The team chemistry is way off. Guys look like they don’t like playing for each other.

That tends to happen when you’re losing. It may be that we have too many talented players on the team and not enough with the right team-first attitude.

ohh please! yeah too much talent...

that's just laughable.

I said too much talent and not enough team first attitude. Talent doesn’t mean much without effort and selflessness in a team sport.

I will keep saying it. Sit Kyrie for 10 games and watch how different the team and games look.

...just sayin.🤷🏾‍♂️

And what's that going to do?

At one point in the game tonight, there was a 50/50 ball on the Celtics end of the floor and they showed no hustle and Dallas (can't remember the player) took the ball straight to the rim.

Or what about when everyone is just standing around waiting for the official to call the ball over the backboard?

Is that Kyrie's fault?

Because the team takes on the personality of its star player. He doesn't have leadership qualities. I'm just saying if he sits watch the difference in the games. What is the issue with criticizing Kyrie?

The issue is Kyrie is not the problem.

at .500 less than 1/4 of the way into the season seems more underdone than cooked.  ;D

ainge is probably gonna stand pat. He isn’t one to panic. He will give it time to let the team gel. He’s all in for Davis and won’t cash in trade chips early

I think you are probably right.  Although if the right trade comes along for Rozier he might pull the trigger just because he likes to get value, and at this point I don't see a scenario where we resign Terry.

actually you gotta wonder ......IF we all know DA will trade his mother to bring in Davis.   Irving and maybe tatum are the only safe bets.   Maybe this rumors or a gaint A. Davis swap at some point has brought alot of the players down and not caring ?

I'd like to see a true pass first pg.  I have no one in mind, but it would be nice to see someone who knows how to run an offense and set guys up.  I know that's not really Stevens' system, but for a few minutes here and there during a game might gets guys going.

I think it's time to let go of the Anthony Davis stuff. He isn't going anywhere and even then, I would never give up Tatum for Davis and I don't think New Orleans takes anything less (if anything, they'd want more.)

Read something today that said AD couldn't be traded to the C's before end of season unless it was for Kyrie. Both players fall under the Ross Rule. I am not an expert on the collective bargaining agreement however!

There could not be a better outcome of Kyrie's time in Green.  If Danny has not explored that, he is a complete fool.

That's a load of crap. I'd argue that Kyrie is one of the guys playing with effort on defense this season, and that's saying something because he really isn't a defensive player. Look at Rozier, see how little effort he puts in on D. Remember last playoffs? We got too many mismatches because he refuses to fight through screens. Brown is playing bad, same with Baynes. Frankly I'd play Theis more. Trading Rozier will go a long way. Lots of young guys feel like they are stars already when they are are not.

People blame Hayward, he is not playing today and he is one of the guys who are actually playing very unselfishly. What we need are players who are willing to play roles. Trade the cancers, I dont care if they play Yabu and Ojeleye more, I just want guys that will fight hard and will do what is asked of them.

So if it was up to some of you guys, we’d trade Hayward AND Kyrie.

At what point will DA alienate all marquis free agents? Just need to get Tatum to All-Star level so Ainge can flip him.

I'm starting to think he's the one a lot of guys don't like playing with

That is how I see it.

Teamwork was much better without Kyrie. Guys working for each other, to help one another. Everyone on the same page.

Because the team takes on the personality of its star player. He doesn't have leadership qualities.
