Gonna give Stevens some credit.. What game did you folks watch? Damn sure wasn't this one..
The reason we won..
Brad Stevens explains why the double-big lineup worked vs. Atlanta
The much-maligned “double-big” lineup of center Tristan Thompson and big man Daniel Theis were an instrumental part of the Boston Celtics’ 121 – 109 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night at TD Garden, perhaps to the surprise of more than a few of Brad Stevens’ critics on that issue.
Add in plenty of time for Theis or Thomas and reserve center Robert Williams III, and there were big men a-plenty on the floor for the Celtics — and the chemistry was good, as was their scoring and defense for the most part. Thompson played his best game with Boston yet, scoring 17 points and 5 rebounds, and Theis played well with 14 points, 8 boards and 3 blocks.

Rozier keeps playing great ball. Too bad we didnt keep him. Can’t have all alpha dogs. Have to pick. I am OK with the choice of Tatum and Brown over Rozier. Happy for him. He is playing with a lot of confidence. as if kemba wasnt alpha.

WHT are you taking about/ The choice was never Tatum or Brown over Rozier. Turns out it was Walker over Rozier with and it costs us about 10 mil a year... che dont remember your stance on rozier while he was a celtic but i dont think any of the other guys is ncluding JT and JB has had steady playoffs like rozier did. Them three could have grown to be really good players together. Just my two cents

It took him soooo long to acknowledge big presence down the post. Guy is just exploring with rotations. I call it a lucky shot.

Brad is a good coach! I used to think he was a great coach!! Why does this team not fast break more? Seems like we could get a lot more easy baskets, then coming down setting up and letting Tatum and Brown get doubled! It would benefit Kemba, RWill,Nesmith, Pritchard and Theis, to be on a running team!!

We could use Joe Johnson and Isaiah Thomas on our bench! Deduct Waters and Tacko. Since we ain't ever going to play Tacko! Joe could teach these boys a few tricks, Isaiah too!
The little guy is a big deal again ...

It would benefit Kemba, RWill,Nesmith, Pritchard and Theis, to be on a running team!! Many teams don't try to get offensive rebounds. Unless you get a steal, or basket hang, it's very difficult to be a "running" team anymore. Teams hoist a three, then sprint back on D. I'd love to see it, too, but it's impractical right now

Do we go after DeMarcus Cousins again? I don't think Brad is strong enough to handle his personality, personally.
The irony is that Cousins keeps becoming available and at a friendlier cost each time ... sure, that he becomes available says something (not positive) but at some point you have nothing to lose (given no guarantee and minimum salary able to be waived) so don't you have to give it a try at least once ... if it works great, if not, cut and run. I just don't advocate cutting any current bigs to add him. Move Theis to PF and let Cousins play C with TT & Rob.
Test drive Cousins asap and if it doesn't work then move on to Barnes & Collins or Gordon or Markkanen if and when they become available. But leave no stone unturned especially given that future hoped for acquisition is not a guarantee. Take what's dropped in your lap and be thankful.

Kemba was an all star looking to win and fit into a better team. Rozier would be searching for stardom like Tatum and Brown appear to be. Hayward was clearly unhappy not having a featured role. There is only so much of ball to go around. That is why super super stars become so much more important than multiple super stars. Unless stars fit. Like KG in big 3 and to a lesser extent, Draymond Green on Warriors. Then, to a slightly smaller extent, our own Marcus Smart.

We are struggling to have a decent rotation the 2nd of back to back.

I don't think we need Cousins. RWill needs to play more. We need someone who can score off our bench

If I remember right he played well and want a problem at gs. He just got hurt again He would get frustrated regularly, had a hard time fitting in as rebounding big body clogging the lane and playing defense, he would get lost. Basically he is not a complimentary piece, he can’t adjust to a system around other stars. In Sac, he was the alpha dog and others had to adjust around him. That was when he was considered to be a star quality player.

WHT are you taking about/ The choice was never Tatum or Brown over Rozier. Turns out it was Walker over Rozier with and it costs us about 10 mil a year... che dont remember your stance on rozier while he was a celtic but i dont think any of the other guys is ncluding JT and JB has had steady playoffs like rozier did. Them three could have grown to be really good players together. Just my two cents I was a Rozier fan from the day he was drafted. He's not a great distributor either but plays lockdown D every game.. If Walker was making Rozier's money i could maybe live with it.. He'll get beat to death in the playoffs on both ends. Young outscored him and had 11 assiststwice as many but somehow Walker gets the credit for a win.. On Stevens. He's not great and he's not the worst.. Average. Maybe he got lucky.. He's tried going big finally this year and TT had a decent game for the most part.. Coudn't stop Capela but he finally scored above 8 pts.. Theis is way underated on the defensive end..

I haven't heard or read that he was a problem in Houston either ... And Houston is not playing for anything either. The higher the quality, the higher the requirement to understand your role and fit in.

Kemba was let go by Jordan because he couldn't win. Kemba was looking for 30 plus mil.. Ainge was the only fool offering that money. Your one fucked up POS...

Let's not take this to the new game thread.
So Tues night after I played I ran to the store. They had those rotisserie chickens on sale for $0.99 just trying to get them out the door before they expire. I bought two of them even though I really didn't want them. I just left them in the trunk to deal with in the morning, when they were obviously frozen solid as it was below zero. I was in my little car that stays outside that I drive around town so they froze fast
I bought some homemade type noodles and I just cut one of the chickens up and I'm boiling some chicken and noodles. Should be ready around game time
