hidden in all the isaiah coverage -brown blows by

[guava_wrench]

He's really turning into a poor man's Jeff Green.

And who would you have taken with the third pick, smarty pants?

He'll let you know in a few years when he sees who turns out to be the best.

TP.  Feeling the same way about Olynyk.  He seems to be involved in quite a few unforced turnovers.  His +/- is not good, FWIW.  I think a better frontcourt replacement for KO will do wonders for everyone else's game too.

Not ready to cash in our all-stars just yet, but the long-term sure looks promising.

He's inconsistent. Smart might shoot 2-7, but he's very consistent with the other parts of his game. He watches Isaiah's back on defense.

Maybe we can win it all with Isaiah?

Rozier is probably too much to add to Brown for rawness.

Crowder is the one sitting pretty with his contract, then Horford, then Brown, unless Danny makes a move.

I'm talking about having a Celtics identity. Smart and Isaiah will feel the pressure next year for contracts. I hate the money part of it.

Olynyk has confidence issues that Brown shows no signs of having.

Amir doesn't exactly have much job security either. That could be a factor.

I'd like the trading deadline to pass as soon as possible. It seems too risky to go all in for Cousins. It would take too many assets. It's true Jaylen needs to improve on his handle. I don't think he will have the problems Smart has in shooting the ball.

That's not a bad team we currently have. There might be only two or three teams who do not envy us.

Pretty sure I'm never going to obsess over one possession by any player.

Let alone on a night when a real scorer went off.

How's Dunn doing?

Okafor is doing pretty good, thank you.

i almost died awhile ago -DVT and an acute bi lateral thrombosis-there are nights i can't stay up late a watch the celts i get too excited and its three in the morning here
what i'm trying to say is green had his heart ripped out-it takes courage to get back out there after what happened,
 the sub conscious and the want and ability to push boundaries might be limited by what happened -i thought i ate stress
-i think green gets a bad rap
i think he should be applauded for coming back and still playing-

If your doctors have given you the okay to exercise, then you might try walking around the house and lifting light dumbbells during Celtic game commercials. (In the US the commercials and commentary last longer than the game itself.) Of course if you are DVRing the games, then that's another story.  Hope you are feeling better in 2017.

there is a 5 hour time difference, so walking around at three in morning with dumb bells wouldn't cut it with my wife-
i got a mug EAT!! SLEEP!! BASKETBALL!! my wife is english  and she doesn't get it
-i have league pass, so i watch in the morning knowing who won
but i do stay up on select games
watching the celtics after you know the score enables me to watch without the distraction of emotion, plus i can pause
thanks for concern but i am well on the mend,i only brought this up in defense of green to relate that near death gets in your head
fans can understand an ACL and how long it takes to have confidence after surgery and its limitations but open heart surgery -then playing basketball knowing reggie lewis went down while playing -that is courage

That is true about Jeff Green and courage. I wilt from paper cuts. He turned out to be an underachiever, but he experienced some serious trauma.

Jeff didn't seem that great at dribbling. He was fast, but if the defender was good enough, Jeff wasn't getting to the hoop. I'd call him the rich man's James Young. Or maybe that is unfair. But he was picked #5 and was the centerpiece for Ray Allen, so without doubt he didn't pan out like he should have.

It's similar to Rondo. Rajon was next up to run this team and then had a catastrophic injury. It's a big what if. Same with KG getting hurt and Jeff Green losing a lot of time to heart surgery.
