Smart isn't the defensive player he used to be

He also is coming off an injury.

When is he not?

Yup

Let's not overreact to the games so far - we haven't been even close to whole with several key players out in every game so far.

However, for the most part, the defensive effort has just not been there. I think this team needs an attitude adjustment, and hopefully Brad gives them an arse chewing at halftime.

Seems like a classic game of the C's not taking the Nuggets seriously and the Nuggets taking advantage of that.

S it crazy to think we should trade Thomas now to get best value?

Yeah sure, then maybe we can be down by 35 instead of 25 right now...

Is there another great shooter on this team honestly? What do you mean by "best value", are we getting Westbrook or Lillard in return?

all i mean by best value is that he's still under contract, and playing well

If there's any good trade value for thomas, now would probably be the peak (before resigning him for max)


And i was just making sure it was a crazy thought

hell, at this stage a flog counts as a defensive stop. i'll take it.

HUH?? He's guarding 3's half of the time now...

Is it crazy to think some people thought the C's would be the best team in the league defensively?

I say yes. Still soft in the paint.

we were very good defensively last year and replaced Jared Sullinger and Evan Turner with Horford Brown and Rozier.

We should be one of the best defensive teams in the league.

agreed. the celtics have just looked soft on defense tonight. of course, denver shooting at 57% from three point range doesnt help either. 

[CelticSooner]

Horford isn't a rim protector Abby. He helps spacing on offense more than anything.

Zeller how?

Good point, I just think Ainge will keep IT, he seems to really love him. Even went hard after him in 2014 FA (they didn't have any cap space virtually so no chance - but IT was Ainge's first phone call that night) and then traded for him immediately.

Zeller.
