I mean it's no secret that the NBA & Player Assoc support BLM and by association all anti-voter suppression legislation at the state level. But I'd be surprised if they were publicly promoting that stance during entertainment time ... That said, how lame is it for KI trying to deflect the booing he will receive after avoiding the Boston Garden for the last few years after lying to the fans and telling them that he would resign here. Now he's telling the press not to be surprised if he gets treated rudely and racism is mixed in "cuz you know how it is in Boston, do I have to say anything else ... no more comments." That said after he's made public comments that he's never experienced a racist remark while in Boston as a team member or opponent in response to whether he's ever experienced racism in Boston personally. What a fuckin' liar and manipulating bastard! I hope they throw shit at him now. Yes, esp Barkley. He at least twice called out republicans by name. They're all idiots! If a person thinks its racist to require voters to show ID to confirm their identity when they vote, then that person needs their head examined!

Haha that’s fair, but they’ve lacked talent for years. Now we at least get the truth here instead of how good TT is
SO you agree that Ainge has done a shitty job as a GM ... Thank You!
I’ve always said there have been moves to make he didn’t and he’s been over protective of assets. But still, it requires a lot of luck to build a championship team from the ground up...it’s really not done anymore. Need a big time FA or two to come down

I'll tell you one thing, Marcus Smart's stock is rising significantly. Is there a "Playoff Smart" that we're witnessing here?
Smart has been the best Celtics player in this series, by far. This very fact should tell you everything about the state of this team.
Marcus Smart is our best player in a playoff series. We're getting swept!
This Smart would be very valuable to a team like GSW, the Clips or the Lakers.

Yes except some states are "targeting" democratic counties only ... that s/b illegal. No state s/b able to require one county to have stricter voter regs than another county in the same state ... that's discrimination.
And, it's not just a voter id in some states ... multiple restrictions target disabled, minorities etc with a number of reductions in options designed to make it more difficult for those that would support the dems.
Check this out if you think it's just a voter id ... an eye opener!

I have no problem with the Celtics trading either if we can bring back value.

Agree, have to see whats available, but Rwill looks like he could be an actual promising asset in a trade

This Smart would be very valuable to a team like GSW, the Clips or the Lakers. Simply said, Smart deserves to play for a better organization/team than the Celtics presently provide.
Granted he can be a handful to coach but you have to love his fire!
Current management hasn't a clue as to how to handle enigmatic Marcus nor other players on this roster who also need to be constantly challenged, both as individuals and as team players, to bring out their best efforts.
As presently configured, Celtics franchise suxx.
Marcus Smart deserves better as do long suffering Celtic fans!

I don't think anyone can argue against that, Pud. It's time for him to move on and I'd love to see him succeed elsewhere. He's earned that.

Thank you for your patience, ladies.
All good things take time.
Here it is.... for your viewing enjoyment!
No question about it... Celtics Player of the Game!
Pud
Great performance by Marcus...my favorite was when Kemba starts doing his stupid razzle dazzle and then gets stuffed by Durant...ball goes right to Marcus and he puts up a smooth 3...

You sound like me back in the day calling for Ainge to mercifully trade Pierce to a contender...
But then McHale bailed out Ainge by trading us KG...
This time I do not see any miracles out there however...two more years of Kemba...

Kemba was a poor signing for sure, but hes not the one holding the Celtics back from contention. They are doing that as a team

They are doing that as a team Sure he is...he is the weak link, when he should be the strongest...and his contract is keeping us from improving at two or three positions...or at least one position, that is for sure...

Hes definitely not a great player, and hes not nearly worth the contract. But I dont think he was brought in to be the best player on the team. He was certainly desperation in response to Kyrie leaving though. This teams issues start with the top end players, not the role players hes preventing from being on the roster or marginally improving it at the end of the day. Your best players carry you, and one of them is hurt and the other is playing awful and sat out half the game.

Bull shit.
It would have been fine if they called out the democrates or Biden.
The Hypocrisy here makes me ill.
Now everyone likes Smart and says he deserves better.
Pete has been ragging on him all year as has most here.
Only Pud has backed Smart.

Barkley has called out the Democrates more over the years than the republicans.
There is no Republican Party anymore.. Any fuckin idiot can see that..
It's the Trump party. They arn't Republicans anymore

I didn't mean to start a political discussion, but it's hard to watch a whole hour of pregame about politics and not notice. That was definitely a new thing for the NBA
