You both have landed some good punches. On to round 306! He got knocked out when he said Jayson Tatum will be leaving Boston soon. Wrong just said you can’t guarantee him and brown will be here for 10 years. Hypocrite

Believe me, one of the reasons I'm still pissed is because I thought THIS was going to be the year. Everything was in place. We just needed to upgrade our bench. We were two games from the Finals last year. I felt all last year we were the team that could give the Lakers the most trouble. As long as everyone was healthy, we were poised. We had no more high picks left, and we had everyone under contract for one more year. We had the team in place. Teague still would have signed, I'm sure. Assuming Thompson came for the MLE....maybe, maybe not. Our starting team COULD have been - Kemba, Smart, Brown, Tatum and Thompson. Our bench could have been Teague, Pritchard, the Butler kid, Theis and RWill/GWill. THAT, my friends is a talented bench. End of games? Benedict Arnold goes in, Kemba or Smart comes out, depending on what we need. That team is deep and talented, and championship caliber. Now there are too many unknowns for me, and I feel we've gone a little backwards. He's better use the TPE, but whoever he uses it on may not move the needle enough. And THAT is why I'm still pissed at both Johnny Damon, and our GM, who may have blown an easy chance to improve the team... Yeah, it's too bad free agency means exactly that. We have been burned by it somewhat. Not exactly. According to Scal and Forsberg, if Hayward stayed with the Celts, we would basically have the same team as last season. The only additions would be PP, Nesmith, and someone for the tax payer MLE, around 5m I think. While Hayward is an all-star caliber player, he was not a good fit with the Celts. It's obvious because he left. I mean GH didn't want to be the 3rd or 4th option. That's why it's better if the Celts had a guy like Harrison Barnes. So what did the Celts get for GH? TT and a huge TPE. Until we know who the TPE becomes, the Celts is not a finished product.

Ainge would not be able to improve the team if the Celts kept Johnny Damon. Scal and Forsberg discussed this in one of their podcasts. So you should be thankful that Johnny Damon left. Damon played for the Sox not the Celts Fierce.. But hedley won't mention the name "Gordon Hayward". Right now hedley calls GH Johnny Damon.

Since the Heat at Celtics game is postponed, right now the Celts are tied with Philly for the #1 seed in the east.
A lot of the Celtic fans here never thought the Celts would be this good before the season started.
Celts are doing this without Kemba and Ainge has yet to use the TPE.
Not a finished product and the Celts are already one of the top teams in the east after 10 games.
Like I said, it's a big mistake to underestimate the Celtics this season.

But it was a mistake to get him but now he is revered and Danny brought an MVP candidate into the fold ... your punt missed everything. Like I said, those are two different things. Danny should not have traded for IT at the trade deadline in 2015. But since Danny traded for IT, you can't deny that IT played well for the Celts and even ended up becoming an MVP candidate. Besides, the point is why would you mock IT if you're a Celtic fan? The Pats board, and I know you're one of the posters there, already labeled the new guy a troll. He's just too fake, a phony! I haven't posted on that board in years!
Prove me wrong ...

I didn't know you stopped posting there. This is one of those times I don't have to prove you wrong. He's already on my ignore list, so it's not a big deal.

Thad Young playing well for the Bulls.
I think he's the next best thing to Harrison Barnes.

With nine players out, Boston Celtics to have minimum eight players for game vs. Miami Heat. I was wrong we were real close however. Hopefully no more. 8 is enough. Remember that show!

According to the celticsblog podcast, Harrison Barnes is overpaid and he could be available. I still prefer Harrison Barnes over Thad Young, but both would be the perfect PF for the Celts.

I do not like either. I just can't put my finger on it. Both would be an upgrade over Semi and GWill. Those two can also guard bigger players. They're not all-star players, but they fill a need. And both have lots of playoff experience.

I think I used to battle Fierce once in awhile. Now I am defending him. Maybe Solly will end up the same way. Time will tell. But he already predicted the Celts will not be in the finals this season. I mean really??? The Celts don't even have Kemba back yet and Ainge has yet to use the TPE. And less than 10 games into the season he already predicted Celts will not be in the finals. What's worse than that? He already told some of us that Jayson Tatum will be leaving Boston soon. Really??? Tatum's new contract hasn't even started yet and Tatum is already leaving Boston because Boston is not a good enough city for a guy like Jayson Tatum? And if/when Tatum leaves, will you move the goalposts?...give it a fricking rest already...we have a new poster...sorta cool...
I have got a thousand bucks that says no way if effing hell both Tatum and Brown re-up with the Celtics if Ainge is still the GM...not a chance in hell...too bad if you are delusional...

I think the point here is that we all know Tatum just signed a max deal. Some might be worried about his NEXT deal, as we tend to not be able to keep players that long.........I get it

A knowledgeable basketball fan would at least wait for Kemba to come back to see how he fits in with this current Celtics team then come to a conclusion. Kemba is a legit all-star who's also one of the best scorers in the NBA and he's not going to make a difference? Who are you kidding! Well, Mr. Knowledgeable, odds are that Kemba will suck...that is how it tends to go for short guys whose game is based on quick movements and then they get knee injuries...not to mention he never has been any good at defense...say what you want, doesnt make it so even if say it over and over...

I get it, having a new poster around is cool. But wolf in sheep's clothing is not cool.

I know you don't like Kemba. Nothing I will say will change your mind. The solution is just to wait for Kemba to return and see how it goes.
