Celtics (19-16) at Bulls (21-12) Game #36 1/7/16

[SCeltic34]

Zeller is a bum.

Free Mickey!

At this point I'm all for it.  Park Lee and Zeller on the bench.  They can rot there for all I care.  Zeller has been given ample opportunities and just hasn't found a way to contribute.

Zeller is a bum.

Free Mickey!

We must be approaching the point where BradJay says enough is enough and plays Mickey, right?

FTFY

The problem with this team is that we have no one (outside of IT and Turner depending on the matchup due to height) that can consistently score... so our offense is either on fire or ice cold...and it's getting bad enough to lose us games. Major shakeup or this is the roster of an 8 seed and I'd rather not make the playoffs at that point..

true. how many layups have the celtics simply missed in the past games? the plays work to give them open shots but they miss the easy shot. jerebko's miss is one example. 

Seriously... I get people want Simmons if the Nets pick works out but after watching these last few games I might be hopping on the Ingram bandwagon. We need a scoring wing

Same. We need shooting, and that's one of the things Simmons doesn't bring. He also looks to project long-term as a small-stretch 4.

Exactly we don't need another player who can't shoot...

It shouldn't matter, drafting for need is a horrible idea.  You can always add shooters later, adding a star is a bigger issue

Guess we woulda passed on lbj too.

[BudweiserCeltic]

8 of the last 9 free-throws for Sully.

And 11 out of 12 donuts for breakfast.

As long as he keeps making those free-throws, all's good.

[Chief]

Zeller is a bum.

Still better than Lee... yep that's where we're at now

I'll take my chances with Mickey.

I am getting there myself. Couldn't be worse right?

We know Mickey can block shots. At least he brings that.

Normally I agree but Ingram is an elite scorer. He's going to be special as well, though in all honestly if we did pick first overall I'd advocate taking Simmons. I just wouldn't cry if we got the second pick

If Sully is not in the game, we loose the boards. Kelly must become at better rebounder to play more minutes.

[tarheelsxxiii]

If this were the Patriots, everyone would be cut by Belichick.

It's the glaze on his fingers.

[BitterJim]

At least we're attacking the boards now

Embiid, Okafor, and Noel all beg to differ.

[BudweiserCeltic]

Going small again, not a fan. But considering Zeller's contribution, let's roll with it. But since Crowder is there as well, not that bad. We're big in the wings.

That is true, and if this is the production we're going to get out of our backup bigs I'd rather develop Mickey. Hopefully DA has some trades in the works there's no way Lee is here past the deadline right?

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

crowder talks as much ish a genie (kg)!

Smaahhhhhtttt!
