Yeah i'll let the 10% for Stevens stand.. My mistake Most said 30 to 40 but we really don't know how much imput Stevens has had putting this team together. Deep playoff run? Looks like you and Fierce agree. What i see.. Is a deep devide between the old folks here and the younger ones who buy this hype and propaganda that Ainge spews. Looks like ya sayin.. I like this team echoing Ainge.. Deep as in make the Semi finals. I always thought if they play to their potential in a series theyre a top 4 team in the east. I have said they arent as good as last year, in which they were probably lucky to make the ECF. I just think theres a limit on to what you can really add. I think the team definitely could add better role players/ or a legit Big who can shoot, or more shooters overall. I just dont believe in the short term it really matters. Ainge could do every deal that we want, he could get Grant, Turner, McDermott, Barnes, swap Brown for Beal and they still arent winning anything imo. Thats why I dont really fret on his current moves.

Remember 2021 when the Celtics made it to the semi finals?

With Turner, we don't have Thompson........SLIGHT upgrade, but we can keep Wanamaker, and get another shooter with the MLE. Just say for arguments sake.......Jeff Green. So now our bench is Wanamaker, Green, McBuckets, RWill and Theis.
Sorry, folks, but that team is MUCH better than the one we have!!

We might find a PG for 35 mil that can run this team..

That's an RV.
If it has original tires and trim, it could be worth some serious $$$.
I see a good used vinyl trimmed double wide in your future on a 50' lot.

Especially in the NBA where you need a group of specific players.

Their ceiling to me is the same, they arent good enough no matter who comes here. But I agree, if you are trying to max out this year that wouldve been a better play

Ainge said about the time Stevens was hired and we had plenty of ist round picks. This is a four or five year rebuild.. I took him at his word.. We are well past that and soon it will be 10 years. I'm not 30 .

They did rebuild into a very good team quickly though. I know you dont like that, which is fair. They are what the Jazz, or the Bucks or the Nuggets are. This year they underachieved so far, but its incredibly hard to get to the championship level

Few ever meet them i admit. I could and might later dig thu the posts here before the year started.. The tide as tuned.. Around 90% of Celtic fans thought we were the team to beat in the East this year. Public opinion now is what? Just the opposite.. Public opinion will run Ainge out of town soon and likely his running buddy Brad. I'll be fanning the flames.

Maybe I am not as upset since I was not in that 90%. I actually think thats what got me labeled as a fake fan on here originally. My expectations in the NBA are always low. If they do switch it up at coach or GM then I wouldnt complain, just dont think itd do much. If they do replace STevens, Id like to see Chauncy Billups step in. Championship player whos young enough to connect with this generation

I see where Marcus said, some of the reasons the team wasn't playing well, were from personal problems! We're all humans, he said! Wonder if the teams that we have been playing, have any personal problems, or are humans?? Pathetic excuse!!

Felger & Mazz picked up on my Trade Tatum post apparently ...
Felger just said that Tatum could be another Carmelo Anthony and maybe the C's should trade him for another star. Mazz thinks it's premature and JT needs some more time before giving up on him but both agree that Tatum is lacking Alpha Dog qualities.
They have also reported an influx of rumors at the college level that Brad may accept the Indy job any day. That doesn't seem to have credence but just more heat being applied to Brad by IU insiders and alumni.

He might as well move on as he appears to have little or no affect on his player. Not exactly a big enough personality to lead this group.
