smart out?

  • Yup
Prince definitely adds a calming presence out there.  If he were to log significant minutes I'm sure we'd win more games.  To what end I have no idea.
Yup

How did all the teams on the east wind up rotten at the same time ?


Until KO got hurt ,  thought the team might be near as good again before Rondo left. 

I don't know though .....strange stuff happens ......like what if Sully get n tons of minutes improves him ?

What if ET , Thornton and Smart play more consistent ......

Bad as the east is .....this team could still make the playoff . :-X

A lot of teams are a "SG and C all star away."
