Simmons/Jackie MacMullan By SHRMDouglas
Jackie Mac was on Simmons' podcast and they had some interesting thoughts on the C's. Wondering what other's thought. Simmons is easy to dismiss as a Celtics honk and rabble rouser, but Jackie Mac is as good of a basketball mind as there is in the NBA and is tapped into the league.
Some highlights:
* They both wonder about Ainge and feel there is some pressure on him. If the TPE goes away, there's not a lot of ways to improve this team. Jackie says that Danny could contemplate stepping down.
* Both think the defense is a major problem and comment on how they are small and often disengaged on the defensive end.
* Offensively, Simmons says he thinks Brad is coaching this team like the 2014 Spurs with multiple capable players moving the ball. They just don't have the talent to execute.
* Veteran moves (Teague and TT) were a swing and miss.
* I thought this was interesting - both talked about how JB and JT are great and untouchable players, but that neither has yet figured out how to make each other better...or anyone around them better. I think there's some progress being made here but this is fair at this point. I never think "Man JT and JB are taking this game over"...it's more about one of them getting hot.
* Jackie Mac says there are FOUR guys on the roster that don't even belong in the NBA...anyone want to take any guesses? Mine are:
-Waters -Tacko -Edwards -Green

Could be GWill too. So undersized for his position.

I think I found some footage of our small lineup being manhandled.

Raptors will supposedly be missing many key players like VanVleet, Siakam and OG. This should be a pretty easy win, that's why I'm pretty sure it won't.

C's typical sloppy play and underestimating their opponent has them down early. This game should be a blowout, but in typical C's fashion, they're instead giving this undermanned team a ton of confidence.

Were a really bad defensive team at times..
What did Stevens say last week.. Didn't matter what defense we played we played them all bad ?

Toronto undermanned BIGTIME...STILL puts up a 34 point quarter on this poor Boston defense. 34 - 31 Raptors after 1.

Toronto keeps getting wide open 3's. Payton hits a 3.
