What the heck happened to Jerebko man...he had an RPM of 2.60 last season, now it's -1.59. How does that happen? Turner has always been a net negative, but Jerebko fell off a cliff.

No touches. We have too many pfs

Need to trade away a few. Trade 2 of sully, jerebko, Lee.
It was a contract year......

He's on a 1-year deal, so it's still a contract year.

I am sorry. Sully is not the best big we have. He moves so slow. Like he is stuck in mud. His defense was so awful yesterday. He could not even take the two steps to rotate over.

Sullinger was a plus three last night. One of the few on the plus side.
I thought Brad was outcoached last night. Schroder killed us, and Brad never adjusted.

I would like us to go with Rozier, Hunter, Turner, Olynyk, and Lee as backups if Mickey stays in the D league. We need a real point guard with the second unit.

I'm bitter.

If you're a big you need to rebound. The only big doing anything on the boards this year is Sullinger and he has been one of the best rebounders in the league this year. That alone makes him our best big. Add in his much improved defense and effort, plus that even though he is shooting like crap, he is still contributing offensively with 11 PPG and 2.4 APG. He has the most APG and 2nd highest assist percentage of all the Celtics bigs.

Given these facts, I don't see how anyone can say Sullinger hasn't been our best big. Is he flawed? Sure. Is he not your prototypical PF/C? Sure. But it's pretty easy to see that that he is still the best big we have right now, whether you think he's just a fat slob or a very good player.

He is tough to move on the post. It makes him a good rebounder, His defense sucks because he can not move his feet quick enough, so no he is not very good.

His defense has been good this year. Stop living in the past.

You mean when Crowder and Jerebko got destroyed in the pick-and-roll? OK.

100% agree, Stevens was out coached last night.

Stevens yanked him because he was late on his rotations

Incredibly mistaken. He was inserted because of defensive purposes. He was replaced for Kelly Olynyk later in the quarter because we were down 6 with 1 minute and a half to go and Stevens wanted shooters to spread the floor and hopefully makes some 3s to try and catch up.

He wasn't removed because of defensive purposes, just the contrary.

If I am not mistaken we were up when Sullinger was subbed in. To me he looks always late getting over, but I respect your opinion. T.P.
