Brown + Tatum 13 assists..
Over 25 for the team..Were at about a 90% win rate when we have over 25.

Interesting stat; Celts won all 4 quarters by 4, 1, 6, and 2 points. Consistent effort tonite.

3rd quarter, tied game. Kemba out Pritchard in. Momentum shifted in les than two minutes just by sharing the ball. Kemba needs to watch some Pritchard videos to see how its done.

4th. Up 12. Kemba comes to the game. Pritchard out. Ball stops moving, we lose part of the lead. Frustrating

BS immediately calls a time out, brings back pritchard and we score a three. Assist Pritchard. The next possesion, kemba brings the ball down, does not make a single pass misses the shot, jokic scores. Next possession again, kemba with the yoyo, passes it once, gets the ba back drives in, blocked. Honestly. This is whats wrong with this team.

Nice win. I thought our bench did very well. Pritchard and TimeLord seem to enjoy playing together.
We moved the ball, and moved our bodies. Nesmith did a nice job. More to follow, hopefully. A few more games like that, and he could start over Semi, who did nothing on offense, IMO.
We always look good when we win............night all

A little recognition tonight that Waters, Edwards,Teague and GWill were part of our problems.

it’s still the G-league. Taco dominated down there and still can’t get minutes on our .500 team. Then again we have Coach Brad blocking his path......

Then again we have Coach Brad blocking his path...... someone out there is watching waiting for tacko to be unloaded to give him an opportunity. Brad watches videos but forgets to pay attention to tacko. Guy gets the ball and quickly has three four guys hanging onto him and fouling him. He draws that much attention. Fk lack of lateral movement. Cant find 5 legs on a cat when he only has four. No lateral movement but makes up on other areas. All i ask is 5 mins at least a game for this guy. Yet we can play atrocious kemba because he was once a star.

oh shit. This guy is a beast. How could someone like this go undrafted. And our scout, Ainge son.

Brad justifying Neismith increase of PT:
When we all know 1. He hasnt had minutes 2. Has shown signs of being a good player.
Brad once again displaying his bullshit ways of talking to the media as a guy who has it figured out before admitting he was wrong.

I think the Saddiq Bey performance must have brought hellfire down on him from Danny Ainge is my speculation.

On Nesmith - he was hurt his last year at Vandy. He came into the league out of shape. Add no training camp or summer league, and that's why he didn't play at the beginning. When he first got minutes, he didn't play well. Sporadic. 33% from the floor, and 32% on threes SHOULD NOT get you minutes, if your forte is shooting. Now that he is playing better, he will play more. Brad has been saying for weeks he likes his work ethic, and he'll soon be given a chance. Correct decision by Brad.
On Tacko - so, on one hand, our GM can't draft to save his life, and on the other, he finds Tacko after 30 teams passed on him TWICE? So, does that make him a good finder of talent now? I don't get some of the comments on here. Even after a win, some guys are miserable Monday morning Point Guards! Perhaps there is a reason Tacko went undrafted? Last year, as a two way player, he was a side show act, only in at garbage time. This year? He has improved, but obviously not to the point where he is reliable? Do we know what he's like in practice? NOPE. Do we know if he understands defensive rotations? NOPE. Would he be in the G League again this year? YES. He's still on a two way contract. What is 5 mins per game going to get in this kids development? He needs to play.
Frankly, some of you have a hell of a nerve saying this kid should be playing - or anyone should. If they could "play", they would. On Stevens - again, it's a players league, and he doesn't have the players. NOT ON HIM. In precisely how many games this year has he had a FULL squad? Conference Finals 3 of the past 5 years, with sometimes marginal talent. 2 games from the Finals last year, with two cripples in the starting lineup.
NOPE, IT'S NOT THE COACH. PERIOD

The lack of PT strongly suggests, at least to me, that they don't belong.

I see very little positive with our team to go even 1 round if we make it to the playoffs. Tristan was not a great choice averaging 6.6 pts and 8 rebs…I wanted 10 pts and 12-15 rebs. We lost Hayward. Brown has been terrific and Tatum inconsistent…says he is still affected by having had the virus…could be? Kemba too…inconsistent. Yup, Smart is injured but when not, many complain he should not be shooting 3s as regularly as Brown & Tatum. The real only bright spot has been rookie Prichard I think.
To change the subject, here are the 5 most players discussed in possible trades. With the $28.5 million TPE, the largest in league history, should Ainge consider using it or some of not for one of the following mentioned as possible likely to be traded?
Andre Drummond (Cleveland), Bradley Beal (Washington), Harrison Barnes (Sacramento), Kyle Lowry (Toronto, Nemanja Bjelica (Sacramento).
I read somewhere that the Lakers were interested in Drummond with Davis out injured. I think Davis will be back in month or so and even without Drummond they are probably favored to repeat. Drummond would really make them unstoppable, I think, and whom do they really have to trade for him? The Lakers made a great addition with Dennis Schröder. He is an energetic guy who can should 3s and also drive to the basket.
Also, read that the Clippers might trade Lou Williams. Unfortunately he is 34 years old. I don’t know how many times he has come off the bench and scored 30 points against us. I don’t know a 6th man presently who score more points. I’d take him if we could get him cheap.

PERIOD so much for the whole ots ok to disagree but then show anger on your post and diminish others opinions. You speak as if we were winning or as if Kemba was great. Pleasseee.
