Our defense has been solid.  But then again, it's against the Utah Jazz.

I'd much rather have Prince playing than young. He is the future.  ::)

Yeah ...young should be playing ..and I'm a huge Prince fan


I think Danny wants Clippers to cough up a First for Prince .....he is baiting Doc

Just play Young instead of Thorton.

I am completely lost as to what the strategy of this franchise is. Winning games playing Wallace, Prince, Thirnton, etc. is completely senseless to me. Can anyone explain what this team is doing?

They've already got a young core of Bradley, Sully, Smart, Young , KO and Zeller with Turner and Crowder possibly added to that, with lots of cap space and a ton of draft picks, including 3 potential lottery picks from Brooklyn.  They've also got a lot invested in a young coach who BADLY needs some credibility and that only comes with wins.

This is one of those agree to disagree things. They are going to win themselves out of the lottery.

I've been kicking around the possibility of this team somehow mirroring the 03-04 Celts team that made the playoffs in spite of Ainge dismantling it. Playing the role of the departing Antoine and coach O'brien, Rajon Rondo and Jeff Green. Playing the role of the Pacers that spanked us hard in those playoffs, the Atlanta Hawks. Let's hope we can draft an Al Jefferson level prospect in spite of picking 15th.

Looks like Derrick Favors is gonna need a few favors to pull this one off.

Great half. Let's get that all-important 8th seed. I am pulling my hair out trying to understand this. I guess they aren't tanking now. Yay. More Gerald Wallace.

How is Utah this bad with the talent they've been able to draft?

Best half of basketball I have seen Celtics play in quite some time.

It is extremely possible. The 8th seed in the east may have a sub-.400 winning percentage.

Because they give players like Gordon Hayward max contracts  :P

They are normally better than this. Just a really bad performance from them so far today.
