Here's a little trivia for you! In the 1964 Draft, with the 7th pick the Celtics selected Mel Counts!! Some guy named Willis Reed went 8th to the Knicks!! The same draft, we took Rom Bonham, when Jerry Sloan was still available!! Not even Red was perfect!! Little more trivia.. Red won 7 titles. Ainge has 1.. Kinda ends this converstion.. I haven't looked it up yet but i think Red won more than 7!! |

Particularly this baseball coach.
I hear that Cora is going to install some state of the art (no trashcan banging this time, please) intelligence gathering strategies modeled on his undercover work in Texas.
Stay tuned. Should be fun...
Pud
We gave you Betts and a chanpionship last year and banished Cora.. Don't expect as much help this year.. Once a crook....
... always a crook.

Haha, I wish the Sox forum was more alive, maybe once the year starts. I'll post some this week.. Now to be clear.. It's not Pumpsie's sister forum the one here.. I was waiting on the dust to settle looks like a lot of new faces this year.. I love Cora like Hedley loves Stevens.. I'll say this.. Baseball managers can change the game more than NBA coaches.. I do like Cora. And I liked Tito. Didn't care for anyone else since the Zipper. However, to be consistent in my thinking, I believe Cora got off lightly. He cheated, Pete Rose cheated. He gets back in, Pete doesn't. Is that right? |

Red always drafted for need, the current GM drafts the best player. |

Did you notice what happened to the Lakers when AD got hurt?? They lost 4 in a row! Brad has been dealing with that all season, plus the loss of Hayward! Actually we're doing pretty good to be where we are! Amen, brother. I think we will be much better in the second half of the year. Will Brad be a genius then? |

Bad is not rhe word i would use. He is not great lets face it. Is he the guy that will take us to that chip? Doubt it. Thats what it boils down to. The chip. Cabby.. Just having a winning record is fine with a lot of folks here.. The Fierce attitude is gaining traction.. '' A championship is a plus not a goal.. Somehow ya get rewarded for coming in second third or fourth. Just lower your bar or expectations . Welcome to the new America |

Still, league insiders don’t believe the Celtics can stand pat, and potentially waste a year of the primes of their two young building blocks who are playing at an elite level. “There comes a time where you have to do something to keep your stars placated and show that you’re trying, especially when they’re young and early in their primes,” the East executive said. “You have to make that commitment to them.” – via Tim Bontemps @ ESPN

That’s something Ainge has been reluctant to do in the past. The last time Boston acquired a player in an in-season trade was six years ago, when the team landed Isaiah Thomas from Phoenix. Only the San Antonio Spurs have a longer drought. “They’ll only do something,” the West executive said, “if they think they’re going to bury you.” – via Tim Bontemps @ ESPN

Despite developing two All-Stars in Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, Boston’s momentum has cratered. A series of free agent defections, misspent draft picks and cuts in payroll has resulted in a team that finds itself far off from the stated goal of hanging an 18th championship banner to the TD Garden rafters. Their weaknesses have been exposed, and they’re lacking in good options to fix them. So, with two games left before the All-Star Break and less than four weeks until the trade deadline, the Celtics are still searching for their identity. “I feel like our group is pretty together,” Celtics GM Danny Ainge told ESPN. “Guys are working hard still, and I feel like we don’t really know who this team is yet.” – via Tim Bontemps @ ESPN

I have to say - if this is the attitude around the league, if no one trusts him or wants to deal with him, then he has to go. I'll have mixed feelings, but right now I feel it's time.
