Celtics are at a critical juncture of the season

this team is going nowhere this season. brad stevens neutered this team from the go this season, starting hayward was a colossal disaster. it may have ruined brown in the process and it definitely killed our shot at having a chance in the playoffs.

hope it was worth it...

How exactly did it ruin Brown? Brown has been playing excellent basketball for like 2 months now. I agree about starting Hayward to start the season but pretty much nothing else here.

They can easily make up those games and get the #2 spot if they play the way they are supposed to play.

It's looking like Celts would have to choose between Jaylen and Hayward in the near future.

There's just not enough minutes and shots for both of them.

I'm fine if Celts chooses Brown over Hayward or Hayward over Brown.

For this season, a simple solution would be to trade Rozier.
That would open up more minutes and shots for both Hayward and Brown.

The C's seriously need a 2 for 1 trade for either a 2 guard or a PF/C.  Personally I would use morris and rozier and a pick to get a starter.  KP is my favorite option, but a Beal type(I know those 2 don't get you beal)is also an option.

At this point, I'm just taking it in baby steps. Lets first focus on getting to #4. Then #3, and so forth.

I personally think the 3 seed is still there for the taking although the 1-2 seeds are getting tougher to grab unless we start to go on a hot stretch soon. This upcoming month will be big for sure. If we end February and are still a 4-5 seed, that's honestly not ideal for us. I still have faith! We're 1.5 back of PHI and 2.5 back of IND. Those are our first two "targets" (catching and getting past them).

The Nets have been red hot lately but we're still 4 games ahead of them I think. There's a pretty good gap between the Top-5 and then the rest it seems.

Hayward doesnt need to play in the 4th quarters..hate to say this but he hurting us
