something needs to change fast

[ihatelakers]

im not invisioning them beating any playoff team the first round after the last 2 games.no defense played anymore.

Danny made no moves he is saving everything for ONE goal

To get A Davis .   

While everybody else loaded up on players for a run for a title this,year  .  Danny saving every penny he has to throw at Davis for,the furture .  Just let go this,year sit back and watch is what im doing

No different than Magic for the Lakers. He got rid of two young buddimg stars , Lopez , Zubic , everything , deatroyed the team spirt in name of signing Davis

Magic and Danny are NOT giving in .

I really don't don't Danny is wottied about this season

He is all in this summer.

And maybe Danny's strategy is going to backfire on him like it's backfired on the Lakers. Two teams that seem to be headed down the same dead end road.

Well soon the season will be over, so that's a change.

[Rosco917]

I'm sad to agree, after all the hoopla of a finals appearance. These guys are a lazy bunch of superstar wannabes. Big changes are needed.

[KGBirdBias]

I think they're resigned at accepting the 4th or 5th seed. All we can do is wait for the playoffs at this point.

[SparzWizard]

If you tell me that this team has a Tom Brady-like player with a Bill Belichick-type coach with an 11-5 record or some 4-5 seed record, I'll respond to you that they could win a championship.

But this team has none of that. No poise, no chemistry, no adjustments, just the same mistakes repeating itself.

[Jiri Welsch]

The only things I think can help are going back to the Opening Night starters and getting Baynes back.

Kyrie envisions himself as that kind of player but I’m afraid he’s mistaken. This teams depth was supposed to be its strength but it’s just not.

The Nets of all teams are breathing down their necks for the 5th spot. I had no problem with Ainge going after AD before and I definitely don't now. This team is broken.

It’ll change fast in t minus... 4 months

It was pretty clear the focus isn’t on this season when Danny made no significant moves at the break.  Other contenders dumped assets to lose to the Warriors.  It’s whatever to me at this point because things are going to look a lot different with this team come this summer.  Let the Raptors dump their assets and after Kawhi leaves for LA it’ll all be short lived. 

It’s too bad the kids couldn’t play nice together but that’s what happens when guys are in contract years, they know they aren’t part of the teams future plans and they’re in it for themselves and their families. 

All that being said this is obviously a low point but it’s because attitudes are down and the interest isn’t there for these guys right now.  Realistically these games are meaningless compared to playoff games and I’m sure we’ll see a better Celtics team then.

BINGO SAME ISSUES OVER AND OVER AND OVER

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Team is who they is at this point. No flipping of the switch...no playoff surprises. Just one round and done.

Then Danny is gonna dismantle this lazy and selfish bunch.

Not even sure Brad survives. He has been a disappointing coach this season

yep. brad has been a huge disappointment

[ihatelakers]

  one would have thought by now that brad would have made more changes,but the same product keeps coming out each game and doing the same things over and over with no consequences.time to start setting people,its almost like the coaching is stuck in a rut!!!!!

[Erik]

The fifth seed is looking pretty likely at this point. We can only hope that Indiana finishes fourth because I do not see Boston beating the Sixers

Right, because the Celtics haven’t beaten them all 3 games this year, 4-1’ed them in the playoffs last year, and 3-1 last year regular season. Like, I get your concern about the team, but it’s a bit absurd to say “I don’t see them beating the Sixers.”

I guess my question would be, why is it always about "next season" with the Celtics?

Why can't we live in the moment and focus on this season? What if we don't get Davis and Kyrie walks? Is it going to be about the 2020-21 season 2 games into next season?

At what point does Danny get the criticism he deserves?

Because from where I'm sitting, Ainge hasn't won jack since 2008. And I am talking about titles, not trades, or draft picks, or yada yada.
