As much as I was advocating (some will remember...lol) for Nurcic, it's unlikely POR will want to trade him. Indications are they are trying to build around Dame, and he is signed for another 4 years, at a "reasonable" contract. Just maybe they want to tank or rebuild? Who knows. I remember calling that for Orlando, but we didn't get our hands on Aaron Gordon when he was unofficially available.

Neither one of us is too keen on the whole concept at the moment, however. But, things can change!

He does keep saying it. However, all of my scenarios are in case Jaylen wants out. I don't want to trade him, I think tinkering with the roster is better........but we don't know what Jaylen wants yet.

Take note how Denver plays deny ball. Those guys would have kicked our ass as well. Coach uses his bench. Gets everyone involved. Tough team to beat.

Good to see a quick move on the coaching staff...Got to start thinking about next year as of yesterday!...
Some here mentioned that Rondo might be a good idea, and I agreed, but I forgot about his domestic violence issues...so, not a good move for us...

Heat keeping it close tonight, but I expect they will lose...they'll be lucky to win one and push it to five games...

Some here mentioned that Rondo might be a good idea, and I agreed, but I forgo about his domestic violence issues...so, not a good move for us... I'm happy with the Cassell addition. In fact I'd like them to trade places. Imo Sam is infinitely more qualified. Happy with that for sure.

Well, Denver had a chance to tie it with 10 or so seconds to go and Murray just dribbled around like a wanker and used up the whole clock...where have we seen that before?...no time left for a rebound or second shot...pathetic...
Now Butler can come out and say how he is going to close the series out in 3...prick...

Left the game with Denver winning. Look how a team like Miami keeps winning. Pure grit, great coaching is my guess. Fully commited players.

Coaching was the reason we are not there playing for the ring. It matters. Coaching is like coffee. Sure you are good without it. But you are much better WITH it. Lol Every player they put on the floor played well and some extremely well. We didn't always have that in the playoffs. If Kabengele were stronger he would be a poor man's Bam Adebayo!

The most pressing decisions involve a possible supermax contract extension for Jaylen Brown and working through Grant Williams‘ restricted free agency. League executives tell Heavy Sports it is fully expected the Celts, not wishing to engage in a game of roster Jenga, will find a way to retain both. Then again, the players will have a major say in this, as well. – via Steve Bulpett @ Heavy.com Free Agency, Grant Williams, Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics
“I hear fans up there are debating whether to give Brown the supermax (five years, $290 million), but at some point the numbers don’t really matter,” said one general manager. “First of all, the guy is one of the better players in the league. Start there. I know people are all upset about his last game (19 points, 1-9 on 3-pointers, eight turnovers), and sure he was bad, but that was a team-wide collapse. Just take a step back and look at where he is and what he can do. The guy can play.” – via Steve Bulpett @ Heavy.com Free Agency, Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics
“But the main reason why everyone out here knows they have to get something done with him is that you can never afford to lose an asset like that. … Even if you sign him and things don’t work out with your team down the line, you have a player of value. All-Star players can attract free agents who want to play with them, or you can use your player as an asset in a trade.” – via Steve Bulpett @ Heavy.com Free Agency, Trade, Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics
And Brown, he said, would be worth a lot more under a long-term contract than if he doesn’t sign an extension and chooses to play out the final year of his present deal. “From everything I’ve heard and I know, Boston wants Brown,” the GM said. “They see him as a big part of their future. But if things get messed up there — major injuries or things like that — you have to have the ability to make trades. “Bottom line: you don’t let talent walk or get devalued.” – via Steve Bulpett @ Heavy.com Free Agency, Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics
Another league exec said it was reasonable to wonder about the effect on roster flexibility if both Brown and Jayson Tatum, eligible a year after, are on supermax contracts, “but you have to wait to cross that bridge. The rules are going to change to make some moves harder, but as long as those two guys can play at a high level, they’ll always be worth the money as players or assets.” – via Steve Bulpett @ Heavy.com Free Agency, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics

Butler excels at dribbling towards the basket and faking the defender & scoring or getting fouled. We felt we were a great 3 pt shooting team but Miami is better than us and they have been missing Tyler Herro a VG 3 pt shooter. In game 6 Tatum was very effective driving to the basket but we continued with 3s and they scored 14 to our 7 and only White's tip in saved us from their comeback. Miami has a better bench than us with Strus & Robinson scoring 24 last night but the team's 3 pt shooting was awesome with 17 or 51 pts almost 1/2 plus Butler adding 2 pts or foul shots. We needed drive to the basket in game 7 by Tatum, Brown & White and rely on 2s as our 3s weren't falling either. Don't know who could be available as a big man...Emibid, Jokic are exceptional...but a big man can save a team if 3pts shots are not falling with more Rebs & Tap ins on the Offensive Board. Going into next season we need change the roster as just making the playoffs and then losing is not the answer to success, I think!!!
