Speaking of Nesmith, the only reason he's still here, is the Spurs wanted Lanford over him! If you look at trade grades, the Spurs got anywhere from an A to an A plus! I give Brad an A for the Horford deal, maybe an A plus! Also an A for signing Schroder and getting JRich! As for the White deal C- at best! We needed White about as much as we needed another Grant Williams!

didnt watch the game but saw the boxscore. No bench presence. But wait. 8 men rotation. Close game. All good. But WTF did we get Theis for? or Nik?? what for? lets be honest here. If JT cant give us 40 every night, which I dont blame him, JB either, why keep the 8 men rotation? Did they just sign Nik so no one else could sign him? thats it?? WTF..Sorry Udoka but gotta use more resources. WE have a better bench than before. Whether it gets used or not, thats a different story. ..Theiss needs some minutes and Nesmith will be getting minutes i'm sure. Nesmith started his last game IME must have some confidence in him. Cole says Theiss is fat and out of shape. Maybe so. The bench is not better nor will it eventually be better. Not with the guys on it now. Prior to the trade deadline, the Celtics won 8 of 9 and were finally showing signs that they were putting things together (#1 in several categories since 12/31). Our depth was finally taking its toll on opposing teams. Smart and JB would sub out, and in comes Schroder, JRich or Langford and we didn't miss a beat. Every starter was not required to play 35 minutes. That is seriously impacting this rotation now! Honestly, to me, seems like GWill's game as well as PP has gone down since the deadline. With significantly more minutes, their numbers become true indicators of what they can contribute and we're seeing it now. Quiet as it's kept, JB's numbers have taken a dip too. He's standing around watching JT "go off" instead of "going off" with him. With IME going to a short 8, sometimes 9 man, rotation, you're really putting pressure on inconsistent players, especially on the offensive end. Our offense was really rounding into form. It was catching up to our defense. Now, outside of Tatum's amazing scoring outings, our offense has declined significantly. Last two games we made 9 3-pointers vs DAL and only 6 vs DET. That's not going to get it in the long run. |

As a guy who searched everything for sleep, I never found alcohol to help at all trying Hindu meditation. Hard to get in that zone however.. Have alprazolam 1 to 2 mgs a day They work most of the time but don't go there is my advice .Mrs Jones will crawl on you back like H. Anything that ends in Pam is playing with fire |

I give Brad an A for the Horford deal, maybe an A plus! Also an A for signing Schroder and getting JRich! As for the White deal C- at best! We needed White about as much as we needed another Grant Williams! I'm totally with you. I don't understand why the acquisition of one player, Derrick White, all of a sudden strengthens our bench more than it was before the deadline. I just don't get it. I think folks desperately want to believe that the additional time slated for Nesmith, PP and GWill will, at some point in the future, make our bench stronger. I don't see that happening anytime soon. PP has a good shot until he shoots too much. GWill, same thing.....time to stop saying he's the best 3-point shooter when he's so inconsistent. And for Nesmith, he is so far from being a regular contributor that it's funny. With the way we were playing leading up to the deadline, that success probably would have continued with our overall depth, especially on the defensive end. The only deal we should have made was Schroder for Theis and if iME continues with the inconsistent rotation, who knows if that ends up being a solid trade. |

Makes you wonder, if Ainge and company looked at Nesmith's stats his ist year at Vandy, when he played all 32 games! He shot 33 % from three! Those are not the numbers the so called best shooter in the draft would have! |

He should have stopped with the Schroder deal. Then again, It made JT really happy sooooooo. I guess you have to do it. |

Were winning lately and moved up three seeds that is hard to ignore or dismiss.. I'm still not all on board with Timmy but i'm leaning slightly his way. Best defense in the league counts for a lot |

That makes the acquisition of three players. Not just one. |

The only deal we should have made was Schroder for Theis and if iME continues with the inconsistent rotation, who knows if that ends up being a solid trade. one? Theis, White, Nik. That makes the acquisition of three players. Not just one. Absolutely. But it seems that the acquisition of White is the focus of our bench getting stronger. IMO, Theis doesn't move any needles on our bench. He doesn't make it worse or definitely not better. If you want to include Stauskas to our additions, that even adds to my argument that our bench is NOT stronger since the trade deadline. He doesn't play. Acquiring Nik has made NO IMPACT on this team whatsoever. And again, BEFORE the trade deadline, we were 8 wins and 1 loss in the previous 9 games. Let's not suggest we got better after the trade deadline. We aren't.. Our defense was stud wtih Schroder, JRich, and Langford and the ball was flying around on the offensive end. This didn't just start after acquiring White, and even he has been inconsistent. |

'''Our defense was stud wtih Schroder, JRich, and Langford and the ball was flying around on the offensive end. This didn't just start after acquiring White, and even he has been inconsistent.''
Now Pete Lansford wasn't playing and Schroder got posted up more than a street corner girl.
Ill give ya 1 of three.
Remember i said next year? Thats the plan and probably a smart one

It's the defensive switching scheme at all costs. We gave away good, maybe better players for guys who could switch. Hope they have a short leash on theis.
When is waivers?

Ill give ya 1 of three. Remember i said next year? Thats the plan and probably a smart one Love this comment. Langford was playing before the trade deadline. Outside of a DNP-CD against Charlotte, he was playing. He was working his way back. Schroder got posted at times but our TEAM defense was rising quickly before the deadline. We were, what, #2 at the deadline so whatever post ups Schroder gave up, it didn't hurt us that much. And again, we were 9 - 1 in games leading up to the trade deadline and, honestly, that's all that counts. Yes, you said next year. |

ah and .
Your and my words Pete
We were 9 and 1 because we either played bad teams or they had key players injured ..
Don't think for a second i don't want to crawl up Timmy'ass
He was a willin partner in crime with Ainge for years.
Looks like his new approach is a breath of fresh air or IMEis twice the coach One or both is a fact it seems
