lee has lee been the problem

[rollie mass]

i think running the offence through him and his inability to finish along with getting blocked has hurt the celts
also does not stretch the floor-hope i am wrong
 i have hesitated posting this but getting blocked again last night by gortat? just re enforced that view

The sooner we trade Lee,Zeller and let jerebko, mickey(opportunity arises) play the better things will be

He is 32. That is old for a basketball player. Imagine Kevin Love at 32. Those guys have never been known for their defense other than rebounding. Pierce and Ray Allen weren't anything special either as they reached old b-ball age. But Ray never forgot how to shoot and Paul was always an all-around great player on both ends. Lee is done. Put a fork in him.

Tyler Zeller should not remain in the doghouse. Anyone who would have started with Lee as the second big big would look pretty bad at this point. Yes, I agree. Lee has been the problem. And having an easy preseason schedule didn't help either. It was a huge smack to the head when facing true competition.

On the optimistic side, it appears that the C's instead of getting down on themselves realized they needed to step it up. Isaiah made comments to that effect.

The last game was outstanding. This is why the royal we should never freak out over any one game. A bad team would have never destroyed Washington like was done the other night.

agreeing with the above, but, let's not forget what danny gave up to get lee - wallace's rotting corpse.

i would rather have lee than wallace any day of the week. is lee as good as he once was? clearly not. but he still can provide some rebounds and points coming off the bench as well as depth up front. this more than wallace would have provided to the team this year.

i have no problem with lee being on the celtics for one year. CBS gave him a try early on to see if lee could help as a starter. so far lee hasnt and he didnt start in the past few games.

i dont see lee as a significant problem going forward this year.

He was pretty effective in the NBA finals just 5 months ago, might want to give him a little more time before we start shoveling dirt on him.

This ^^^ is about how it is. Wallace was useless for his contract value. Lee may be able to score and rebound some, on some 2nd line players.

Lee as a valuable starter...to me, it was always a prayer.

[mctyson]

no but he has completely killed Zeller's role on this team

[rollie mass]

zeller was very efficient last year and is a perfect fit for celtics as a backup for when we get a rim protector-lee just screwed him up and amir allready turned his ankle-

[dreamgreen]

32 isn't that old for a basketball player IMO, but I agree he doesn't look that good right now.

Zeller looks awful right now too.

Amir looks like he's 35 out there, looks extremely fragile like KG looked like at the end of his time here. 

[Chris22]

Just go with the young guys.

This.

And Gortat is one of the better shot blockers in the league, so getting stuffed by him isn't a mark of disgrace.

It was a nice trade in theory. I hope he enjoys his one year in Boston. I don't see him anywhere as good as Humphries was.

There's wild stuff apparently going on with Brooklyn's game tonight. Lopez might be hurt. They seem to have lost to the Bucks. Unless someone is still in denial, that is a top 4 pick. I can't keep track of all Danny has gotten out of that trade. The irony is he waited too long. In hindsight, I wonder why the league allowed that trade. Three straight #1's for guys ready for the bench? Wallace's contract meant nothing because the team was blown up and we all know what happened the last two years. I guess people don't want to "jinx" anything. It's funny like the Patriots. People hate us for football and soon basketball again. There's no satan smiley, so I guess that's that.

Let's be glad the league doesn't intervene in cases of extreme ineptitude!

Zeller is nervous. He missed a layup like the basketball fan flubs tossing crumpled paper into a basket. Jerebko is working out well, but when we play bigger centers, Zeller will get good minutes with Olynyk and Amir if he can hold up. Maybe if Rozier plays more, we'll see more Zeller. He likes that kind of point guard. That to the side (what kind of pg works best with Tyler), pair Zeller with Olynyk and/or Sully, bench Lee, and he'll get back on track. Maybe don't pair Zeller with Amir so much until those two are able to figure out chemistry.

I think Jordan Mickey is better than David Lee today. He reminds me of Leon Powe, ready to go.

It's like when the refs make a rare mistake that helps us and you're praying the ball is inbounded before it can be reviewed.

Like No, No, Nanette for Babe Ruth, but in reverse.
