Clippers (34-17) at Celtics (31-23) Game #55 2/10/16

[BudweiserCeltic]

Killer game by Sully.  Tough decision this deadline for Danny.

Seriously unless DA can get a good deal for Horford or something along those lines I bet he just stands pat. May as well great chemistry with this group, could make some noise in the playoffs as is and have all the pieces set for a huge offseason

We got to give up someone, I would assume. Him or KO?

It's a tough decision, because Sully can clearly play, but if Ainge wants to land two max contract guys he can't keep him... He's a restricted free agent.  We'll have to pay him.

As I've said in previous threads, it's not a matter of money, but of timing.

I'd have to run the numbers though to see where we at, but the problem is not him getting paid... but WHEN in the process that occurs.

Well this win makes up for the bucks game. Everyone agree?

Yeah, I agree. We should've won last night, too, but you can't really complain after the heart this team showed tonight, even if Bradley did his same stupid stuff again tonight lol

[KeepRondo]

I'll tell you this much, no one is going to want to play us in the playoffs. We're a tough out, even if it ends up in a sweep.

I don't see any single team in the Eastern Conference sweeping us this year, not even the Cavs. And I actually favor us to anyone not named Toronto or Cleveland in the East, though it's pretty close with Toronto.

Can we all start thinking that Kevin Durant being a Celtic next year is not a homerismistic idea now?

Monster game by Sully. Trade him now while his value is still high. And package David Lee with him flip it for Al Horford...get it done Danny!

I keep saying that a Horford/Durant duo is absolutely perfect for our team given our options. We'd challenge Golden State with our defensive tenacity, as long as we're not giving up too much for Horford.

Unbelievable night for our seeding and the Nets Pick by the way. Minnesota beat the Raptors, Pelicans won, Nuggets beat the Pistons, Nets got crushed, Pacers lost.

We'd score 115 a game.

Wow. What a win. Such a good feeling to beat the refs twice in one week (Cleveland)

What was up with these Refs tonight----?
Seriously making stuff up.

[Ogaju]

i am so glad doc quit on the celtics. 

This.

[mr. dee]

Never! Say! Die!

The Boston Celtics are my NBA's Baranggay Ginebra (Filipinos would know). I love the fight of this squad, the heart and the resilience. There's no way this team is going down easy, and teams are putting on notice.

CELTICS!

If anything, San Miguel is the counterpart of the Celtics. Ginebra is more of the mold of Lakers and the fanbase is annoying as Lakers too.

We could feasibly get Horford this year without giving up IT Bradley Smart Crowder KO or BRk 16

Then we could add Durant and resign Horford and STILL have brooklyn 16

That being said I give us no better than a 5% chance at Durant right now

Where can he go?

Stay in OKC, team up with someone on the Mavs, go to the Cs who have the same cap as Dallas but is in a better position to win.

Wizards have Wall but not much else.

What other teams have 30 mil in cap. We might have 50. 2 players.

I think virtually every team could pretty easily create enough space to sign Durant, but we've got to be nearing the top of the list of viable candidates.
